Magic.
@spinkysmama.bsky.social I have seen TV news that makes me sad for Jim. I had hoped she'd see the Trinity at the end of 72.
Ooh, it might be. Time Rotor is such a weird fan authenticity thing filtering into the show when the Hartnell years are "control column"ing along like billy-o, week after week.
Ben Miles is currently appearing at the Billinge Alhambra in his acclaimed one-man show "What do Spandau Ballet look like now?"
It's probably not there then. My trace questionable memory is of describing the lab and the moving chairs with a not like Who/Blake aside.
I think the Faber published text of Cold Lazarus has an explicit 'not like Who' (or possibly Blake's 7) stage direction. I'll have a look on Monday.
The other glory of "blossomest blossom" for a Who fan is its happy echo of "the daisiest daisy".
2, "Roundel": All over scripts and extended media but only Stephen Gallagher dares use it on screen, 3 times in one scene (this is an important and exciting Turlough arc scene so Eric Saward may have come in here).
#WhoBore TV Doctor Who writers' particular idioms- possibly part of an irregular and ongoing series of half-baked observations, when I'm bored and remember. 1, Talking about "the fair sex": Robert Holmes, and Robert Holmes only.
International Play "I Feel Love" on Two Shows in a Row Day on 6Music.
The pull out quote for me is "There’s more profit in noticing the ways in which we’re different than there is in noticing the ways in which we’re similar."
Christy Nolan had let them down just one time too often.
Is that because of how long it now takes you to manage a kick and recover afterwards?
Sadly, they ran out of Latin for new episode titles.
I thought you might have been referring to some long shots on film in the Letts' version where it's said Trevor Peacock isn't being Quilp yet (never seen it). It's the Kyd illustration I blame, that's clearly why Troughton gets the gig.
Have you seen that weird YTV all star Dickensian thingummy? Pat does his Quilp in that.
How did you feel about the way ITV approached that in the Toby Jones version? I thought it really worked.
The cartoony hat Q needs a pair of wicked eyes with bushy eyebrows. They've not been paying enough attention to those Scrooge and Oliver! posters.

Contains jokes. Many of them are excellent.
And... being a bit silly on Bluesky, that too.
Of course, there are! It's the number one route to becoming a creative seeker of knowledge and to exploring our pasts.
And, if you need West Midlands accents for your prehistoric Earth Reptiles, give me a call.
Silurians vs. Krynoids @bigfinish.bsky.social. Writes itself.
Naturally, the second "copyright" should have been property. I wrote the above in a rush in a break from work. I am however glad I wrote it myself rather than giving the job of thinking and expressing my views over to an approximation device that can't understand nuance and can only offer pastiche.
Bloody hell. I am sold. I am so sold!
The comedies are excellent for identifying English teachers in the audience who've read the Arden footnotes and don't need elaborate actorly mimes to spot all the knob gags.
Lear's the daddy.
Hamlet's alright but only if you play the "this line's the title of something else" drinking game.
Troilus and Cressida is the worst reinterpretation of the character 'Just Vicki' since someone decided her surname was Pallister.
The House of Lords Digital & Communications Committee just published their report on AI, copyright & the creative industries, and their conclusions could not be clearer.
