Liked the (slight, but specific) political references again (Iraq, even the Belgrano). David Tennant verging on the Jamie Oliver at times, but he was a lot of fun. Glad they subverted the threateningly-predictable ginger discussion too! What the hell was that song they were playing at the end of the episode, when he's trying out those new clothes (ah, TARDIS cloakroom, good set/effect)?
Thanks for the doll book Paula: I don't think I'll actually make them (though Carrie's possibly gonna have a go at her ferris-wheel one), 'cos I like the idea of suprising historians of the future with it (a bit like The Adolf Hitler Puzzle Book, or 1001 Of Mussolini's Favourite Gags - and of anyone thinks I'm exaggerating they can fuck off..)

yeah, wasnt sure i was gonna like david tennant much but think he might actually turn out to be pretty good...
{that was almost as good a critical appraisal as when the editor of the times said that something was 'really just a bit rubbish!' on the breakfast news the other morning. }

I'm glad it didn't make me sad though: couldn't have dealt with a downer episode on Christmas Day, at least not this year. Very much looking forward to the new season after that trailer too! Got back from my parents' in time to see it anyway, though Carrie and Barney have gone elsewhere to take-up the digital-interactive game-playing option, the lucky things. Um, which is why I'm online, drinking wine on my oen, and watching The Fall out the corner of my eye! Here's to 2006 then, eh..

Glad you found some enjoyment in the Mumm-ra comic: I think it's already too embedded in my head for me to want to give it another read this evening (I know if the opportunity had come up at the time in our lives to do a 4D Special Agent comic we'd be bitterly regretting it by now...), but yeah, stick it in your Vault Of Special Things, to be produced at unexpected moments in the future, of at leat during '06, that's if the Mumm-ra records come out as promised...
On that note: great (minor) pop anecdotes of our lives (available on request) -
- The night I kissed both Pet Shop Boys.
- Thom Yorke lived with our sister.
- Smokin' dope with Sebadoh.
- Drinking with Cerys Matthews.
- The time Ade nearly killed Kurt Cobain.
- Coastline Records and Hastings as the New Seattle (according to Radio One and the Melody Maker).
- PJ Harvey gives me the (wonky) eye.
- Scout vs The Mad Professor.
- On tour with Bis.
- The man who saw Mark E Smith's cock.
- I was a teenage Bandit Queen groupie.
- Robbie Williams slept with a (male) friend-of-a-friend of mine.
- Down the pub with The KLF.
- BMX Bandits golf-cart hit-'n'-run incident.
- The Flaming Lips/giant puddle incident.
- Down the cafe with Jarvis Cocker.
- Gina Birch and the uninhabited basement flat.
- The Young Offenders are in the lounge.
- Cliff-walking with Magoo.
- Fire-safety with Arab Strap.
- Amelia Fletcher receives Worst Fanzine Ever Written.
- I sold booze to Blueboy.
- More drinking, this time with Boyracer.
- Orlando fail to set us up with Bubblegum Splash.
- Chance meeting between Another Sunny Day and pissed-up Coastline representatives in a Camber Sands right-of-way.
- Vincent Gallo gets told exactly who he is (several times).
- Mike Joyce is cruisin' for a bruisin'.
- Snow Patrol hit the basement.
- Bette Davis & The Balconettes matched drink-for-drink.
- Going weak in the presence of Hooky.
Hmm, these headlines are probably more entertaining than the anecdotes themselves! Any further offers?

Carrie just reminded me of a few other references in Doctor Who earlier: such as -
The Empire Strikes Back (sword fight/the severed hand)
The Hitch-Hikers Guide To The Galaxy (explicit Artur Dent reference)
The Quatermass Conclusion (the 70's John Mills series: ref. the group-mind march of people to a high-ground area).
Spot any others?

Aside from Xmas Dinner I found Dr Who to be the most looked forward to event of the day. Didn't disappoint either - thought the idea of him not doing anything much till the very end was nifty writing, obviously anticipating that the viewing public (like Rose) would lose their faith in his ability to be a great hero and then be reaffirmed by his triumphant saving of the day and kicking the government into gear. Mind you - Penelope Wilton as Prime Minister? Campaign for it now! Can't wait for K9!!!!  |

That whole pilot fish/Santa/Chrismas tree bit was somewhat tacked-on to the start though, wasn't it? Good fun, and scary, but I got the impression that the plan they had for the first episode of the new season just got brought back to Christmas and padded out to fit the longer time-slot. Again, though, nicely and gruesomely subverted by the 'snow'fall at the end of the story.

Apparently there's a spin-off show on BBC3 called Torchwood, with the Captain Jack character. Is this on yet?

Post by Carolyn B on Jan 16, 2006 14:16:39 GMT 1
Haven't seen any mention of it - don't tend to watch too much BBC3, but do normally read the radio times cover to cover - so will look out for it - I'm sure they will promote it well, given the popularity of Doctor Who at the mo.
Speaking of Captain Jack - anyone see the celebrity ice skating / dancing thing on Sat night? He's very charming!

Actually, I think 'Captain Jack' was an alias the character was supposed to have picked up on Earth, as part of his cover whilst pursuing the Time Agents, so zip-it smartypants!
[Amazingly, I do also have a full social-life, and good relationships with the opposite sex. Or rather, as we're on the Captain Jack subject, good relationships with both sexes. Hey-ho]

No, sorry to disappoint, but that refers to when we were all sitting in the Queen Victoria pub at ATP, and Gallo, PJ Harvey, Kim Gordon etc joined our table. Paula was so excited, all she could say to him was "You're Vincent Gallo!" Several times...
I did walk out of the Brown Bunny premiere, saying (rather too loudly) that if I wanted to see an enourmous cock I'd look in my own pants, thanks (but only because we reckoned that's the only scene anyone at the premiere was waiting to see). That might've pissed him off. Will this do?

Another thread-jacking by Vincent Gallo's cock... that thing sure gets around, doesn't it? (Am somewhat disappointed to discover that these boards are nowhere to be found when the term is googled. Come on people, we can do better than this! See if you can insert it *snort* into other random topics. We must become the number one listing for Vincent Gallo's wobbly bits!) Or not. |

On a related note: did anyone get the story last week about text-messages that get sent to landlines? I was told by Gill at work (and she's actually one of the very reliable and well-informed people there) that she'd read that instead of the standard robotic voice that reads those texts back to you, the phone company (which one? BT?) have employed Tom Baker to supply the voice-track, the idea being that when your phone rings in the middle of the night 'cos a friend who will remain nameless has accidentally sent the message "I got drugs, yummy yummy!" to your landline, you get the message in Tom Baker's voice. Can this be true? What would you like to make Tom Baker say, and to whom? It's too bloody tempting isn't it? NB: Keep it clean, please...

i have no objection to people discussing gallo's scabid organ, i just thought it was a bit gross for the ladyfest thread. as for midnight texts, i mostly get those from my boyfriend, and they're often obscene. so having my uncle tom call me up in the middle of the night and reaad them to me would be a little disconcerting.
