Word of the Year
Flawed moral compass combined with power to change the universe and tendency to giggle and shout "Run!" when you should be serious and responsible =
WHOBRIS ?

Silly Speculation (non spoilery)
Yesterday, we received a junk mail magazine subscription magazine offer, labelled "Time - Do Not Bend"
Am I the only person who immediately imagined Nine retorting, "'Cos I know what I'm doin' an' you don't!" ?
And, continuing from my last entry, I am now convinced that next Christmas's big plot twist will be that Gromit is a Time Lord in disguise:
The evidence:
a) Gromit can build just about anything inventive/electrical
b) Gromit can drive most things, including balloons
c) Gromit can gaze soulfully across the void to a parallel universe (Yorkshire)
d) Gromit can win the heart of a fiesty little blonde who saves the day with a forklift truck
e) Gromit has such soulful eyes, he doesn't need to speak, which will be a pleasant change after Ten.
f) Gromit can run a bakery single-handed - therefore his need for sleep is minimal
g) Gromit has made the cover of the Xmas Radio Times
h) RTD loves to ref American SF shows, and something very similar has been done on Futurama with Leela's dog
and, of course, the clincher:
WALLACE'S HOUSE IS BIGGER ON THE INSIDE

What this country needs now
The Thames is misbehaving again. Fortunately, we English are very good at gallows humour (see The Blitz, etc).
