DAILY BLOG REVIEW / by Jennie Rigg

The world is going to hell in a handcart, credit is crunching, Gaza is imploding, and what’s the biggest story on the Blogosphere? The new Doctor Who. The first (and one of the best) of the reactions came from BBC insider Pickwick, but many others followed. Here are the ones that jumped out at me from the clamour: Alex Wilcock, Love and Garbage, Will Howells, Exmoor Cat, NetgirlY2K, Lizbee, Chicken Yoghurt, Baggage Reclaim, Andrew Hickey, Paul Mudie, James Graham, and the sainted GNeil.
