Congratulations on the impending fatherhood Rarg. I think gracious retiring comes with the territory, zombies or not. Spend as much time in bed as you can, while you can, eh? (That wasn’t meant to be rude. I can’t really remember any of that stuff.)

Am no longer interested in the ‘Dr? Who? question, as Susie’s suggestion above is so good everything else will be a let down.

I missed the first few of Dead Set, sadly, so am waiting to be zombified all in a lump whenever it hits C4 or dvd or something. I confess zombies are not really my thing (and pregnant zombie wife so isn’t helping there: EEEEEEEEEK!), but for Senor Brooker I shall at least try not to be a pathetic girly. If graciously retiring is good enough for Mrs Rarg, it’s good enough for me.

Personally, I’m opting for Andy Nyman, who played monstrous producer Patrick in Charlie Brooker’s excellent gore-fest Dead Set this week. For sweary examples (probably not safe for your place of f*cking work, yeah?) of why I think he’d make an excellent sarky Doctor: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=dBfIqtAlcCM

We watched 2 episodes of Dead Set before Mrs Rarg retired, claiming ‘freaking out’. Which would be fine, but then we both later discovered that I too was prone to freakage by hissing at me as I was descending the stairs (lights off) in walking dead-like fashion. I’m told that whirling round in a combat stance ready to fight off the possibility of my pregnant zombie wife is not a good marriage tactic.

I then watched the remaining three episodes and had great difficulty summoning up the courage to go to the loo at 4am.
