This is interesting. First I'd like to comment that Dr Who is popular with the middle-aged too - we remember all the incarnations of The Doctor since Sylvester McCoy - and our children in their 30s, who watched it when they were at primary school and the Drs were Tom Baker and Peter Davidson, also love the new series. :) The comment you report implies that blogging is a kind of sideline to life, also that it's what people do when they 'should' be doing something else. But I guess it's a reference to the more 'personal journal' genre of blogging that teens might be expected to engage with, rather than the reviewing or current affairs genres that seem to rule the Technorati-type Top Ten listings. I'm not sure that the screenwriter really understands blogging though. Would that be the first mention of blogging in UK prime-time TV? M-H On 17/06/2007, at 3:32 PM, Derek McMillan wrote: <snip>
On Dr Who last night (British TV series popular with teens) two characters were flirting and talking off-topic while the Doctor was trying to save the universe as ever - he turned around and said "and look at you two - blogging."
