		<description><![CDATA[And so the new incarnation of Dr Who has his first adventure on BBC One, with 27 year old Matt Smith as the latest actor to portray the eponymous Time Lord.  The one thing about Doctors these days is that if you don&#8217;t like the current one, there&#8217;ll probably be another one along in a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I am an enormous fan of the re-visioning of &#8216;Battlestar Galactica&#8217; &#8211; good story and plot, good characters, nice combination of high tech and retro gadgets (loved the old style telephone handset that was used in the command centre).  Combine that with excellent soundtrack &#8211; just the best TV science fiction in recent years.  When [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of my professional interests is in Artificial Intelligence &#8211; AI.  I think I&#8217;ve had an interest in the simulation of human personality by software for as long as I&#8217;ve been interested in programming, and have also heard most of the jokes around the subject &#8211; particularly those to do with &#8217;making friends&#8217;.   In fiction, most artificial intelligences that [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of the useful spin-offs from the recent (and ongoing purge and tidy) at Pritchard Towers is that every now and again something floats up that makes you think &#8220;Whoa, yes, relevant with a capital &#8216;R&#8217;&#8221;.  The most recent relevant thing to catch my attention was a copy of Bernard Crick&#8217;s excellent biography of George [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I read this short story again recently; it&#8217;s by Ursula Le Guin and is one of the most haunting short stories that I&#8217;ve ever read.  The only short story that sticks with me more than this one is Parke Godwin&#8217;s &#8216;Stroke of Mercy&#8217;, which is stunning. I&#8217;d suggest you go and read &#8216;The Ones Who [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Over the last couple of days I&#8217;ve taken a break from Don DeLillo&#8217;s &#8216;Libra&#8217; and have returned to one of my all time favourite horror / science fiction writers, H P Lovecraft.  In particular, I&#8217;m re-reading his novella &#8216;The Case of Charles Dexter Ward&#8217; - an everyday tale of international grave robbing, ghoulish possession and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Bugger. Like a lot of things, I guess that in my heart of hearts I knew that eventually all the venerable old writers of science fiction, the folks who I grew up with, would all pass away.  When it starts happening it&#8217;s a strange experience.  The world has enough obituaries for ACC &#8211; here I [...]]]></description>
