  Spotlight, Etc.!

  Hey guys. I know it's been a very long time (is this how I always start my blogs now?), but I thought that the fact I'm in the TV.com Spotlight this week is reason enough to do it.

  I'm actually posting this from Movietome - for some reason I'm unable to access TV.com or Gamespot today. This has happened a lot recently - being able to visit the site one day, and then not for the next couple of days. It's no big problem as long as I get through my submissions.

  So for that reason, I'm not certain I'm in the spotlight, but I've been assured by Islander it's true! I guess I should say thanks to the "random" choosing machine that selected me...

  Um, also I'd like to make (another) apology for being absent from forums and blogs. Obviously with limited access and none of my favourite shows on at the moment, I've not really been around. Still, two of my shows will be back soon, so I'll be on here a lot more.

  TV-wise, there's not much on at the moment. What I've caught of The Sarah Jane Adventures has been quite good - I missed the finale on Monday (that is, if they did show it on the CBBC channel), but it'll be repeated this Monday. It was nice to see the return of Ms. Wormwood, the Sontarans, and of course, the Brigadier in the first part.

  

  Desperate Housewives is quite good, as well. Setting the fifth series five years in the future wasn't a bad move as it's allowed the introduction of a lot of new situations. Dave (Edie's husband) is really mystifying, and can I ask - am I the only one who seems to be uninterested in all of Susan's storylines? I'm not at all bothered about her and Jackson.

  As mentioned, two of my shows are returning early next year - Primeval and, of course, Waterloo Road. I don't know much about the third series of Primeval, but there's been a Waterloo Road press release for the first episode of Series Four (which airs on January 7th). For those who care (anyone?), both Rachel and Davina (one who was crushed by a collapsed roof, and the other who had smoke inhalation) were said to have died, but it turned out neither have! That's really good news, especially with Davina, who is one of my favourites. And it'll be the first time one of Tom's girlfriends hasn't died! Both Lorna and Izzie died in the second series...

  

  Um, Richard would never forgive me for not using my new-found spotlight fame to advertise our animation, Doreen and Maureen. After we finished the first series, I promised there would be a further series, however, we agreed only to do one final episode, which we released a couple of weeks ago. It's called "Black Wedding", and whilst it may not make complete sense if you've not seen the other episodes, it's still pretty funny. It continues from the cliffhanger at the end of "Emo Grunts", and has some nice twists. Check it out here (and definitely watch after the credits):

  I think that's about it for today. I hope you guys are all okay, and I'll try to keep this up a little more regularly.

  (Can't see my TV.com level or percentage...is it Level 32 or 33...? And it's around 58%, right? I don't know, I'm just guessing...)

  It's Fixed!

  Hooray! My website problems are fixed - I'm back on TV.com! I'll explain more about the problem/solution later, this is just a quickie blog to tell you that I'll be back posting, blogging, and Editoring soon!

  About the redesign, the front page looks nice, but the layout on the profile pages is terrible. I'm sure there'll be more that I like and dislike as I look over the site.

  Hope you guys are all well, and I'm sorry I've been semi-absent for so long.

  Level 32, 53%

  Blog #112

  Heya all - I've just got a few things to talk about, so it's gonna be short and sweet.

  Firstly, I'm very sad to see Lin (LMH68 ) leave TV.com so suddenly. She was a wonderful contributor to the site over the two years she was here, and very supportive of everyone. I'm glad I befriended her. I first met Lin on the Torchwood board during the first series, and then she kept popping up everywhere! Like I said to her in a PM (I guess she blocked comments on her blog), I wish her the best of luck, and I hope we she her come back sometime.

  Secondly, TV.com is messed up. For me, at least. I can't access it at all. Whenever I visit a page, it just goes blank...absolutely nothing comes up. At the moment, I'm writing this from Gamespot (and I do the same for visiting blogs and reading PMs). That means I can't access any of the TV.com boards, nor my submission queue.

  Having said that, the other day, the site loaded a bit, but not fully. This is what it looked like as I tried to get to my submissions:

  

  I PMed a TV.com staff member, and my queue is being looked after. Unfortunately, I'm unable to check my forums for unnecessary topics, so please report any if you see them. If anyone has any suggestions to fixing this problem, please say! I really don't know what I'm gonna do!

  That is all for today - see ya around!

  Level 32, 53%-ish (I'm guessing - I can't see! I'm Level 7, 33% on Gamespot!)
