I'm now hearing The Littlest Hobo:
"In the sea, it keeps on taunting me
Through the waves, that fin I'll always see
Every port I stop, I find a new case
A bitten corpse, a chewed-up limb, a missing face
Maybe tomorrow, I'll head out after dark
And then tomorrow, I'll get to catch that shark..."

Also, it had a decade to build up its reputation before the BBC went near it, and over two decades before it started to get more than the odd In Concert recorded there. Other festivals get coverage too, but it's mainly public demand that grants Glasto wall-to-wall for one weekend a year.

That's fascinating - the fact that they're so out of step does suggest fan consensus. Hope you can solve this, it's bugging me now :-)

Romana did it and the Doctor was furious - but Rose is in another universe, so...

I really liked his Roald Dahl short films. Lovely to see beautifully shot Tales of the Unexpected with a stellar cast.

More Target-based fun on Saturday morning, just after 9.09am (if I've scheduled it all right)

The Target version of The Sontaran Experiment, illustrated! Includes a couple of scenes that differ from the TV version! (2/2)

She was a Rank-trained movie star who gave commitment to everything from feature films, to guest slots in The Sweeney, to celeb chat shows. She went where the work was and always delivered, even in lesser films. Rare quality of being both a proper star AND a proper actor.

It's rare for me to watch a film again as quickly as I did this one. I watched it via Plex on a flight once and enjoyed it, but when I got home I watched it again and loved it all the more.

By the way, when I was responsible for image selection on iPlayer, I thought it'd be nice to highlight the guest cast on New Tricks.
We got complaints that I was "giving away who dunnit", so I stopped. I suppose regular viewers ignore this format flaw, but having it in the photo just exposes it.

That's probably what UNIT is doing. Aside from rocket-powered chairs, nobody's there because their disability gives them superpowers. Though it feels like Kate hires anyone just because they know the Doctor. Might Adam be secretly working in a basement somewhere?

I thnk that's just the nature of the show - a guest character with dialogue needs a reason to be there, otherwise they might as well be background.
It's like with shows like New Tricks - anyone who's not in the regular cast did the crime. It's just a format / budget issue.

I think folks might be missing something here. When the Doctor previously met a deaf woman, he tried to use semaphore. He was an utter dick.
I think the Doctor LEARNED BSL. Or at least he learned forms of sign, so the TARDIS has something to latch onto.

East Midlands. Apparently it's delayed because of "an issue currently under investigation". I bet it's a zombie outbreak in 1st class.

I'm always delighted when he pops up in so many films in the 1930s - like the early Michael Powell ones I started watching watching last year. Sometimes doesn't even have a line, but he strikes such an impressive pose and even helps out choreographing Scottish dancing!

First heard of him thanks to that sample in PM Dawn's So On and So On. Everybody Loves... is a permanent playlister for me.
