Thoughts on the evening's televisual offerings

- In mediaeval times, it was believed that the pelican fed its young with its own blood; by extension, it came to represent Christ (there's a particularly terrifying sculpture of one in the oldest court of Corpus Christi, Cambridge). I wonder if modern christians would be tempted to do likewise with that rather Cthulhoid limbless amphibian which feeds its own skin to its young?
- Lungfish rock. Giant salamanders also rock, but lungfish rock more.
- I am very glad I am not a frog. Childcare is vexing enough without having to carry the kids inside your hips (leaving the slow ones to die), or feeding children their unfertilised potential siblings.
- Karma is so going to come kick our backsides over Life in Cold Blood. Bad enough last week, when they nicked all the lizard's bling and gave it to a poor lizard, to show what materialist hos the lizard WAGS were. But now the golden frog! The plague is coming, the population is shrinking...and suddenly these strange apparitions appear. Doppelgangers, plastic people, simulations and replicants. And then the entire population is abducted off to live in jars! That's a horror story. Despite, or maybe even more so because of, the good intentions behind it.

- Do the young folk really get down and dirty to DJ Shadow?
- Bill Bailey is very nearly as cool as David Attenborough.
- I can haz effie plz?
- Cool though Maxxie is, it looked like next week focuses on him too. That would be a mistake.
- I like Skins, but it doesn't half make me feel ancient.
