Ladies and gentlemen, pray take your seats and prepare to submit yourselves to the transcendental musings of the one and only Twilight princess …
Say what you will about movie stars, they're the world's most criminally undervalued workforce. Certainly by themselves. Someone who was in a film with Gerard Butler once told me of the latter's rapturous reaction to some rushes. "Jesus!" marvelled Butler. "Did you see my eyes in that take?"
Ah, Gerard … an actor whose case notes were long ago branded with my special stamp reading: "Just Not A Leading Man." Still, let's all be encouraged by the news that he is reportedly in talks to reprise the Patrick Swayze role in the deeply called-for Point Break remake (can it be called Pointless Break?). On the basis of the above, few would be better placed than Butler to deliver the classic line: "I know you want me so bad...

When it was announced that Doctor Who was returning after a lengthy hiatus, the fans were wondering whether they would be getting the real deal. Would The Doctor still be a Time Lord with two hearts? Would he still be travelling in his Tardis? Would it still have the Ooo-wee-ooo theme tune? And just as crucially, would any old monsters be returning?
As it happened, there was no cause for alarm. The season opener Rose brought back the Autons and the Nestene Consciousness for a rematch, and to cement the fact that this was still the same show from the good old days, along came a Dalek in a story called, well, what do you know – Dalek.
Dalek wheels out the tinpot meanies for the first in a long line of rematches against The Doctor. In a way it had a lot to prove for both old and new audiences alike.
