		<description><![CDATA[Just finished watching a documentary about Stonehenge, featuring a recent excavation whose team leaders think the stones were 'a prehistoric Lourdes'. I disliked it on two points. First, BBC documentaries are in a dire state. Secondly, Stonehenge has not been well-served by the grand claims made for it on the scantiest evidence.

BBC documentaries have been flailing for years, popularising various topics in exactly the wrong way. They have an uncanny ability to dumb-down and talk-up. The venerable Horizon strand, which started a new series today with a documentary about those silent Wiltshire stones, has long since lost its authority.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been looking forward to getting my hands on the UK iPhone since Steve Jobs&#8217;s keynote back in January. The announcement today couldn&#8217;t have come soon enough. Now the day is almost over, I have reflected a little on this ace new gadget.
Despite being a huge fan, I think Apple has made some fundamental mistakes [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m amazed at the energy people put in to questioning the authorship of the plays we refer to as Shakespeare&#8217;s. Today, in an article on the front page of BBC news, a group called the Shakespeare Authorship Coalition (which includes Sir Derek Jacobi and Mark Rylance) has whipped up some publicity for their concerns over [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Watching the re-runs of ITV&#8217;s The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, I have become mesmerised by Jeremy Brett&#8217;s portrayal of Arthur Conan Doyle&#8217;s misanthropic detective. Originally made between 1984-1994, the Granada Television productions have impressive scripts, sets and casts. The attention to period detail and the specially-built Baker Street at Granada Studios, made this a classy [...]]]></description>
