I am playing some carols on iTunes, as this is Twelfth Night tonight: decorations must come down, Christmas carols should be put aside tomorrow till next year, etc, etc. But for the moment, carols.

I have also been greatly enjoying (takes breath) . . .

It's the Muppet Doctor Who Special, With Our Very Special Guest Star, Matt Smith!

It's true. All true. It's the most sensational, inspirational, celebrational, Muppetational, this is what we call the Muppet Show . . .

"Oh, no," said Matt Smith.

"What is it?"

"I've seen this before. He's eaten too many Jelly Babies." Matt Smith looked hard into Dr. Teeth's eyes. "It's common in Britain. If you could see the children coming out of the candy shops, hallucinating -- it's really a pressing social problem." He glanced at the empty candy bags scattered about. "Right. We have to find out what we're dealing with." He grasped Dr. Teeth's head in both hands. "Dr. Teeth?" Matt Smith said. "Can you hear me? Did you eat the green ones?"
