Amazing. I loved the “erm, the bit with the headphones? but not the bit with the noise?”

Gorgeous. Also everyone & I mean everyone was saying they wanted Phoebe to be the next female Doctor? I had no idea who she was! Her name was distinct, though, which is why I’ve remembered it.

Oh yep @pedant Tennant did 500 miles…[Read more]

@Winston @JanetteB and youse all 🙂 @Blenkinsopthebrave the “youse” is for youse. 😉

We had kids around from 4 pm but by 6 pm when it’s still light, they’d gone. I normally do have choccies but forgot about them. Thane asked his mates (most drive) if they could go out by they were without spirit as well & thought as they’re 18 a bunch of tall…[Read more]

Beaut, just beaut. Boy, one thing to say (I’m never ever nit-picky!) but if she’d drop her chin on the high notes, her palate would open up & it would open up the head voice. Small thing. But I’m saying it anyway. Anywaaay.

She has a gorgeous voice, she’s a beautifully sensitive person. How do I say this? She comes across as a…[Read more]

@mudlark @pedant and @winston this is a SPOILER so please look the other way.

Dickens was an extraordinary perfectionist, and a man of the people. On many occasions he would repeat, “I had at one point many stories I could tell, but, here & now, this is the only story I feel I can tell.”

He was repetitive at times & acknowledged a level of…[Read more]

Fair point about “the problem” Buffy satirised.  I think satirical is the correct word, for this. Or would it be irony?

Mum & I were talking about this yesterday. Dracula, as written, was old, corrupt, skin like paper, with bad breath. Nothing sexy about the dood. In Buffy (Winston, spoilers ahead*****) Drac was old,…[Read more]

@pedant bummer. I didn’t do scrabble with the PnTTBg thing. 🙁

OK, I’ve just recognised writing in French when a soon to be Scoobie is in Canada is kinda redondante.

@pedant agreed.

@pedant @mudlark.  The other soon to be scoobie (OK, Winston) look away 😀

I never listened, 2 years ago, to this particular TPN guide. Only at about the 5:44 mark did I latch on to that dude from above. The echoes are brilliant. And this may make you yell with frustration but I think this is the best of the Season openers closely followed by…[Read more]

@Winston I’m doing this now too  LOOK AWAY NOW! (One exclamation mark must do). It rhymes!

@pedant @mudlark

then there’s this.

@pedant

Got it!

@mudlark

Oh no. No. No. The Buffy Dracula was DELIBERATE. It was supposed to be almost laughable.

@pedant Now, w/o a brain *don’t read this Winston spoilers might be ahead.

So, pedant. you said something about the erm, ahem, most unsolved mystery in the world (possibly).

OK, so a) who are the brin***s or the Fir**? No, not that.

b) why does one vampire have a hint/sniff of hu*an*ty & the others not? See Ame*** in …..  I think this is it…[Read more]

David Arnold and Price have scored the series. Their use of violins & violas, used in Sherlock to great effect, can be heard in the teaser above.

Syzygy the Elder.

@pedant @blenkinsopthebrave  “they are coming.”

Whoa!! I hope we end up accessing both….sounds good

@pedant er what?

Yes, we know St Pancras & people are in a hurry. The roof is spectacular!  You’d think a few more people might pause. Everyone is going too fast everywhere all the time. I think.

Syzygy (Thane16) and mum.

@bluesqueakpip

It’s your narrative always. Your opinion, naturally, & we all respect that, obviously,  but Whedon, in response to questions about watching Buffy says, “absolutely try to watch it in order. That’s my thing. You don’t obviously have to….But I used to say “watch it in order if only to see that actually it gets better, at least…[Read more]

@JanetteB

erm, erm, what, what? WHAT???

I have been trying for a very long time to locate The Getting of Wisdom. The book is good but I’m mentioning the film as it seemed to make more of an impact? It’s not that great a film. The music, (an improvisation) the young & arrogant talented but nasty little pianist plays is totally sh** but….OK.…[Read more]

@Winston @pedant

My advice is “please don’t watch seasons 1-5 after season 6.” Seriously. I think Thane said the same -& typing for me yesterday.

I disagree that it’s a “jump -in” point @bluesqueakpip. And yes, SMG is on the cover of a show in which she stars/starred. Hell, Season 7 let out covers of Leo in The West Wing years ago when they…[Read more]

unless you have watched seasons 1 to 5 already? And there’s 7 but it really needs 6 to go with….  (Thane16)
