I wanted to contribute to halfamoon and decided I would celebrate Nicola Murray, lead character and Secretary of State for the Department of Social Affairs and Citizenship in the third series of The Thick of It. I'm not sure how well known it is, but The Thick of It changed last year from a show with a male lead, to a show with a female lead, and really, ( Read more... )

I wanted to do a big 2009 picspam, but could not decide on a format. Then and idea struck me: since I'm forever lamenting entertainment awards' inability to make the right decision, why not do my picspam in an award sort of format, with the awards categories themselves completely made up and arbitrary so I could just picspam things I liked this ( Read more... )

I'm all nostalgic for Nine at the moment. I think it's because of all the ads for GI Joe on the telly. (Dear Christopher Eccleston, please be in better movies. I adore you, but I'm not paying money to see that even though you're in it). So for picspammy's short form challenge I've done the Doctor Who season one launch trailer.

I've been watching The Catherine Tate Show lately. I've caught series one and two. I'd really only seen bits of it on youtube before now. I figured it needed investigating, 1. since half the comments about Catherine Tate I've read seem to start with the sentence "I can't stand The Catherine Tate Show…" (and either finish with the comment of "and ( Read more... )

I’ve been at it again with the Doctor Who screencap reviews because I really enjoy doing them. This time returned to my favourite era of the show, the very early Fourth Doctor. In fact, it’s the first appearance of the Fourth Doctor.

At the current rate I’m going, it’ll be about 2021 when I finally manage to make it through the entirety of the Classic Series of Doctor Who, but I plod on, because I absolutely love it. And I’ve done another screencap review, this time of 1964’s The Dalek Invasion of Earth, which is very much a cross between Last of the Time Lords and Doomsday.

jadeddiva tagged me and tracking down pictures turned out to be an incredibly enjoyable use of a couple of hours. Best. Meme. Ever? I think so.

I’ve been watching Old School Who again, this time going all the way back and watching The Beginning Box set, which is the first four serials of the series ever and features the original Team Tardis - the crotchety first Doctor, his granddaughter the 20th century loving teenager Susan, the cardigan-wearing action man Ian Chesterton and the class ( Read more... )
