The Watcher: April 2008
http://whoisthewatcher.thisisnottingham.co.uk/2008_04_01_archive.html
The News in your area. The Unveiling of the Brian Clough Statue. Saturday, 26 April 2008. Well, I don’t know if it was just low expectations following last week’s flattish effort (and previous two-parters stinking the place up), but I ended up rather enjoying that. Not sure it all quite hung together, but there were a lot of very pleasing bits - not least the fact the Sontarans are rather interesting all of a sudden, aren’t they? Been done, hasn’t it? Sontarans aside, there was a lot for oldies and newbi...

The Watcher: Regeneration: Who knew?
http://whoisthewatcher.thisisnottingham.co.uk/2008/07/regeneartion-who-knew.html
The News in your area. The Unveiling of the Brian Clough Statue. Wednesday, 2 July 2008. If you can read this, it means that - finally - the Internet is cool enough to touch again. As has been widely reported, the sheer level of fan speculation following Saturday’s explosive climax (it reached an incredible 17.3 on the Hugh-Bonneville Scale) caused heat exchangers at the Internet’s UK hub - actually a giant warehouse in Rugby - to go into meltdown. It’s great, innit? 8217; bit…. 8230;in the Black Country...

The Watcher: Last-minute change
http://whoisthewatcher.thisisnottingham.co.uk/2008/06/last-minute-change.html
The News in your area. The Unveiling of the Brian Clough Statue. Saturday, 28 June 2008. As your correspondent (currently convalescing in East coast exile) drops, drained and confused, into the Chair of Reckoning for the weekly outpouring, the mobile goes off. As your resident Mysterious Projection From The Future, I feel I’ve let you down, because I just didn’t see it coming. But did you? I mean it can’t be, can it? If it is… but it can’t be! But it could be! BUT IT COULD BE! And all that did happen, of...

The Watcher: Left in no doubt
http://whoisthewatcher.thisisnottingham.co.uk/2008/06/left-in-no-doubt.html
The News in your area. The Unveiling of the Brian Clough Statue. Saturday, 21 June 2008. Left in no doubt. Well, it was the Doctor-Lite one… but otherwise this was as heavy, bleak and brilliant as anything ever done under the Doctor Who banner. It was almost… ach! Writer Russell T Davies certainly understands that - and what a brilliant, long game he’s playing with the viewers. First the showman’s tricks, the feints, the misdirections;. 8216;This season will be the ‘lighter one’. 8217; And then this.

The Watcher: An awkward silence
http://whoisthewatcher.thisisnottingham.co.uk/2008/06/awkward-silence.html
The News in your area. The Unveiling of the Brian Clough Statue. Saturday, 7 June 2008. Strange news from another world: it appears - and perhaps you’d better sit down - some people didn’t like Silence in the Library. Yes, yes, I know exactly what you’re thinking: the chumps! Actually turning the telly off halfway through the episode. Another confessed to disappointment on discovering there was a part two due - and not as in ‘I just can’t wait another week! 8217;, either. Long-term fans found themselves ...

The Watcher: Time we said goodbye
http://whoisthewatcher.thisisnottingham.co.uk/2008/07/time-we-said-goodbye.html
The News in your area. The Unveiling of the Brian Clough Statue. Saturday, 5 July 2008. Time we said goodbye. 8230;of course, nobody. Thought he was regenerating, did they? Still, that ‘regeneration energy’ business struck Team Watcher as slight swizz, as if Rassilon’s great gift to the Time Lords - a complete cellular remix, but only when strictly necessary - was little more than the recipe for a pick-me-up, like Lucozade. That said, it only registered a 4.4 on the ‘Naaaaaah! But if Rose brought the Doc...

Bad Mutha: Drinking while up the duff, anyone?
http://badmutha.thisisnottingham.co.uk/2009/04/drinking-while-up-duff-anyone.html
The News in your area. Wednesday, 1 April 2009. Drinking while up the duff, anyone? Interesting to read about that pregnant woman who was thrown out of a pub when staff spotted her sipping beer. Caroline Williams, 26, who is 23 weeks pregnant, said she felt "angry and humiliated" after being told to leave the Sussex Cricketer pub in Hove at the weekend. She had drunk one pint of lager already when the manageress refused to serve her friend another half pint, also meant for Caroline. Of their punters to b...

Bad Mutha: The forgotten prezzies of Christmas past...
http://badmutha.thisisnottingham.co.uk/2008/12/forgotten-prezzies-of-christmas-past.html
The News in your area. Thursday, 18 December 2008. The forgotten prezzies of Christmas past. If you're having a major stress-out about trying to buy your kids that "perfect" toy to make their face light up for Christmas, here's a thought. Can you remember what you bought them last Christmas? More to the point, can they remember? Go on, I dare you. Ask them: "What did Santa leave you under the tree last year? I bet you all you'll get is a few blank looks and a possible: " Cadbury's. And neither will you.

Bad Mutha: September 2008
http://badmutha.thisisnottingham.co.uk/2008_09_01_archive.html
The News in your area. Friday, 19 September 2008. Lived with him for four years now and our relationship has hit a desperately rocky phase. Oh, he has his good points. He’s good looking, cool, suave and sophisticated - I’m the envy of many of my friends, in fact. But sometimes his behaviour is so cruel and despicable towards me, the kids, our neighbours - I just can’t bear the torment any more. I think the time has finally come to admit it. I hate my cat. The thing is, DD2, who is 17 months absolutely ad...
