No, the American one I posted was a more recent trailer/teaser. But I have faith in your archival skills to locate it…

@pedant

Interesting, I didn’t realise youtube was region-locked. Afraid I cannot resolve it, as my computer skills are practically zero.

The difference between the two trailers is striking as, unlike the BBC trailer, the American trailer lacks the range of characters and the dialogue (particularly so with regard to the nuns) and just  focuses…[Read more]

Our electoral system may be ‘broken’, but how many times do Leave have to win under the rules in force?

We’re now looking at an absolute majority for 2016, a majority for parties who promised Brexit in their manifestos in 2017, the Brexit Party the largest single party in the European elections and now a pro-Brexit party as the largest…[Read more]

I am sure you are right (I have less than fond memories of the Maoist faction in student politics during my undergraduate days in the late 70s) but I was also wondering (and I ask this as an outsider) if that is more of a London issue rather than, say, a northern issue? I noticed, for example, that some of the seats in the North…[Read more]

Thank you @missy,@thane16, @whisht, @pedant, @blenkinsopthebrave, @miapatrick. And to Missy, yes, one compartmentalises as best one can and does what one must and you have my deepest sympathy. One clings on to good things, and this place is a Good Thing and I will come here whenever I can even if I can’t muster bonkers theories about Who, because…[Read more]

Awful. I was listening to her literally 3 days ago on Sunday night. Checking out my CDs & bits & bobs.

triffic voice.  It Must Have Been Love also rocketed them up with Christmas For The Broken Hearted.

@whisht  Ah! Yes, this one I know -not the song, though so thanks for that. I heard Kramer was jailed for dealing but ended up p…[Read more]

@pedant – with the train video I had thought “hm, that’s niche, you’ve found a trainspotters’ video of regional trains…” then I watched and listened!

;¬)

Nice.

@thane16 syzygy – Midnight Oil – they’re a good reminder of how a musician realised that he could make more impact as a politician. Not sure if he did, but respect to him that he…[Read more]

@pedant. Thank you kindly!

By Grandma’s Hammer!

Senior Syzygy here. Oh, am I a “senior” now, @pedant!

*Beaming*

Promised violence of the Christmas kind.

Followed by something different.

Syzygy.

That is utterly wonderful. The highlight of my week.

@pedant that is just what I was looking for last night. I do love the theme music.  Delia Derbyshire was indeed ahead of her time and her realisation of the music is inspired. Ron Grainer also deserves credit for composing it. I am always impressed at how well the music loans itself to new interpretations.

Cheers

@Winston @pedant and anyone with approaching or passing winter colds.

For anyone feeling under the weather with partners very unwell including Mr @missy.

I had a tear for Miller & James (sounds like a sketch act which both may’ve loved).

@whisht good to see you back on the music boards! Don’t leave them -you make these boards hum & tingle -all…[Read more]

@pedant

It’s bowel streak, a vile misogynistic little shitweasel and noted Angry Virgin. and we are more than familiar with his vile spewings – and you would be too if you ever paid any attention to what people actually said, rather than just getting stampy-footed when people pointed out how gratuitously offensive you are being.

Don’t post that…[Read more]

@pedant  Is it pathetic to be so excited for a trailer?  Probably, but I still am!

Thanks and happy Doctor Who Day.
