Seriously, I checked the BBC and didn't see his name so I thought that they were taking the piss. As you may guess I am not the sort of person who follows the line up of festivals as the prospect of spending a rainy weekend up to my armpits in mud with a bunch of zonked out hippies does not appeal. However Suzanne Vega is playing....

Today is day 94. Even in 2011 (bad year) we had notched up four deaths by this time. However in 2003 there were three deaths within 11 days during March and these were the first hits for the year. 2003 went on to be one of the best years ever. Are the floodgates going to open soon or is there a long death drought on the horizon? My gloom is intensified because I am still 0/60 across my three DDP teams and I only have 292 points on the Deathrace.

The guest post in Wilko Johnson was annoying. I am just trying to think if a regular poster had made the same 'joke' then would I have found it funny. Maybe it needed to have a smiley or a winking face after it to indicate that it was meant to be funny. Maybe I am just being oversensitive.

Promoters are saying this will be the last Monty Python reunion. They claim that pressure of work will prevent the world tour but looking at the photo is there something they are not telling us. Based on this I would predict the following order of dying Eric Idle John Cleese Terry Jones Terry Gilliam Michael Palin Anyone care to disagree?

279. Patrick Troughton Would anyone like to guess my next one?

A picture is worth a thousand words. This is the reunited radio cast of THHGTTG for a live recording on Radio 4 on Saturday. Note Stephen Moore (back left). The others looks OK for now and long may they stay so.

Although her appearances were in two of the less well respected stories. Time and the Rani is worth checking out for Kate O' Mara's hilarious impersination of Bonnie Langford which she keeps up for a couple of episodes. Possibly the nadir of Doctor Who writing. RIP Kate.
