Mark Evanier hints that the 1979 "Plastic Man Comedy Adventure Show," on which he worked, is finally DVD-bound. I have dim recollections of the series, myself. But I know Plastic Man fans ("plastic fans'?) will want to know...

The BBC reports on "Who Goes There," a new book at looks at all the places in Britain where Doctor Who episodes have been filmed.
[Author Nick] Griffiths got the idea for the book after watching old episodes of Doctor Who starring Tom Baker and Jon Pertwee and noticing the strange qualities of some of the locations.
"There was an old railway station in an episode I was watching and I suddenly thought 'I'd really like to go there, that looks really strange and unusual'," he said.
"I had a quite a lot of fun trying to find the place anyway and when I got there it was fantastic being able to stand in the spot where the Doctor had stood."
You can see some of the locations here.

The Evening Standard reviews "Telstar" a new bio pic about eccentric British record producer Joe Meek.
Meek was a sonic pioneer who couldn’t play a note, with a loopy belief in spiritualism and the business sense of a plank.
He created the titular hit Telstar but passed on The Beatles, wasted his heart and savings on a dim-bulb singer called Heinz, and killed himself after shooting his landlady in 1967.

The New York Times reviews Donald Spoto's third book about Alfred Hitchcock, "Spellbound by Beauty: Alfred Hitchcock and His Leading Ladies."
Other, better Hitchcock aficionados — most notably François Truffaut in his book-length conversation with his fellow auteur — have already paid considerable attention to the most flagrant kinkiness in the Hitchcock canon. No single performance in any of his films has been more heavily analyzed than Kim Novak’s in “Vertigo.” Still, Mr. Spoto has enjoyed extraordinary access to Hitchcock’s players over a long period of time, and he has assembled a cavalcade of chatty firsthand impressions.

Geppi's Entertainment Museum, a Baltimore showcase for pop culture artifacts from comic books, movies and cartoons, etc., is in a spot of financial trouble.
The museum, founded by Stephen A. Geppi, CEO of Diamond Comic Distributors Inc. in Timonium and publisher of Baltimore Magazine, accrued approximately $622,500 in unpaid rent to the Maryland Stadium Authority as of Oct. 6. The museum also owed more than $77,000 in late fees and unpaid electricity bills that have accumulated since February 2007, according to accounting documents from the authority.

We can all rest easy now, Paul McCartney's head has been relocated.
The waxwork head of Paul McCartney has been found at Reading train station by a tramp, who has since been rewarded for handing over the bizarre object.
The head belongs to a waxwork of The Beatles star, which was previously on display at the Louis Tussauds Museum in Great Yarmouth, and the owner Joby Carter left it on a train last week.
"Tramp"? Apparently political correctness hasn't quite caught on with the Brits...
