Oversight Of The Week
We originally screen-grabbed this image from Lost Girl for an entirely different award (feel free to make your own suggestions), but then we noticed something a bit odd. What the hell does, “A SHORT TITLE” mean in the DOG (Digital On-screen Graphic, or Distracting On-screen Guff as they’re better known)? It’s there throughout almost the entire episode, only vanishing in the final act. The it dawned on us: it’s a bit of guide text that’s somebody’s forgotten to change to something relevant… Good job they didn’t use “Type some sh*t in here”.
Enemy Of The Week
Fern Britton – definitely not a sci-fi fan. Appearing on panel show Room 101 she tried to put science fiction into the hate room, but failed miserably, mainly because her arguments were banal. “It’s not real,” she moaned, to which host Frank Skinner pointed out that the word “fiction” suggested as much. Britton said she’d tried to watch Star Wars three times, but, “I’ve never got past the first 12 minutes as I’ve always fallen asleep,” and called Doctor Who , “dreary.” When she complained, “[science fiction] is always set in the future”, fellow guest Robert Webb pointed out that Star Wars was set “a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away”, to which her witty response was to call him “nerd”. The irony of the fact that she was appearing on a show named after one of the most famous science fiction novels ever completely escaped her. Because she is clearly very, very stupid. As Skinner pointed out sarcastically, “the problem with Star Wars is that there’s quite a lot of reading at the beginning.”

Topical Gag Of The Week
