Ah, I didn’t clicky on your Olney car show & only now realised my error. Loved the MGBs etc…

@blenkinsopthebrave

I was suggesting we had proper cold weather -but it was barely a day of it. And if it’s 25c during the day it’s summer to me and even 16 degrees  maximum is bikini weather to many tourists.

Since you were last paying…[Read more]

Wait, all you live in America?

Wow

Oh an keep away from those flames! If they get too close grab a few marshmallows!

@blenkinsopthebrave I hope you are safe from fires. Not a problem you would really expect to have to deal with once leaving this sunburnt country. @Winston I hope you are able to stay cool. My experience of living in cold climates is that houses are expertly heated but lack any form of cooling. (We are the opposite, really good at cooling,…[Read more]

@janetteb and @blenkinsopthebrave     I agree with you both about The Eleventh Hour being a terrific episode. It is an introduction to a new  Doctor that is hard to beat.

David had one of his first acting jobs in Dr Who when his father was Doctor, The Enemy of the World) and went on to have a more prominent role in Curse of Peladon as Peladon. He was also in Midnight. (David Tennant) He is a fine actor. His son, Sam Troughton, is also an actor but has yet to make…[Read more]

@craig  Thanks so much for the whole set of interviews with Moffat — I’d not seen the third installment before.  With  Moffat, there’s always something fresh or new — to me, at least.  Always a pleasure.

@thane16  @blenkinsopthebrave  I try to see “Close Encounters” about once every 5 yrs or so; love the optimism, the lack of paranoia and gener…[Read more]
