Dead Ringers is a BBC Radio 4 program of impressionists. (It's just become a rather less successful, because you can see people not looking like the people they're meant to be, TV show). The highlight of the radio show is strange prank calls from an actor doing an excellent Dr Who (Tom Baker incarnation) impression -- phoning an employment agency and asking for an assistant, for example. The most recent of the calls to be put up on their website is http://www.bbc.co.uk/cult/doctorwho/death/brief_history/tom_clip.shtml a phone call to Tom Baker himself, who winds up having much more fun than the impersonator...

Lots of people asking if it's true that Miyazaki's next film is going to be Diana Wynne Jones's Howl's Moving Castle. And it is.
