( James, of course, devoured the whole season in one weekend. )I'm especially looking forward to The Stones Of Blood, which I haven't seen since it was on TV back in 1978...Simon B https://www.blogger.com/profile/07719757386457800087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5470510671824637475.post-27057540967637141502012-08-10T05:26:32.703+01:002012-08-10T05:26:32.703+01:00I rewatched Inferno in remembrance of the wonderfu...I rewatched Inferno in remembrance of the wonderful Caroline John and was struck by how much the entire cast spends shouting their lines because of that infernal noise from the drill. And Petra flouncing in and out of the scenes just makes me laugh. The alternate Brigadier is just plain hot, even if he's a right bastard.<br /><br />I don't know which Mary Tamm serial is my favorite - I like them all!!<br /><br />Beautiful shot of Tintagel, by the way. :)Mick Mockhttp://strangecousinsusanx.tumblr.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5470510671824637475.post-6193780243972378632012-07-29T12:50:32.547+01:002012-07-29T12:50:32.547+01:00I didn't realise that.

I had meant to mention in my post about the lack of any Who mentions... but forgot. It is surprising, considering how popular a character the Doctor is nowadays. ( And it's still really strange to be saying that, even after the past 7 years of Nu-Who... )<br /><br />The nods to British childrens' literature were nice ( Peter Pan, Mary Poppins etc. )but I would have liked the event to have cast its net wider in terms of heroes and gone back to King Arthur, Robin Hood, Ivanhoe etc. The old, mythic heroes should never be cast aside, as far as I'm concerned...Simon B https://www.blogger.com/profile/07719757386457800087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5470510671824637475.post-69367796373121278472012-07-28T22:08:09.260+01:002012-07-28T22:08:09.260+01:00I been to Tintagel!

I was saddened by the passing of Caroline John and Mary Tamm.<br /><br />I was very impressed with the opening ceremonies of the Olympics. Other than the TARDIS dematerialization effect during Bohemian Rhapsody, it was noticeably lacking in Doctor Who references, though.M. D.
