TV

Doctor Who
33x00a Pond Life Part 1
That was... brief. And quite funny, I suppose. It'll be better on DVD when they (presumably) edit it together into one four-and-a-bit-minutes thing rather than daily 50 second bursts.
[Watch it (again) on the official Doctor Who website.]

Lorraine's Fast, Fresh and Easy Food
1x02 Feel Good Food
[Watch it (again) in HD on iPlayer.]

Meat Loaf: Live with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra
More slightly random music viewing thanks to Sky Arts. They really can be a treasure trove.

Person of Interest
1x02 Ghosts
[Watch it (again) on Demand 5.]
