Changing the subject for no apparent reason.

Relevant to this thread, I am a fan of Dr Who. I thought the Tenth Doctor David Tennant with Rose Tyler (Billie Piper) was sensational. Great on screen chemistry. But then along came the Eleventh Doctor Matt Smith - Amy Pond (Karen Gillan), equally good if not better.

Would love to see the old B&W series again, First Doctor (William Hartnell/Richard Hurndall), and Second Doctor Patrick Troughton.

Turned on the telly this morning and there is no Insiders (no Offsiders either). Is this because it's Easter Sunday? I'd understand if they replaced it with a religious programme but they are showing a very old kids movie, Puffnstuf

The luvvies probably haven't worked since Wednesday, a sickie on Thursday, the holiday and probably a public service rdo on Tuesday.

This is the ABC, not Sky News Miss Hale.

How can you expect them to broadcast today!

[Miss Hale]

That's true, I remember when they had their Christmas break it went for about two months

Oh well, channel 10 was still on board, I watched Bolt and Meet the Press over there

“Reframe: How to solve the world's trickiest problems”

I contacted Andrew Leigh's office recently on behalf of a charming local Cambodian shopkeeper who needed a little help understanding our culture with regard to promoting his business online. Pretty simple really, would have looked good on Andrew's CV and his frequent letterbox drop.

Hardly "the world's trickiest problem"........but I received no response, nothing.
