Yes, Prime Minister

I recently ran across a used copy of The Complete Yes Prime Minister. It's brilliant; beyond reproducing the plots of the brilliant BBC comedy, it provides all sorts of interesting background material, such as Sir Humphrey's private diary, Civil Service memos, personal recollections, etc.(The premise of the book is that it's 2024 and Jonathan Lynn and David Jay are researchers at Hacker College). I read The Complete Yes Minister back in college (1989?) and loved it, but never thought to look for the sequel. I'm glad I ran across it now.

Sidenote: Here is a website that has excellent summaries of the original TV series, as well as photos and other material. Check it out.

Doctor Who

Doctor Who is coming to the SciFi network today March 10 at 9pm. I'm not talking about re-runs of one of the old series, but an original production. Hopefully, it's as good as Battlestar Galactica.
