Celebrating 25 years of the “Natural World”, BBC 2’s splendid natural history series was back tonight with an in depth look at the Mountain Gorilla’s of Rwanda, specifically a silverback called Titus. Watching it on a whim I was soon drawn into this fascinating world of the Gorilla and found myself quite affected by the story told. With my background in Zoology I have always been aware of the mountain Gorilla’s, of Diana Fossey and her plight and was therefore intrigued when I found out that the leading man of tonight’s show was a Gorilla born under the watchful eye of Diane Fossey and ...

So I watched The Bachelorette yesterday. I'm a day late, as usual, because my husband doesn't want to watch it (go figure) so I wait til he's at work. DeAnna was down to her final 4 guys. Not that it matters because it probably won't work out with any of them and I really should focus on more important things, but here is what I think: JEREMY is the guy who shares her pain of losing a parent. He, apparently, has lost both. I can't even imagine. I have, however, lost my father. So I understand how it could create a very strong bond ... Read Full Story

So tonight's the American Idol finale. Although I would like David Cook to win, I didn't waste my time voting this year. Both David's will get record deals either way and, frankly, both deserve it. I've always said David Archuleta is not my thing, but I can't deny that he can sing. I don't know that I agreed with Simon last night in saying that Archuleta out did Cook. I actually loved Cook's second song that Simon hated. I didn't care for the Collective Soul song he did, but I didn't like the original either. I'm really not sure who I think will win ...

Word on the street is that the tv show, ER is finally coming to an end. I am surprised, however, to hear that it is still on. I could have sworn it ended 10 years ago, when I stopped watching it. So, to find out that it will have gone 15 seasons before it's end is crazy to me. All I can say is thank goodness for House and Grey's Anatomy , or who knows what ER fans would do now. Personally, I'm sick of all the hospital dramas and law dramas too for that matter. I've watched House and it is what it ... Read Full Story

With the BBC finally starting to live up to the licence payers money this past Sunday saw the revival of the hit series “Survivors”. Remade from the 1970’s original, written by Terry Nation also creator of Dr Who, the 90minute pilot episode hit our screens with the contemporary explosion that was much needed to start the 21st century’s new take on the classic story…..and it didn’t disappoint.   Having not actually been alive in the 70’s I had no idea what was in store….a virus wiping out most people on earth but other than that, not a clue. The opening episode took much time ... Read Full Story
