There has always been music.
In the 1990s in Britain, there was "Britpop" a rather lame description for a whole bunch of bands that normally wouldn't get signed and promoted, being as they were, talented.
You know, they could write songs and play instruments. Most of them weren't perfect singers, but then who is?
Amongst all of this wonder was a group of cheeky lasses (and a brother) from the North East city of Sunderland, who called themselves Kenickie after character from Grease. They had modest album success before splitting, leaving lead singer Lauren Lavern to begin a career in broadcasting.
Which brings us to Doctor Who. And Den of Geek, who this week have used advanced (contrived) arithmetic in order to predict the identity of the new Doctor Who.
This ridiculous waste of time, posing as journalism and entertainment actually only works if you don't find Lauren Lavern to be smug and irritating. At best she is vaguely attractive while possessing some Fraggle-like expressions. At worst she is annoying.
One week into the whole Eleventh Doctor speculation and it's crap like that getting read that gives the whole process and Doctor Who a bad name.
(I won't launch into a rant about how Doctor Who fansites should be picked up by Google News instead of crap like Den of Geek. That's for another day.)
So please, BBC, put us out of our miseries and just tell us who it is.
