Ok @TheKrynoidMan – I’ll bite.

Really glad you didn’t start with the obvious one(s)!

This though is a bit obvious, and his lyrics are typically overwrought, but it might raise a few brows/smiles as people try to contort Doctor Who and the lyrics from this!*
[Bonus – contains added Johnny Marr]

@Arbutus – enjoyed the absolutely disgusting Watkins Ale (hold on, that sounds wrong…).
However, am I missing something about el Grilos? Now, I’ll admit that I have a mind that loves a pun and innuendo, but I’m a little flummaxed.
And a bit in awe of your professional-level innuendo skillz.

🙂

Though it reminded me of this which, though not…[Read more]

@fatmaninabox – excellent news!

Hopefully you didn’t resist the urge to say:
“ah – I can now see the trees! but where is the wood..?”

oh, you did resist?
I’ll get my coat…

😉

thanks for that Creep.

I mean, thanks for that @Purofilion 😉

I think its fine if a choir swears. In fact, I now want the The Hilliard Ensemble to sing Nick Cave’s profane version of Stagger Lee.

And in terms of Radiohead, I think I’ve been mentioning them quite a bit recently!
Its just that after trying to not listen to them too much, there’s…[Read more]

y’know @Brewski and @FiveFaces , there are some on this forum who’ve been speculating about the likelihood of a musical episode of Doctor Who (as other shows have done, especially Buffy).

And now I think you have it – Doctor Who meets Cabaret.

perhaps as…

“The Cabaret of Doctor Caligari Who”.*

🙂

(* either that or “Springtime for Davros”)

ah – “purple turban woman”?

Can only be Eleanor Bron shooooorrley?

In one of two roles (she does love her purples):

Madame Kara

or even as a Critic (which is possibly more terrifying)

😉

Nice pic of Capaldi and the blackboard @Wolfweed.

Looks like the Doctor’s trying to work out a Timeline top-left, interestingly using Gallifreyan as a tool for working out the loops and events… but looks like he may need a hand from @Bluesqueakpip though…

😉

thanks for that link @Craig – nice article and interesting “immersive storytelling” interface as @DanMartinUK says.

Seems to be similar in terms of approach to what the BBC are doing with their K&L pieces – here’s one for Tolkien and WW1.
But the BBC approach (at least for that article) is less rich in terms of photography and no transparent…[Read more]

@Brewski and @FiveFaces – Nice to hear some bonkers – cheers!

Really like that idea (that the Doctor may have caused the Daleks in some way).

It’d be nice almost as a “I can’t prevent this (thing) happening – its a fixed point”

and then we see him catch sight of another Tardis floating in space also watching the event and we realise he’s been…[Read more]

Well, I watched it.

And its still not as bad as The Black Orchid in that at least there were distractions.

Now, fair enough the distractions were unperilous-peril, and mild arguing and a side-order of ham, but… stuff happened.

That’s not to say that I’ve developed a new sympathy for Colin Baker’s Doctor – the way he treats people is too-often…[Read more]

ha ha! Hi @Purofilion – yep still up thanks!

hmm, songs for lads-on-the-bench-but-should-be-playing.

I’ve nothing that springs to mind! However, that may be as I never made the bench…. oh hold on

Now this is only because it mentions the bench, nothing else.
Oh and also as its an effing excellent…[Read more]

btw – if anyone’s interested….
Guy Garvey the lead singer of beat combo Elbow was on Desert Island Discs this week.

Its a lovely, touching, amusing interview; it doesn’t get too deep, is pretty superficial, but shows his warmth and is quite touching in his obvious love for family and friends.

Also he has a rather wonderful choice in music…[Read more]

ah @purofilion – you may be giving Mr Scruff too much credit.

Then again I may be giving him too little.

Music’s great innit?

🙂

(btw as earworms go “there’s a whale, there’s a whale, there’s a whale-fish she cried and the whale was in full view; whale fish whale fish whale fish…” is as lovely as Diggy Diggy Hole!)

ahhh…. Minecraft. Cheers Fatmaninabox.

Well, its Friday, which means its Fish Friday and that means another silly yet quite groovy fish song.

Some people of a certain age will smile hearing some of the voices in this one!

Hope you’ve all had/having a lovely fish supper*

😉

*unless you’re vegans.

Great posts there @Craig!
And great to see @DanMartinUK too – is that Capaldi shirt a map of the stars??
