We could light up Scotland

There will be something here tomorrow once I have seen 'The Shakespeare Code' again, cos I watch it for story first time and for lines the second time. It makes more overall sense to me that way. Just now, though, I am too tired to do anything more than make this observation, then go to bed

Re: settle yourself, another hefty comment comin' your way (Sorry!)

I thought the 'crisis' situation was "the witches are trying to reduce the world to a 'blasted heath' and invade with all their cronies". The shiny pinky-purple CGI bit above the Globe. But it did happen awfully quickly, so I can see where you're coming from.
The 'words mean power' thing was done fairly well, I thought. I loved how the Doctor said that Rose would've said the right thing, and then Martha ends up saying the right thing to finish Shakespeare's 'spell'.

I have not seen Life on Mars. I want to. Time travel and the 70s are both things that I love, so I don't understand why I didn't watch it when it started. Now I don't have the time, and even if I did, I'd have to rent the dvds just to catch up. Maybe I'll get them in the summer, once I'm done with all the other things I have to read and watch. I also really want to rent All Creatures Great and Small. I need more Petey.

Thanks :o) Icon by agentcompassion, if I remember rightly.

You need to see more Four. He has SJ. And Leela. And K9. And Romana. And Adric (he's more likeable with Four than with Five, I find). You have my list of recommendations :o)

Well, the queen was wearing a ruff, wasn't she? I think the Doctor was just giving Shakespeare a ruff he'd found, and telling him it suited him. After all, he wouldn't have found a ruff in the theatre's supplies (which, I assume, is where he found it) if they hadn't already been in fashion - which, as you say, they were.

And yeah, I love The Unquiet Dead too. That's the one my godson found terrifying :o) And Nine being a Dickens fanboy - adorable.

shorter comment - finally!

I shall watch again. I have the boxset of LoM, and I'd upload, yet I have no DVD drive or disk thing or something :( I reckon uk_telly have it though. But I didn't say that.

One thing I forgot to mention - I thought this was the most like Classic Who New Who has ever been. Lots of running round, and even (i think) some shaky setness. And just general more classicy :D

I've tried them before. They're still closed for membership clean-up :o(

Ooh. Download links for LoM would be great. And ACG&S if you can get it. But not until after the 10th of May - I have to study! *whimpers* Too much telly, not enough time... Oh, and probably best if you email them to me, or leave them in a comment on a locked post of mine - if they have the same rules as you-know-what then you shouldn't really talk about it in unlocked posts :o)
