One of the reasons I enjoyed Boston Legal. Once they stopped trying to force the pretty young things into the cast and focused on the quality cast they did have, the characters were able to have a fourth wall discussion about the lack of TV shows with older casts - from the perspective of having...

That is just wrong on so many levels.

Yes Poirot will be played by Kenneth Branagh and the mustache from hell. Apparently Kenneth's performance will be aimed at making Poirot "younger and more active". As a massive Agatha Christie fan, I wept a little just typing that last sentence.

I suspect that the novels are too dated now to be faithfully adapted. Personally I'd prefer to see the series continue with all new stories. And to a fair extent a large portion of what we've seen on screen has been original material bearing little or no relation to the novel that the titles...

Oooh. I'm gonna have to go looking for the New Who Programme Guide. Unfortunately it will be out of date since there's new episodes appearing all the time (hopefully for a long time to come).

David Suchet never "played" Poirot. He was Poirot! Without a doubt, the finest interpretation of Poirot we've seen (and that doesn't look like it will be changing with the new Murder on the Orient Express movie).

And they offered the tantalising possibility of her telepathic powers beginning to develop in The Sensorites, which then was immediately forgotten.

Can someone please explain to me where the demand is coming from to turn so many relatively serious tv shows into comedy parody movies? What fan base are they trying to market to? People who enjoyed those shows but are embarrassed by them?

I always enjoy working through the 7 volume Handbook series which took a look at each of the 7 classic Doctors (and Paul McGann lumped in at the end of Sylvester McCoy. A bit of information on the actor (largely through quotes from interviews from themselves or others involved in the...

I really should get around to sitting down and watching the original of this one day.

I read the books a while ago and, although the first one was OK (might have enjoyed it more if I was 14), it turned into a real mess by the end.

I tend to take Rory and Amy's leaving as forced - it was only when they were sent back in time to a place the TARDIS couldn't get to without difficulty that they decided to tell the Doctor not to come and get them - if that hadn't happened, the implication is that they'd have stayed with him...

Sometimes you need both at different points of the same day.

I watched Moana over the weekend with my family. Quite an enjoyable movie with great songs.

I've long been an advocate for changing the timing of our seasons. Instead of having three months each season, a more accurate reflection of our weather would be Summer from November to March, Autumn for April to mid June, Winter from mid June to the end of July, Spring from August to October.

I agree but I'm quite happy to have had the opportunity to see Julian Bleach in the role. It made more sense in the last couple of appearances in Classic Who when the Daleks clearly didn't need (or want) Davros, but instead he'd developed his own breed of loyal Daleks creating a civil war...

Got the whole set. Including filling out the gaps with the more recently published Shada and City of Death, and some fan produced novelisations of the remaining un-novelised stories.

If you're uncomfortable with that explanation you could always assume that the Doctor was just generating fake images of himself on screen to fool Morbius into thinking he was winning. Either way, the evidence shows that the Doctor was winning the battle.
