I've just heard a bit of David Tennant's Hamlet on Radio 4. It has had good reviews, but I'm surprised that he's doing it in an English accent. Isn't his regular, non-Doctor accent Scottish?

Yes it is - but he's playing a Danish Prince, and I doubt he knows how to do a Danish accent
 plus Shakespeare was English, so... "The other night I dreamed that King George VI was dead, and that Helen Hardinge had somehow or other got herself proclaimed Queen of England, and that I was detailed to go and tell her that it wouldn't do at all; and when I did this, all she said was, 'You see, I am really Queen Mary,' and I said, 'Oh very well' - words to that effect, and woke up. Last night I dreamed that Eisenhower came to stay with us, and he insisted on being put to sleep in the dog kennel, with a collar and chain about his neck." - Sir Alan Lascelles, 19 February 1980 |

I imagine that's up to the director. After all, it'd be strange if Hamlet had a Scottish accent and Hamlet's parents didn't.

I just read a bit where they aren't letting anyone bring Star Trek or Doctor Who merch to get signed. I think I agree, that stuff is out of place at the backstage of Hamlet.

alrighty.....since we in america have finished with the series, i have a confession to make.
i dont kno wif it was becasue i was exhausted, if it was because im going through a weird identity crisis of sorts, or because i was running a fever, but when they started showing the clips of everyone "the doctor killed", i lost it. i bawled! i was seriously sobbing into my afghan. and i continued to cry, especially when donna was turned back. then a commercial came on, and i calmed down and then the end happened with the whole, whole planets will sing arias about her until the end of time but she can never know....and i lost it again. when it ended, i went into my room and just sobbed.....dont know why, came out, a commercial about kids cancer research came on, and it started all over again...... im chalking it up to exhausting and sickness.......although i would have cried normally during an episode like that anyway....man, thats 2 this season that made me cry..... “The 75 Delirians?†“Umm… well, number 2 is off sick, 38 is suffering from a mild case of sanity, and 74 has run off to the world of men to spread sparkly gigglepops to their drab civilization.†“Is she nuts?†“Oh yes, she scored very highly on the entrance exam†|

Who is the Doctor?
John Pertwee's 1970 song camp as anything!

Del, the end of the season was about enough to make me cry a bit, but it was odd - the Doctor didn't cry or even seem capable of it so it just felt wrong for me to do so. He was sorrowful, properly grave about it all, but resigned and more than a bit detached and cold. Very emotional ending, though. __________ AJGraeme "You see, I have a policy about honesty and ass-kicking: if you ask for it, I have to let you have it." -Taylor Mali "Science is the foot that kicks magic square in the nuts." -Scratch Fury |

I love that! And it has made me notice that only 4 female companions have been non-human (and 3 of those were Gallifreyan and 2 of those 3 were the same person). Unless I'm actually wrong about Nyssa. __________________________________________________________ Oh you young people. It's all tea and muffins and excitement in your world I expect. |

It's Torchwood. Meh.

I just got raving angry! kept yelling, "oh, that's just wrong!" And yet when the I got to watching the series again last year, when the theme song came on I blubbered like a baby. Life is just not a right when there is no Doctor Who to watch. |

Yeah, I'm in love with Captain Jack too. Have a picture of him at my desk to keep me together at work.The look on his face just seems to say, "oh, come on, it can't be that bad!"

For anyone who wanted to listen to the Radio 4 CERN-themed episode of Torchwood, it's here on the BBC website.
SPOILERS IN WHITE BELOW: I really enjoyed it, but it was indeed cheesetastic. Captain Jack was Exposition Man: "As you know, Bob, the Large Hadron Collider is...". Martha thought it was appropriate to ask Gwen to relive her grief about Tosh and Chimp Boy just as Gwen was searching a tunnel for a life-sucking alien - distraction, much? And the ending had an uber-cheesy deus ex machina. But I did enjoy it, a lot. How I adore the BBC! *********************** There once was a bard of Hong Kong Who thought limericks were too long. - Gerard Benson. |

So, I have this plan to watch the whole run of classic Doctor Who from the beginning. It is for Research. I mentioned it in another thread and Mark asked if he could join in with me, and I was like, Cool. How? Except I didn't say that, I just posted the link to the pirates I've been pirating from, which has all the episodes between seasons 1 and 19.
I've got just past the middle of Season 2. I don't know how I should expect anyone else to keep up with me, given that I'm an insomniac with way too much time on my hands, but if someone else wants to discuss episodes I totally can now! And if I can make a recommendation, Edge of Destruction is particularly enjoyable at 3 AM when high on sleeping pills and still unable to sleep. Something about the care-ful-ly en-oun-ci-at-ed Stage En-glish with paus-es be-tween each act-tor's line to make sure that the au-di-ence can ful-ly un-der-stand the sit-u-a-tion when cou-pled with a thou-rough-ly in-com-pre-hen-si-ble plot-line. And the way that the doctor carefully explains in great technical detail at the end that the whole problem was caused by a button being stuck down on the console. I quite liked the Marco Polo reconstruction. Dialog over colorized stills with action described in subtitles. And The Web Planet was great. My appreciation for camp has developed greatly since I saw these on IPTV at 12 yrs old. Watching community-theater grade actors who have been instructed to "act like a moth" is way more enjoyable when you've shed that "embarrassment-by-association" reflex.
