Whodunnit?!

I'm a bit behind on my TV programmes at the moment. You know how it is - you record something, then the following week you realise you haven't watched the previous episode and before you know it, you have half the series on tape (or hard disk). And so it was that I came to watch the last two episodes of Heroes Season 4, taped of the BBC about 6 weeks ago.

Was Samuel set to destroy the world? Could Sylar really change and become a nice bloke instead of a mass-murdering super-baddie? Was Clare's holding-hands-and-smiling relationship with her female room-mate going to go anywhere? What about Mr Muggles?!

So I hit play. Snooker. No problems, I set the recorder a couple of minutes early. Jump forward a bit. 5 minutes. 10 minutes. Still snooker. It's OK though - the recorder automatically adds 10 minutes to the end of all my recordings. A few jump-forwards later and the awful realisation hit. I'm not going to get the end of the last episode, am I? Damn.

A fair bit of jumping forward later and the penultimate episode started. We managed about 40 minutes before the recording ended. So... no end (although I think we can guess - Samuel is going to try and take over the world with the help of the rest of his carnival of "specials"). And no final episode.

i-Player! Thank god for i-Player!! Nope - too long after the episode was on TV. Searched the web and found an American site with the episode. Turns out you can't watch it if you are not in America. Cumbria doesn't really count, does it?

Lessons learnt - try and keep up to date with programmes on the TV. At least you then stand a chance of seeing it on i-Player. Don't tape so much - when you've got 70 programmes recorded and not enough space to tape any more, you know you're watching too much.

What about Hiro?! Does he beat his brain-tumour?! And Mr Bennet?!! Does he get it on with the hot (and shot) former colleague?!! Do Sylar and Peter break down the wall and get there in time??!!!

AAAAAARRRGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

Malaysian Grand Prix - Vettel hot, but not bothered

By
Malaysia. It's always hot, and it always rains. Except the 2nd part is no longer true (unless you count the drizzly bit around lap 14). Saturday's qualifying session had highlighted the fact that Red Bull and McLaren seemed well matched on pace, but also that Ferrari were struggling. Whilst Vettel bagged another pole, followed by Hamilton, Webber and Button, Alonso was only 5th, and Massa 7th, with Nick Heidfeld an excellent 6th on the grid between the two red cars. At this point, I would like to break momentarily for a small rant: How many times do I have to say Heidfeld is good? Why wasn't he given a top drive years ago? WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?! ARE YOU BLIND!!!?? Ahem. The Hispanias somehow managed to a) turn up b) remember to bring cars c) get both of them on the track d) actually get both of them within 107%. Pretty remarkable really. Oh, and it didn't rain. Race day looked a more likely candidate for a drop of the wet stuff. The start was exciting, with

Senna bags Willy drive?

By
The great thing about F1 rumours is that they change every 5 minutes. Just last week it was looking like Barrichello might be back in at Williams, as new engines, tech staff and a general reshuffle would mean they needed someone who actually knew what they were doing in an F1 car. Which rules out Maldonado, obviously. Now it looks like Senna might be about to get a seat with the team where his Uncle lost his life. I'm sure Bruno's mum must be delighted. I don't hold with all this superstitious mumbo-jumbo though, and with the extraordinary level of safety in modern F1 cars, Bruno should be pretty safe. There is one significant problem with Williams signing him though - and this is going to be a bit unpopular I suspect - Bruno isn't very good. Yes, he put in a couple of reasonable performances with Renault, but Nick Heidfeld (ah... Nick and his lovely beard...) would have been able to do likewise, has he not been dropped. And then they dropped Senna too. Thi
