I wasn't looking forward to it particularly; the Christmas spectacular had been brilliantly conceived and directed, but had it been too warped even for my tastes (a german vampire paedophile anyone?). But my mum loved it.

In the end, last night's League of Gentlemen was rather spectacular; thankfully, like the christmas shows, it remained refreshingly laugh track free, and followed a storyline as funny as it was deeply, deeply disturbing. Pauline and Ros shagged, which has to be a benchmark for class really. One of the stars used to work for Rolf's Cartoon Club, and has admitted to forging a Rolferoo, drawing a huge erection on it, and sending it a young fan of the show. Allegedly.

In other TV news, Stargate began season six on Sky the night before, and myself and the man George give it the thumbs up, with reservations. There were awkward moments, where characters 'bonded' and such, but on the whole it was a good start and Jonas' character proved himself a unique addition to the cast rather than a bog standard replacement to Daniel Jackson. But we demand more Anubis and The Ancients. Excitingly, Daniel Jackson will be making appearances in three episodes of this season; the jury is still out on whether there'll be a seventh season, but it's most likely it will be without Jack O'Neill. MGM has also suggested a movie is a possibility, though whether this means a TV Movie a la Babylon 5 I don't know...

So the pair of us are geeks - sue us.
