It's not just the Boys from Brazil scenario that concerns them. The prospect of subspecies - something like H. G. Wells's Morlocks - being churned out to do the dirty work, act ...

Welcome To The Gabbattoir

STEVE Harmison can't find the pitch, Matthew Hoggard can't find his swing and James Anderson can't find the ball, given that it keeps disappearing into the stands. And it would seem their top order isn't much better. That, in a nutshell, has been the problem with England this tour. And short of Tony Blair rushing through radical stem-cell legislation in the next few days, allowing England to clone the mercurial Andrew Flintoff, there seems no obvious solution to the tourists' bowling troubles, ...

Family Tension Is Timeless

LIKE the good folks of Outback House (Sunday, 7.30pm, ABC), I will soon be without TV for three months as I am heading off overseas armed only with DVDs of Alias. While Alias pretends to be about the succession of amazing wigs and stunts, what it's really about is family life, 21st century style.

At the end of the second season Sydney realised her housemate was an evil clone and fought her ...
