Amusingly, the web filter at work won't let me look at the Wikipedia article for the Thirtieth Roman Legion, which I wanted to quote from. No idea why. |

The Magic Baby Jake thing on CBeebies is terrifying. Then again, I have a phobia of photographed faces/heads on animated (particularly undersized animated) bodies. |

No - we only have Freeview, and get very few of those channels due to the location. Which is one of the reasons we have a huge DVD collection. Your quote marked little boy and little girl sound sinister! |

It should be very easy to control, quadcopters basically fly themselves, all you should need to do is tell it where to go. I suspect the weak link here is either the fact that the controller is an iPhone or it's you.

I suspect the weak link here is either the fact that the controller is an iPhone or it's you. It's the "telling it where to go" bit that's difficult. I instinctively look at the copter rather than at the video feed to the screen. As a result, telling the copter to go forwards moves it in an unintended direction, as forwards for me means "away from me", whereas the copter is pointing towards me. Also, I have now read in the manual that I need to set the "flat trim" option when it's landed so that it can stabilise itself. Now all I need to do is work out how to strap my helmet camera to it to get some quality 1080p footage! |

Heh, I had no idea he had any links to Doctor Who, etc. thought he was some new, young writer! That said, he's clearly been sitting on his current series for a while as he's releasing the third book in under a year soon! |

I'd imagine he's now in his late 40's. He brought back the Brigadier in Battlefield, then wanted to kill him off. Nicholas Courtney actually agreed to this but Aaronovitch changed his mind quite late on as he thought it would be like killing Santa and would overshadow everything else. Some of the stories he and script editor Andrew Cartmel had planned for 1990 would have been amazing. |
