Doctor Who thing of the day: “Pond Life” parts 1, 2, 3

Cockneys vs Zombies (NSFW trailer)

question of the day: Why have the works of Isaac Asimov had such a singularly bad record of getting turned into movies?

Norfolk photo of the day: not a hobbit house
Of course not. Hobbit houses have round doors, not square.
