Blowing the dust off this LJ because, somewhat to my consternation, I seem to be getting caught up in the Beeb's updating of that 70s classic, Upstairs Downstairs. A slowly building, understated "Well, it might be worth a watch" has now become "Ooo, ooo! Trailer!" followed by a compulsion to make some icons. So here they are. Mainly Keeley but a ( Read more... )

Well the end of A2A successfully managed to render me unable to forget how much it annoyed me - while leaving me incapable of doing anything constructive about it. Can't write and can't make icons, but being negative about it all the time is starting to really annoy me. Thus I thought "Buggerit" and threw this together so I'd at least get something ( Read more... )

Before everything goes to Hell in A Quattro and we Know The Truth, I thought I'd look at The Theory and see how much is still viable. Spoilers.

( ...and so we face the final curtain. )

Little bit late with these - had to do my own capping, which is fatal 'cos I cap twice as much so it takes me twice as long to go through them. Plus Gene was looking particularly lovely (okay, yes, and Ray), so despite being hard-hearted and tossing about half away, there's still a whopping 60. Eeek.

As ever, comment is lovely, credit is nice, but ( Read more... )

44 - count 'em - icons from episode four of series three. Yes, folks we're halfway through. Doesn't time fly, or drag, depending on how you're enjoying the series. No Shaz again; really not digging her look this series.

As before, thanks to nancherrow  for the caps; credit, comment, hot linking, blah-de-blah. My bet is on #32 being snagged first. Any takers ( Read more... )

Alas, this weevil finds herself growing tired of having to disregard whole scenes because she knows the caps are too dark to make sensible icons from. I know times are hard in the world of television drama, but were they really so strapped for 50p for the meter? Heigh ho.

Anyway, 27 icons from episode two, and 30 from episode three. What can I say? ( Read more... )

 Somewhat to my surprise, after a further two episodes, my Big Picture theory is still undamaged. In fact I'll even go so far as to say it's been given some extra ammo. Quite a few folks have started to come up with similar thoughts now, I see, so I'm not totally cracked...

 Ah, another series, another colour palette. In the dark. With a new Mac (which always plays merry hell with the appearance) and someone else's screencaps (thanks to magicallaw ). In other words, feedback will be appreciated because I'm feeling a trifle uncertain about them. Me, I hate the jaundice effect the LoM look gives everyone, and have largely tried ( Read more... )

 I have another theory, but it's one I fear could be closer to the truth and I don't think I like it.

( Fourth wall )

 Well I may have about two thousand things I didn't like about episode one of series three, but it's certainly kicked the theorising into gear. So here's one to be going on with, based on what we've seen on screen so far and the general press and interweb interviews. I'm spoiler-free as far as episode two and beyond are concerned.
