Things That Amuse Me

Only me, of course. I'm fairly sure no one else cares.

Anyway, on the commentary for The Poison Sky David mentions that Cate texted him to say that John Barrowman was presenting This Morning with Fern Britton. ("Does the man never sit down?!" I always rewind that bit at least twice. I love it

Actually... that's pretty damn cool.

Im glad you think so! I get way too excited by things like that to tell if it's normal or not, lol.

Ahaha. Omg the hilarity. Though... d'you reckon commentaries go through a proof? They'd HAVE to, surely. Otherwise there'd be spoilers all over the place. (To be fair though, they're spoilers not many people would hear. I still haven't listened to my DW commentaries. Or Life on Mars, or Ashes. Or Buffy, for that matter. Lazy Lil is LAZY.)

Im sure they must do. I know that Dave, Freema and Barrow's Last of the Time Lords commentary never made it onto my DVD (even though it was on the UK release ones) and it probably has something to do with the fact that they blatantly call the President at the time, Bush an idiot. (I lolled, of course. Dave, ever the polite one, tries to cover by saying, "We're recording this in August 2007, just in case you're listening in future years and there's somebody marvelous in office.")

But other than that, DVD commentaries can get away with saying stuff. But the podcommentaries that come out directly after the first broadcast definitely cannot have any spoilers. Phil Collinson, Dave and Cate did one for Partners in Crime in which half the funny comes from Cate going, "Oh, I can't say that!" After the third or fourth time, Phil and Dave are crying with laughter. <3

LMAO. LMAAAAAAOOOOOO, oh David. I plan on buying the UK ones anyway, cos they're cheaper, but I'll have to see if the commentary is on the Aus release. It probably is. We have no sense of political correctness. xD

Haha I love that. "Watch the whole season first, you do NOT want to be spoiled for this! And we blatantly do so anyway!" xD

I throw Pertwee on when Im cleaning or travelling, and usually its music. But sometimes I get a hankering to listen to Dave, so I throw on a commentary. Or Hamlet. I have Hamlet on here too. xD (And the episode audios themselves, minus commentary. And Of Mice and Men that Dave did. Oh Im a fangirl.)

I also have Commentary! The Musical, which is Whedon's musical companion to Doctor Horrible. It is simultaneously really catchy music and hilarious commentary on the film, so... Yay for two birds one stone.

But I can't actually listen to the commentary if I watch the episode cause Im busy looking at the pretty on the telly and then I miss stuff.
