Russell T Davies: Return of the (tea) Time Lord:
The evolutionary biologist and best-selling author of The God Delusion will appear as a guest star in the new series of Doctor Who, which began last night. “People were falling at his feet,” says Davies, creator of the BBC’s flagship show. “We’ve had Kylie Minogue on that set, but it was Dawkins people were worshipping.”
Good news, everyone! New Futurama Movie in June
As Bender’s Big Score gets set to air in four installments on Comedy Central later this month, Fox Home Entertainment ahs announced that the next adventure in the series of Futurama DVD movies will be available at retail this summer. The Fate of human and robot-kind is at stake when Futurama: The Beast With A Billion Backs debuts at retail on June 24.
In what Fox is calling the most tentacle-packed Futurama epic, space itself rips open, revealing a gateway to another universe. What lies beyond is a mix of horror and love as the Planet Express crew encounters a repulsive, planet-sized monster with romantic intentions.
The second feature-length Futurama film will be followed by at least two more movies from series creators Matt Groening and David X. Cohen. The show’s entire voice cast and most of its main writers have returned to help revive the series, which FOX cancelled in 2003. Groening, who also created The Simpsons, has told us that Futurama is the animated show he’s most proud of. Those who haven’t picked up Bender’s Big Score on DVD yet can catch it on Comedy Central on March 23 at 8 p.m.

[on the TV show, Futurama]
Not only does this show contain sexual innuendo, blasphemy against our faith, and promotes the false belief in alien life forms, but it also takes place in the year 3000 (by which time the rapture will most likely have come)…

I’m sure there were a lot of people in the 10th century who were certain the world wouldn’t last another 1000 years…
I’ve come to the conclusion that Santa Claus, as portrayed in Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, is a jerk.
Here’s why:
- Santa’s elves don’t even have a dental plan. One has to wonder in what other ways Santa is exploiting the elves.
- At the very least, Santa tolerates Rudolph’s exclusion from the reindeer games by all of the other reindeer.
- At the first sign of bad weather, Santa’s reaction is to cancel his Christmas ride - why not simply postpone it?
- When it becomes clear Rudolph’s red nose may be useful, Santa lets him join his sleigh team. Why didn’t Santa just accept him unconditionally?
- Santa goes ahead and gives away a bunch of crappy toys nobody wanted in the first place. If anyone wanted those toys, they wouldn’t have been on the Island of Misfit Toys.
Absolutely, as long as it’s not that terribly depressing one about the chap who gets born on Christmas Day, shoots his mouth off about everything under the sun, and then comes a cropper with a couple of rum coves on top of a hill in Johnny Arab land.

Comic-Con: Futurama panel report:
Futurama is back, and now we know in what form. The show will return on November 27th as a full-length high-def film sold on DVD. It will be followed by three additional films, and each film will be divided into four episodes each to be aired on Comedy Central. So, that’s 4 DVD movies or 16 new episodes depending on how you look at it.
