Surely these are the most exciting and dramatic television advertisements ever made:

I don't even know precisely what it is they're advertising.

You know, I've just realised how much of a spoof "Doctor Who and The Myth Makers" is, and that several of its main jokes are completely lost unless you've read (or know a good synopsis) of "The Iliad".

A spoof of 8th-6th century BC Greek Literature in a 1960s science fiction series.

What the Hell was Doctor Who up to? I do wish it did it more

... I've just come back from a highly enjoyable holiday in Newquay. It was really nice to be around all my mates and living with them for a week, not to mention the enduring fun of caravan v caravan bitchfests (as the group had to be split into two). Much food was consumed and in-jokes created. And once again I was approached for relationship ( Read more... )

Despite creating a cunning new username at Youtube - conservativecoach (oh the wonder)- I still can't upload my 4 Who videos, as the City trailer was rejected as soon as uploaded, so I can't get by the system. It irritates me that all Who vids like that were forbidden for a time but people can just upload as many as they want now. My lovely ( Read more... )

English Literature: A (571/600 - three exams with full marks and full marks on a coursework)

Psychology: A (265/300 - full marks on coursework)

English Language: A (528/600 - full marks on both courseworks)

That'll do nicely then. Could have got into Oxbridge after all. Heh.

The Purple Rose of Skaro

It's a rather fabulous animated story starring Davros and the Master and a whole host of other Who-related monsters (including delegate Sentreal, who nobody's ever heard of!). Unfortunately most of Davros's dialogue is nigh on impossible to make out, but it's still well worth a watch.

A while ago in Britain there were occasional live events that were called the Secret Policeman's Balls, started by John Cleese. They were a collection of music and comedic acts intended to raise money for Amnesty International. People like Peter Cook, the Monty Python gang, Rowan Atkinson, Peter Ustinov etc. all took part in them. I have the DVDs ( Read more... )

Well, one week till I get my A level results. The days are still going by without incident. I haven't been this inactive since I was released from my mother's womb.

Nothing happening, nothing happening, see some friends, drink some beverages, nothing happening...

And in other news, Doctor Who is now dressed like a postman.

Just a brief note for those who were worrying that I might be dead. I may well be in a few weeks or so but I'm not at the moment. In this current limbo of results suspense my life consists of watching episodes of Futurama and MST3K whilst playing old Sega games on an emulator, with occasional pauses to read the assorted adventures of Sherlock ( Read more... )

Had a good time at an 80s themed party last night celebrating the birthday of a close friend o' mine from college. Just a large group of us in a rented out club type establishment, eating, "dancing" and touching each other. And the world goes on. A good laugh, och aye. I didn't even have a costume after ages of searching and just went in my normal ( Read more... )
