Stephen Fry Is Switching Off

Writer and broadcaster Stephen Fry said he is "switching off his connections with the outside world" to concentrate on his autobiography.

The QI host, who is one of the most popular celebrities on Twitter, said he had to deliver the second volume of his life story to publishers by April.

"Some people can write with ease in whatever circumstances they find themselves," he wrote on his website.

"I need peace, absolute peace, an empty diary and zero distraction."

He continued: "I have a single appointment in London towards the end of January and another in Barcelona a month or so later. Otherwise I shall be as one wiped from the map of human existence. This is how it must be.

"All this is a way of saying, of course, that my Twitter stream will dry up for that period."

New Year's Day Viewing

Doctor Who, starring David Tennant, was watched by 10.4m viewers on New Year's Day, according to unofficial overnight figures.

At the climax of the episode, a total of 10.6m tuned in to see the Time Lord regenerate into his 11th incarnation, 27-year-old actor Matt Smith.

The 75-minute episode ended with the Tardis in flames, plummeting towards Earth - setting up Smith's first full episode, due later this year.

It was the highest-rated programme in its time-slot. ITV1's Coronation Street took second place, with 8.6m viewers.

However, both had lower ratings than the day's second episode of EastEnders, which attracted an audience of 11.6m at 19:45.
