Update

We're seven hours in- looking good so far. There were tears after an hour, more after two but we're plodding on. Watch this space. The Doctor is pretty pleased- must dash- in for the next few hours again now.

I'm having my own personal session here with Sarah- we're at Episode 9 now...
I hate to be the moaning minny- I mean clearly it's still the best TV around- but this series doesn't have a patch on the others- DESPITE some great plotlines- the writing seems sloppy in comparison to Mr.Sorkin's- the acerbic wit has vanished and the characters (especially Donna, Leo and Bartlett) seem to speak with a different voice now- i know that's a patently obvious and inevitable thing but it means that their characters have changed and that's a bit sad.

For every £100 a month less income than the median you start school one month behind developmentally. Your vocabulary aged 5 is half what it is for a rich kid if you are in the bottom ten percent of income. Housing tenure stats are even worse. "Only 4 per cent of those of working age living in social housing have degrees, and nearly half have no or only low qualifications. Only half of men and 42 per cent of women of working age living in social housing are in paid work, compared with 89 per cent of men and 81 per cent of women in households with a mortgage." Social housing: by its nature, is grouped (london people ignore this, you are the freaks not the norm). That means that we have allowed ghettoes of poverty and low attainment (not just in a SATS way either). Now it would be easy, and some daft Tory has already done it, to pin this on
