Oh wow I don't think I ever saw the German language version of the Fact Files before. I admit I'd love to see a new version of Fact Files as it finished during Enterprise's run. There's a wealth of new ships and characters it could dive into now, but then I also want a new Encyclopedia too.

I've just noticed that Jacques Villeneuve is still on the team though so I guess we can't have everything...

Another scummy tactic from #YouTube 's Smart TV app. They've now not only started to stop allowing you to block ads, but they've also now put this symbol on the screen. It looks like a skip button right? Nope - it canNOT be clicked. If you try to, it PAUSES the ad.

Are they hoping that their season copies APXGP's tactics from the movie? From double-DNFs to race winners?

I have sang on stage at the Millennium Centre in Cardiff.

(There is a huge caveat to that little statement though)

58. TOCA Race Driver 2 (Codemasters) - PlayStation 2

I did have this on Xboc and PS2 but the PS2 version was better IMO. There felt like a bigger choice of tracks and cars. This game even made it to a former workplace lunchtime challenge between me and a co-worker Kris. Loved this one.

Torchwood fans devastated over iconic Cardiff 'shrine' being removed It's a sad day for Doctor Who fans.

To be fair, it's lasted a while. I don't think we can be too sad that it's going.

Same people too. I really enjoyed it too. I mean as an F1 fan it's nothing to do with the actual motorsport but it's a fun diversion.

I don't have access to the meme creator right now but what would be an acceptable fourth panel in this sequence?

Bashir: Is Starfleet Academy Star Trek?

Garak: Oh it's all Star Trek.

Bashir: Even Section 31?

Garak: .......

Okay so after several recommendations I have gotten myself up to date on the excellent ITV drama Trigger Point, and I have one question.

How is Lana Washington (Vicky McClure) not in a padded cell? The sh*t she's seen!

I bought it too. I remember enjoying it at the time, but I was really into The Matrix at the time. Loved that it tied into the story of The Matrix Reloaded and Final Flight of the Osiris. No idea if it'll stand up today. Path of Neo was dreadful though.

Yeah it felt more like The Matrix than the actual Matrix games (Enter the Matrix, Path of Neo).

57. Max Payne (Rockstar / Remedy) - Xbox

Okay so this one is a bit of a cheat. I'm not normally a PC gamer but I had this on PC and it was better than the console versions. It was atmospheric, amazing... and those blood trail levels will haunt me for the rest of my life!
