[Air-l] Blogging on Dr Who

[Mary-Helen Ward]

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?
