Highlights of this weekend's TV from the BBC.

Saturday, 7pm: Moby Dickson of Dock Green
Villagers in the sleepy hamlet of Dock Green are astonished to discover their new village bobby is a 50-foot sperm whale. Meanwhile, PC Morris investigates the disappearence of 742 metric tonnes of krill from the fishmonger, and gossips are wondering who is the mysterious one-legged, scarred stranger with a harpoon staying at the Kings Head? (Last in series).

Saturday, 10pm: Tokyo Schoolgirl Ninja vs Vampire Assassin in the land of ice!
Part of the BBC's Manga season. Adorable, klutzy Sayuki is an ordinary schoolgirl until the day she meets Prince Nigel and learns she is a magical chosen one who must save the world from the evil Lord Gogomori.
If you're a lonely teenager or a hugely overweight man for whom clean underwear is an optional extra when watching TV, you'll love Tokyo Schoolgirl Ninja vs Vampire Assassin in the land of ice!

Sunday, 10pm: Wogan's Run
When the BBC decide Terry Wogan is too old to present the Eurovision Song Contest, Sandman Graham Norton is sent to kill him. Contains scenes of explicit violence.

Wogan's Run would be completely worth a 6% rise in my TV license fee.

I definitely pay good money to see that one.

Wogan's Run, indeed.

I think I may be developing an Internet Crush on you.

Don't worry, experience shows that can be instantly cured by meeting me in person.

...especially if one is a lady attending the Chap Olympics, I believe.

That's in a couple of weeks. I'm in serious leer-training in order to defend my title.

How time flies. Drat, I swore I was going to be in the UK for the next one. I hope you'll be blogging about the training regime.

Hang on a minute

You get Terry Wogan in Australia?

We're still The Colonies, you know. Blighty still exports television to us as well as hordes of inebriated backpackers.

And Eurovision is an infinitely duller place without him. We were all getting quite mopey this year over the fact that we weren't going to get to hear what he had to say about that Cullenesque Norwegian kid.

Good grief. Then again, you sent us Kylie and Jason, so turnabout is fair play.

There are moments, early in the morning when conspiracy-thoughts crowd the insomniac brain, that I suspect that Australia was only colonised by Britain in the first place with the plan in mind to turn it into a soapie production factory thinly disguised as a country.
