Fannish Delights and Frustrations

Feb 09, 2007 17:03

Firstly, everyone in Britain who gets to see Life on Mars next week? I'm totally envious and casting desperate glances in the direction of my usual source, hmpf.

Secondly: why was I not told? Sylvester McCoy interview, in which it's mentioned he'll play the Fool to Ian McKellen's King Lear when the later goes on tour with the RSC production. Seriously ( Read more... )

That story about the Dalek and the child is so sweet. Sylv and Sophie were probably so good onscreen largely because they were so good off it.

*nods* Yes, I loved that story as well. Dear man. And have you listened to the audio commentary he and Sophie did on the released DVDS so far?

redstarrobot February 9 2007, 19:39:00 UTC

Sadly not; I fear I have precisely zero of the DVD releases, despite his three being some of my most favoritest of stories!

Seriously, McKellen as Lear and McCoy as the Fool?

::whimpers::

I hope you find a way to see this, as I sure as hell won't be able to do so.

(Also my favorite Doctor.)

*whimpering with you and working on it*

Ooh! Lear is a favourite of mine to start with and with those two...

Let me know if you plan to go and I'll see if my budget is up to it.

I won't know whether I can make it before next month, but I really, really want to try. Will keep you posted!

Oh, I'd love to see McCoy as the Fool! (He's my second favorite Doctor).

All hail Trevor Nunn for casting him. Now, about that schedule...
