@blenkinsopthebrave      The wild west coast is certainly beautiful but it is a rain forest so….Anyway yesterdays storm knocked off a couple of my daughters roof shingles but that was the worst that happened. I always told my kids during bad storms to be prepared and not scared and so she was and wasn’t.

We are expecting our first snow next…[Read more]

@blenkinsopthebrave   Thanks for that. It looks like another fun adventure with Wallace and Gromit ! Too bad I will have to wait till it comes out on Dvd but I don’t have Netflix. I do love those movies as well as Shaun the Sheep.

I hope the big storm is not too bad in your area.My daughter ,on the islands west coast got hit hard and has just g…[Read more]

@blenkinsopthebrave That is truely terrifying. I can’t wait.

@blenkinsopthebrave I do like Wallace and Gromit. The original three films have a lot of happy associations for me, good times at work, (few and far between) old friends and of course the boys when they were young. Our eldest was given a Wallace soft toy for his second birthday and he loved that toy so much.  Still have it of course. It was later…[Read more]

@dentarthurdent  @blenkinsopthebrave     I remember watching Star Trek as a kid and they ended up at the OK Corral  but as the cowboys against Earp and Holiday . I was confused for a few years as to who were the bad guys, I mean it couldn’t be Kirk and the crew. It is funny how many shows do a western.

stay safe

Web of Fear… I remember watching this. Rather liked The Yetis as a nipper. All the critters from this era made a big impression. I suppose identifiable mooks are good for kids.

The pictures of Jasper are horrific. When the UK had its record breaking day (40 degrees) 2 years ago about a 1/4 of a village called W…[Read more]

@blenkinsopthebrave just reread your previous post about selling it to the yanks your probably right unless Who was totally changed to being totally Americanised  with a big American stars and becomes something akin to say Babylon 5 ( which I was a massive  fan of btw) but it wouldn’t be Who. Who has always had a quintessential British feel and…[Read more]

@blenkinsopthebrave     Wow!  It has a great cast and an exciting premise. I will definitely check it out. thanks for the news.

stay safe

@janetteb   We have no fires yet here in Ontario although the heat has been stifling and expected to be worse next week. Where I am the we have had a lot of rain even causing flooding in some areas but it is helping prevent fires. All that water means so many bitey bugs they drive me inside.

In western Canada it is very hot and dry in some p…[Read more]

What pleases the Whoheads is probably not going to please a new audience across the pond, whoever the paymaster is.

Having said that there are hints Boom, 73 Yards, Dot and Bubble, and Rogue had a better reception. Which you would expect. Did that translate into numbers. Is Russ trying to gauge what might…[Read more]

I think San Diego ComicCon is soon, so it may be that the Who-ST tie in is related to that.

I guess you need a certain level of self-confidence to showrun a major show. I guess the trick is to make sure it doesn’t go to your head.

As Dickie Attenborough once said: “The day you believe your own publicity, you’re dead”.

@blenkinsopthebrave

You say bonkers…

Sunday, Monday, Mardi/Matedi/Martes… surely no coincidence. This is about the show under attack from the corporation.

Saturday is named for Saturn, the Roman god of time, generation, dissolution, abundance, and periodic renewal. But there are also associations with Saetere a German deity possibly related to……[Read more]

@blenkinsopthebrave

Well… is that good art? For any reason? If the fans keep making noise we’ll keep getting this nonsense.

In any case, Russ can never say ‘yes, that’s what it is. You’re absolutely right,’ before the reveal. Or there would be no reveal.

Is this the real divide with those who sporadically want to forget continuity and reduce…[Read more]

@blenkinsopthebrave @dentarthurdent @mudlark @nerys @ craig

Well, in current circumstances, and particularly after the 1999 reform, discussion of tHoL is a bit like turning your lounger so you can better admire D-28.

But… is a bicameral system needed or are they all based on the model of tHoL?

What would I like? More effective checks and b…[Read more]

What do we have?

Starmer’s government seem to acknowledge the limitations of their mandate, which is awfully humble of them. But they already sound a bit like a man trying to get out of a straight jacket. This hole is not going to be scaled by some Johnsonesque wheeze or flim f…[Read more]

Many thanks  @whohar  @winston  @blenkinsopthebrave  @janetteB  for the good wishes.  The polling station for my area is only 15 minutes walk from where I live and is on my route into the city centre, so I voted on my way to do my weekly food shopping, Voting seemed pretty brisk for mid afternoon, with a steady stream of people coming in, but e…[Read more]
