Big Bad Wolf

A running motif through the new Doctor Who series has been references to "Bad Wolf". The Beeb’s even set up a web site devoted to this great piece of viral marketing. It’s no use asking me – I haven’t a clue. All I can say is that Russell T. Davies had better reveal all this coming Saturday, or he’s going to be hunted down by angry fans…

He and his team have done a great job at re-inventing a classic series. Kudos!

And what’s that all about at the end of the disclaimer on the Bad Wolf site:

If you’re concerned by the thought that the universe has been irrevocably altered by an enormous experiment in neuro-linguistic programming, then just tell yourself "The Bad Wolf is not real. The Bad Wolf is not real. The Bad Wolf is not real."

Hmm, what’s the old spell – first revealed in the Hunting of the Snark by the Bellman: "What I tell you three times is true".  For the Snark was a Boojum, you see.
