I thought this would be the right place to post.

Just now I watched clips of Peter Capaldi playing  Leonardo da Vinci. And  Machiavelli in “Who’s afraid of Machiavelli.”

Impressive and enjoylable.

Our supermarket used to stock them, but that didn’t last. However, there is a shop not far from us that only sells British sweets and other products from the UK – they stock them. They also stock , Walnut whips, Pontefract Cakes, Sharps toffee, Fox’s Glacier Mints, Murray Mints, Marmite (the good stuff, not made in New Zealand which is…[Read more]

May I add my sentiments about your redundancy, and the hope of a good settlement. what a buzz it must have been to find out that your website ranks 4th. Fan-bloody-tastic!

So at least you know you’re in safe hands here.

As if we didn’t already know this!

@wolfweed;

Nice one, thanks for that.

It always amuses me that when anyone asks another actor or actress, what they think of a female Doctor, all of them say it’s a wondeful idea? What did they expect them to say” It’s a rotten idea?”If that’s what they really think.

Actor’s and actresses are always acting in front of the microphone and camera…[Read more]

@janetteb;

I’ve tasted those biscuits you speak of, and they don’t tast like Jammy Dodgers at all.

Still at least I know where I can get them.

@countscarlioni.

Well spotted, I add my congratulations Clara.

@clarabluebelle:
Perhaps you need a hobby? *big grin*

@bluesqueakpip:
You took the words right out of my mouth.

Missy

@wolfweed;

Saw this on another forum I belong to (NOT Doctor Who) 54 years?

Happy Birthday.

@rorysmith;

Thank you, I’ve not heard of this film, I shall look it up.

Missy

I recently found, by accident, The BAFTA Scotland Awards.

Armando Ianannucci was presented with an award by Peter Capaldi, who had made very funny speech beforehand.

Armando went on to be very funny too. Well worth a watch …if you don’t mind a bit of swearing! *laughs*

@hiker and @michaeljack

Thanks for the links.

Missy

Hmm!  I didn’t know where to post this, there isn’t a radio thread.

I would have mentioned somewhere that I listen to BBC Radio four Extra regularly. Just for a change from crime/horror/supernatural etcetera, I tuned into Documentaries just now and this is what I heard.

Five Meet to Make Up Myths.

The five are, Conan Doyle, R.L Stevenson, Bram…[Read more]

@bluesqueakpip:

It’s such a shame, because it’s one of the funniest clips in the Pilot.

SM mentions that he didn’t include it, because he introduces Bill in the first scene anyway. So Z bit like double dipping – he didn’t day that I did. *(grins*

The Christmas special usually appears on the next series.  Such as Mysterio is on this boxset. One assumes that this years CS will be on series 11. I shall buy it seperately this time.

Friend from the Future I realised was the opening, when Bill asks (under fire) “What’s a Dalek?”

I didn’t know it had a name. This was supposed to be on an…[Read more]

@adrainsmith:

Thank you for that.

Missy

Never even heard of it.

Missy

@wolfweed;

Thanks for that. I shall investigate.

@thane15:

Same here. We had a fridge/freezer and air conditioner, which lasted over 20 years!

I also agree that Murray may need a break, even though I shall miss him.

@hellsingfan01:

As for the the JW outfit? She should audition for the Wiggles.

The word ‘ludicrous’ comes to mind. The new series is getting better and better!

@janetteb:

Yes,…[Read more]

@thane15:

That’s where we differ. If it ain’t broken, no need to fix it. Makes no sense at all.

Like white goods, they still work well, but you fancy a new one, so out they/it goes. Wasteful in my opinion.

MG  also had this uncanny knack  of fitting the music to the actor/actress, at least I thought so.

Of course, MG might have had enough a…[Read more]

@bluesqueakpip:

I must get the CDs  of Murray Gold, I especially enjoy his score for “Heaven Sent.”

Incidentally, the use of one of the melodies from the above in The Doctor Falls, when he’s blowing up the Cybermen I thought a nice touch. Such a beautifully poignant piece.

I’ve no quarrel with any new composer, their music may be just as…[Read more]

Murray Gold has written the music for every series since 2005.

What wonderful music it has been. I wonder if he will write for the coming series?
