TV

Dave Gorman: Modern Life is Goodish
1x05 I Like Eggs
I didn't think I liked Dave Gorman, but I caught this episode by accident and really liked it. So that's nice. Obviously I don't know if other episodes are up to the same standard, but his deconstruction of ridiculous advertising practices in this one was bang-on and very amusing.

Audio Drama

Doctor Who [Big Finish]
19x03 Minuet in Hell Part Three

I'm beginning to wonder if this is meant to be a comedy... but it's not funny enough for that, and does seem to be taking itself seriously most of the time. Weirdly, there are some potentially good ideas in there, but none of them are explored; it's just a laughable run-around.

Comics

Wolverine #3-4 by Chris Claremont & Frank Miller

I wonder how much this actually inspired the movie, and how much it's just coincidence that some bits are kind of alike.
