"Dog's Arse Bay"- a stifling new work by
Thu, 19 Aug 1999, 04:14 pmRe Fiona Reid's eloquent comment on "Dog's Head Bay".Grievance One: When is the Emeritus Williamson going to realise that no-one speaks like the characters from a lesser Oscar Wilde farce?Grievance Two: When is the Emeritus Williamson going to realise that there are other states in this country other than New South Wales?Grievance Three: When is the ABC going to cease doing shows on the cheap? By the same token, when is someone going to give Aunty some money to do something decent?Grievance Four: When will someone tell Gary Sweet that there are more than two theatrical gestures in the world?Grievance Five: How many more times must we be subjected to the same sequence of theme tune by that blasted Stephane-Grappelli-rip-off violin??Grievance Six: As opposed to getting an actress that does a convincing Angela Punch-McGregor impersonation, why not simply get Angela Punch-McGregor?Grievance Seven: And what's the story with that piss-weak blue screen car effect at the end of episode 1?!? That sort of sheningans went out with Dr Who.Seven grievances borne out of 30 minutes. Not bad for one episode. If you have any more grievances about this bucket of bile that passes as TV Entertainment, get posting!El
Re: Origin of the Doctor
Sat, 21 Aug 1999, 07:45 amdid someone mention a TARDIS?> The most popular Doctor? Tom Baker 1974-83. How popular was Sylvester> McCoy, or Colin Baker, Peter Davison, John Pertwee, Patrick Troughton> or William Hartnell in comparison? Eh??????and popularity is an accurate measure of .....? Remember the popular view used to be that the earth was round! ;)Tom was wonderful, yes. Jon was great too. But don't pass over Patrick Troughton. Maybe it is just mother-duck-syndrome, but he was the first Doctor i ever knew and i'm still rather fond of him. You can certainly see the genesis of Tom's quirky interpretation more clearly in Patrick than William Hartnell.> The "Golden Age", as referred by Grant, is 1974-83.> No Argument.agreed.> You win a prize if you can tell me the name AND transmission> date of the very first Dr Who episode. Jamie Cant is excluded from> this as he is a fanatic.An Unearthly Child, 23/11/63 at 5.15pm?dang! does that me a fanatic too?or just a cheater who's cousin was the secretary of the local fan club for 20+ years? ;)CheersGrant
