The Daily Teaser: 29-5-11

Hmmm …

Now, I don’t know if you saw it, last night, but episode 6 of this series of Dr Who — The Almost People — was one I was rather impressed by.

I’ll say no more than that.

But I’d urge you to go read the relevant post on the other blog I contribute to.

Ooh …

I’m just hoping that my US regular Dr Who readers — Debbi and Sean — don’t read it until next week.

To quote River Song … ?

“Spoilers … !”

I love it when people comment. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?

I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.

Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively adult. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.

Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.

If you can also leave you comments on today’s Teaser Video, that would be good.

Thank you.
