Today I went to Sheffield. I saw the trophy (they were doing a photoshoot with it on the grass outside the Crucible) and I saw Hazel's chair (it still has the price tag on). I did not see any snooker players, or Hazel. There is a new big screen outside the theatre, and it is very very grainy and pixelly.  There are also some new giant planter

There was an interview in the Radio Times where they mention that he's married again, and than he likes Cameron.

Ken is adorable. My Sky box has just died, I can't see him and I bet he's losing frames while I'm not watching. :(

Probably, but I'm trying to fix it...

I thought this week's was really poor too - brilliant opening idea but we'd been told 'OMG WWII DALEKS!!!' in the teaser last week and really that was the best of it. Some lovely moments but compared to how much sheer FUN I've found the last two, it felt really flat. The writer is the same as the terrible 1950s Rose/Ten era one where Maureen Lipman was stealing people's faces out of their tellies pre-coronation (again, sounds amazing: was dire) so I wasn't expecting too much.

Yay Amy and her Mysterious Crack. (I do wish there was a less iffy way to describe that.)

Thing is, I LOVED Mark Gatiss's Lucifer Box books, they were brilliant. I hated that telly episode though. Apart from Rose's frock.

I think we saw all the good bits of tonight in the trailers, sadly. I feel very much like I did about Daleks in Manhattan - fab concept, incredibly disappointing execution. I love the idea of a WW2 episode - it could have been so good. I wanted more of the period stuff - they could have had some Daleks double crossing Churchill and stealing plans or something and talking to the Germans... and more about the girl and her pilot boyfriend. And more tea.

And I love League of Gentlemen (mostly: not the fact that they toured the same bloody show for about 10 years, tsk, nor the terrible film) - but yeah, a lot of the same issues: visually great but not in a way that distracted from abandoned plots or moments of total nonsense. It felt like a script that had been edited a lot and still didn't work. If the best bit of a Dalek episode is it holding a cup of tea, you've gone wrong somewhere.

[gingerelanor]

To be fair, the bit with the box file was good too.

It appears that I already forgot about Doctor Who, oops. I may have a look at it on the iplayer in the week. I just don't get excited about it anymore. But I really want to see the Alex Kingston episodes.

[gingerelanor]

Hm - did you see her episodes from the last series? They follow on from those.

I hated her character, I'm not looking forward to her coming back.

I know. I am displeased.

Re: ray

[e4q]

still, it is sort of better than if he had married a very nice girl who looks a lot like YOU! if you know what i mean...

Re: ray

[gingerelanor]

Yeah, I bet he married a witch.

[myrtlebaggins]

OMG Ray heard you had a Gary and had a rebound marriage. Oh, Ray.

[gingerelanor]

Lol, that's what Colin said too. I know, it's only a manifestation of how sad and heartbroken poor Ray was.
