He's a good singer too.

Search YouTube for John Barrowman and "The Doctor and I", it's a modified version of "The Wizard and I" from the musical Wicked.

Not quite, it must do some work to figure out stuff like tables, but it might be worth some experimentation, curious to see how well the web works in it.

It was... some versions ago. Even a really limited demo was kicking out a single digit FPS count on my machine.

He was a singer before he was Captain Jack Harkness, and quite well known for it too...

Jeeves and Wooster is a good adaptation of the P.G. Wodehouse tales, of the valet who inspired Ask.com. Worth a watch but it is period drama set in the 1920s or so.

No, it's essentially a custom browser that chooses not to render most of the layout.

I dislike the notion that users access my site in a way other that which I as an admin intend. That said, if I had a large number of mobile users, I'd consider it.

I go away to another forum for five minutes...

Well, maybe more than five... But you get the point!

Limited ain't the word, I've seen it on Chrome, and it is painful, very painful.

Fry is supposed to be an obnoxious character in Blackadder, just as he is the consummate professional valet in Jeeves and Wooster (alongside Hugh Laurie as Wooster)

People are just there for the fun of it, not to win... It's like a family game night, where you learn stuff.
That's the joy of it, they're there to be amused/amusing, not for prizes - most of them don't need anything in the way of prizes as most of them are already gainfully employed in the various celebrity professions anyway. Radcliffe for example really doesn't need the money.

The real reason it stays funny is because Fry and Davies are very good comedians and play off each other brilliantly, and because it's an ever changing mix of people, there's always a mix of imagination and humour to work with. I sometimes wonder if they had a drink before starting the show, too...
