Well, enjoyed the turkey and trimmings...also enjoyed Wallace & Gromit: A Matter of Loaf and Death. It wasn't best Wallace & Gromit adventure I've seen, but it's always a delight watching Nick Park's Plasticine heroes, and the homage to Aliens was very inventive (all that was missing was the classic line "Get away from her, you bitch!" But hey, it is a family show).
Oddly enough, I felt slightly disappointed with the Doctor Who special, The Next Doctor. Actually a better description would be slightly cheated - David Morrissey wasn't the next Doctor after all, despite all the hype (moral: don't believe the hype). Plus the hour-long special didn't feel special (the Cybermen...again? It's getting a bit repetitive). On the other hand, Dervla Kirwan was a delight as the evil Miss Hartigan.
PS: sad news about the passing of 78 year-old Harold Pinter yesterday after battling cancer. He was considered one of the 20th Century's greatest and most influential playwrights.
