http://www.derbydeadpool.co.uk/ Quick update, odds and ends to be done tomorrow.

If only there were a thread where you could find all the latest info about her. Oh wait...

He looks like shit, like he did before without the 'Flu diet' he has been on.... His face looks awfully long now and I cannot help but think that, with some fettling of his attire, he would be the spit of Postman Pat.

In which case reality and John have parted company If he tips a horse - back a different runner

Who though? Ok, I couldn't resist, sue me.

Changes depending on the writer. Jodie Whittaker and the other new regulars were good. The dialogue and pacing were shite. As usual, Chris Chibnall tends to be the worst thing about any script by Chris Chibnall, but the actors did their best, and I hear better writers are on board in a few weeks. 8.2 million viewers overnight btw (ie before Iplayer and On Demand gets added on) - excellent for British drama in 2018.

Power pop musician, movie character, and my DDP side's very own Ed Drummond, John Wicks, has died aged 65.

Arrgggghhh! See words we hate thread. *I know you are in Canada and therefore it's perfectly acceptable North American English for you. It's just that for most this side of the pond there's something about that word..it grates like few others.

I still haven't seen it as I had to go out last night! Will watch it today. I want to like the Fifth Doctor but I just can't. It is a combination of things from the extremely poor writing under Saward through to the bad acting of the companions. Most of all, though, there is the weird public perception that has developed that the Fifth Doctor is the most pacifist of the classic Doctors, while there is virtually no evidence of this onscreen apart from one story, Warriors of the Deep. Peter Davison's Doctor guns down Cybermen, destroys Daleks, seriously contemplates killing Davros, euthanizes Omega and kills Monarch. This is comparable to the killings by the Sixth Doctor so I don't understand why Davison gets a free pass whilst the Colin Baker era is criticised for being too violent. I think they mistake the passivity of the Doctor in many stories like Kinda (where he does not actively drive the events) with pacifism which is proactive non-violence. There are more references to the Doctor being a pacifist/non-violent sprinkled throughout the Pertwee (constant critiques of UNIT, "peace party stuff in Frontier, comments about abhorring violence, etc) and some of the McCoy stories (Delta and the Bannermen, "look me in the eyes" speech in Happiness Patrol, anti-nuke stuff in Battlefield and rejection of the Seargeant's philosophy in Survival) than we see in the Davison era. Overall New Who is much more overtly pacifist than Old Who though. I tend to feel that Tennant - especially in his last season - is an attempt to do the Fifth Doctor in a more updated way. The Doctor's Daughter is much more overtly pacifist and would have worked as a Fifth Doctor story and the confrontation between Davros and the Doctor in the Stolen Earth finale also explores these themes more effectively than the Peter Davison Dalek story.

He may not be dying, but I trust he'll be on the 2019 list !

See they managed to ensure his left hand was in front of her

Was he a DJ?

On Wikipedia there is a list of the top 50 Golden age of Hollywood stars. 25 men & 25 Women in ranked order. Bogart is top ranked man and Katherine Hepburn is topped ranked woman. Only three stars still living: Kirk Douglas Sophia Loren Sidney Poitier

FTFY.

I watched it too. Thought it was 'meh'. Bit disappointed by it, but I reckon I'm the same with most new doctors. I'll give it a few more episodes.

The article used the same term. Granted, it's not the Queen's English and a bit of a lazy term. However, we can express our thoughts with a plethora of grammatic alternatives here, across the pond, when the need arises.

Okay, so LFN actually liked it and Biblio thought it was very average. I am worried! It is still several hours away down here. I understand that: a. Doc 13 is "more human" than the last two b. We are going to have many companions c. Chibnall is a fairly ordinary writer (with the exception of Broadchurch, which I haven't seen) d. The show is going to be more cinematic than ever before All this sounds frighteningly reminiscent of the Fifth Doctor's era to me. Human Doctor, "crowded Tardis" syndrome, Saward's writing ruining Davison's potential, glitzy but vacuous JNT production values and guest stars, etc... The one thing I am really holding out for is the rumour that there are going to be some pure historicals again.

The external location stuff was shot in Sheffield but the charity shop scene was in Cardiff.

Radio won't be on IMDb I think.

Jerry McCann sounds like a Scottish Jerry Can to me.

Australian sports journalist and Normie Rowe puncher has died aged 89. https://www.smh.com.au/entertainment/tv-and-radio/controversial-tv-presenter-and-talk-back-radio-host-ron-casey-dead-aged-89-20181002-p50780.html I'll be interested to see whether he gets a QO for DDP purposes, cause it'll help me see where that line is.
