Slouching Sunday
Nov. 7th, 2021 11:15 pmWell, a bit of a relaxed uneventful day. That is how I like it sometimes. Just let the world pass by, listen to some good music, read a bit and chill out.
There is no bus service round here on Sundays anyway.
I did go for a nice walk as it was sunny if cool, but warmer than of late.
Watched the second episode of Dr.Who and a couple of science documentaries.
Tomorrow I will be enjoying the food prepared by Anna, our Asian lady who lives above me, who is giving us a feast tomorrow in the common room. I will be taking pictures of course.

Have any of you Whovians watched the first episode of the latest season of Dr.Who yet? I watched it last night and found it a bit confusing at first. Let me know what you think.
By the way, who loves the new post editor? I tried it. Did not like it and went back to the old style.

Well, another fairly good mild day.
Watched the last few episodes of the classic Doctor Who with Sylvester McCoy as the Doctor and Sophie Aldred as Ace.
After 35 years she returns to the Whoniverse. Although her departure was never seen on screen, various explanations have been put forward as to what happened to her. The Virgin adventures saw her going to live on Gallifrey, while the more canonical explanation says that she ended up on Earth running her own charity, A Charitable Earth. This was referenced in The Sarah Jane Adventures and in the trailer, for the Season 26 Blu-ray set, as well as the novel At Childhood’s End which was penned by Sophie Aldred herself.
Sophie Aldred returns as Ace
Sophie Aldred is returning as Ace in a new Doctor Who spin-off adventure – Torchwood: The Red List.
As you probably know, Sophie Aldred’s classic Doctor Who character was originally the companion to the Seventh Doctor. Although her departure was never seen on screen, various explanations have been put forward as to what happened to her. The Virgin adventures saw her going to live on Gallifrey, while the more canonical explanation says that she ended up on Earth running her own charity, A Charitable Earth. This was referenced in The Sarah Jane Adventures and in the trailer, for the Season 26 Blu-ray set, as well as the novel At Childhood’s End which was penned by Sophie Aldred herself.
And at the time of writing, this is the explanation that is currently sticking. Indeed, the audio company Big Finish are picking up this plot point, and they have recently announced that Sophie Aldred will be returning to the Whoniverse in November 2021 in a brand new Torchwood adventure titled The Red List. In the story, she will go by her real name of Dorothy McShane.

Saturday Sublimation
Jan. 30th, 2021 10:35 pmWell, so far the weekend has been a damp squib. Rained in the morning and a musty misty dank afternoon.
Most of the day has been spent either listening to BBC Radio 3, playing some CDs and reading books and articles and any combination of them. I did watch a strange Scandinavian film called "Venus" via Prime as well.
Beyond that, I have been going methodically through old classic Doctor Who series via Britbix. I have done all the available ones right up to the Peter Davidson incarnation. The one which they had to use some animation due to a TV employee strike was Shada written by the one and only Douglas Adams of Hitchhikers fame. It meant that only some of the recorded broadcast was available and due to the strike the rest of the filming got scrapped. However, the script was intact so they used some animation to fill in the gaps.
This video explains it all -
Douglas Adams' legendary half-finished Doctor Who adventure, Shada was never completed but what actually happened? Ahead of the abandoned classic being brought to life as a brand-new animation, we explain why Shada was never originally completed.
So I watched this version on Britbox and it turned out to be very good with all that Adams wit brought to Hitchhikers Guide.
Lunch was chilli beef with pilau rice. Washed down with a Guinness porter.

Doctor Who
Jan. 1st, 2021 08:17 pmJust watched the New Year Day Doctor Who special and it was a good one. One of the best from the recent season with the Daleks resurrected and of course Captain Jack being back. No spoilers.
On Britbox I have been watching some of the old Jon Pertwee Doctor Who seasons. One thing I have noticed is how shoddy the SFX is compared to the reboot with "Rose".

TV Watching
Jan. 26th, 2020 12:00 amThis evening I watched the latest Doctor Who episode, which is turning out to a pretty good season and then the last episode of The Trial Of Christine Keeler. To be sure, she was a pawn in the foibles of powerful men.
I also watched two episodes of The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina Season 3. There seem to be some very good shows at the moment.
Well, time for bed soon I guess.

Spyfall Part 1 & 2
Jan. 6th, 2020 10:43 pmI just watched the two parts of the new Doctor Who series which started on New Year's Day. I waited for the second part to see the whole two episodes in one sitting. I was enthralled and bowled over. These are the best two episodes since Jody has taken over. It had pace, thrills, cool gadgets, a cameo part by Stephen Fry, and the Master is back regenerated into a less white skin!
After the rather lacklustre previous season, which was a consensus by many, this bang of a starter actually bodes well for this season.

Dr.Who End Of Season Review
Dec. 19th, 2018 01:49 amI was going to write a whole essay on the good and the bad of the current season of Doctor Who but then after a false click om the keyboard lost it all with no way of retrieving it.
So rather than retype the whole thing, here are two videos that I find are the most equivocal even-handed of all the recent tirades against the show - this one is more positive and is the one I tend to agree with most.

So rather than retype the whole thing, here are two videos that I find are the most equivocal even-handed of all the recent tirades against the show - this one is more positive and is the one I tend to agree with most.
Part of my argument was that there seemed to be a right-wing red top rag trade and media lead nasties (such as the Sun and Mail) against the new incarnation of the Doctor, and the ethnic diversity and so-called protofeminism of the stories. The misogynistic background of this white-lead male chauvinistic critique seemed to harangue against the idea of an ethnically sexually diverse universe and such political overtones such as universality that is implied. These are the Brexiteers who want to destroy us.
Excuse my rant. Just want to know your opinion of Season 11.

Hope you don't suffer from arachnophobia because if you did then you would have been unable to watch tonight's creepy Doctor Who episode. Just warning you!
Watched the so-called thriller Angels and Demons based on the Dan Brown book again. Loads of hokum of course but not bad, or am I just pontificating. Get it!

Falling Doctors

Well, an interesting start to the latest Doctor. It was enjoyable and had its moments, and i do think he will eb a great Doctor,but not so sure about the companions. Will need to watch again to settle my ambivalence.
On a Sunday though, i wonder if it will hit its target audience.
