I'm a medical wierdo!!
Been back to the doc's to find that my heart is beating irregularly and I have an underactive thyroid. Problem is that if he gives me pills for the Thyroid thingy they make your heart beat faster which doesn't help the other thing. Apart from that I am 'in wonderful condition for my age' (cheeky sod). Now have to wait until 26th June to see heart specialist so he can tell my doc to prescribe pills for the heart thing - talk about long-winded.
On Sunday met with RA friends and we had a lovely lunch out. Sat outside in the sunshine, had a really nice time and I am now the colour of a fairly well-done lobster but have slapped on the after-sun and it seems to be working ok.
Robin Hood - at last this week the writers turned in a decent script - so far they have been fairly ropey but RA at last had something to get his teeth into and his acting was superb. That man can show a whole range of emotions just with a change of expression. I have often heard about actors wanting to be filmed from their 'good side' Richard doesn't have a bad side, he looks great from all angles! I still think that in this series Guy has had quite a look of Richard III going on and, after Saturday's execution episode, if they ever re-make A Tale of Two Cities he should be a shoe-in for Sydney Carton.
Keith Allan has been sadly missed over the last three weeks, as much as I have enjoyed the antics of Prince John, Toby Stephens played him beautifully in a very camp sort of way. Keith and Richard are both good actors but together they just seem to spark off each other and the scenes are that much better. I agree with the young man (Aged 9) who wrote to the papers complaining about the amount of snogging in Robin Hood. in his words - in the last series Robin kept snogging Marion, now he snogs anything that moves! (Much, Allan and Little John better be careful). So much for mourning Marion - that lasted all of two episodes if that.
For all the actors I think they have not been well-served by the scriptwriters this time and quite often they have had to do their best with some dreadful rubbish lines. The BBC are forever moaning about budgets and drama being expensive to produce, then they bring in well-know good actors like David Harewood and Joanna Froggatt (not to mention the various guest actors) at what must be pretty substantial fees, then give them rubbish scripts. it just does not make any sense.
Have had to make do with Richard as eye candy this week (not complaining you understand he is very attractive eye candy) but there has been no The Bill or Primeval. Oh well another week starts and they are both on this week.
