Saturday Sublimation
Well, so far the weekend has been a damp squib. Rained in the morning and a musty misty dank afternoon.
Most of the day has been spent either listening to BBC Radio 3, playing some CDs and reading books and articles and any combination of them. I did watch a strange Scandinavian film called "Venus" via Prime as well.
Beyond that, I have been going methodically through old classic Doctor Who series via Britbix. I have done all the available ones right up to the Peter Davidson incarnation. The one which they had to use some animation due to a TV employee strike was Shada written by the one and only Douglas Adams of Hitchhikers fame. It meant that only some of the recorded broadcast was available and due to the strike the rest of the filming got scrapped. However, the script was intact so they used some animation to fill in the gaps.
This video explains it all -
Douglas Adams' legendary half-finished Doctor Who adventure, Shada was never completed but what actually happened? Ahead of the abandoned classic being brought to life as a brand-new animation, we explain why Shada was never originally completed.
So I watched this version on Britbox and it turned out to be very good with all that Adams wit brought to Hitchhikers Guide.
Lunch was chilli beef with pilau rice. Washed down with a Guinness porter.
