Anything from House over Castle, Ashes to Ashes… random stuff that won’t necessarily become regular blogging material. But it might.
Huh?
To be quite honest with you, I’m still giggling. According to the Internet buzz this afternoon, Johnny Lee Miller—who took turns with Benedict Cumberbatch last year, both starring in the National Theatre production of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein—is going to appear alongside Lucy Liu in CBS’ version of 21st-century Holmes. Now, guess who’s playing who. Continue reading
Sit tight for Best Actor, Ben’s got a chance, so does Matt, of course. Also, Philip Glenister, that would be lovely!
UPDATE: Um, actually, none of them won, either. David Jason is the lucky winner—good man! Continue reading
Oh, CRUMPETS. This is Christmas Smithmas. Lots of Doctor Who trivia, great chemistry between Matt, Chris, and Craig, and crazy discussions about meeting Tiffany in Vegas. Matt said this was his first US late night talk show, and I say: Good on ya! ’cause being on Craig’s first gives you such an insane experience that everything after that will be awfully tedious, but a piece of cake.
I was really glad that Matt seemed to geniunely enjoy it, ’cause Craig’s so lovely and such a Doctor Who nut, and I love them both, and now they love each other.
Thanks to Mal, we can watch yesterday’s Late Late Show ‘Doctor Who’ special on youtube. So… DO IT!
It’s amazing. Sadly, they couldn’t do the theme tune mash in the opening. FIVE MINUTES BEFORE THE SHOW THEY TOLD THEM THEY DIDN’T HAVE LEGAL CLEARANCE. Seriously, someone needs to leak this. PLEEEEAAAASE!
But we now know that Chris, Craig, and Matt have a band called ‘Three Octopuses and an Otter.’ What more could we want?
So, yes, he said ‘dangerous’, and here we are.
This is a review of the 2002 production of Sherlock with James D’Arcy and Vincent D’Onofrio; in which Sherlock’s past is illuminated, the beginning of his career as a consulting—or, as he calls himself in this film, private—detective. It’s made of spoilers, reader discretion is advised. Continue reading
Actually, I didn’t want to blog about the ending of Ashes to Ashes, since there are so many more wonderful pieces already out there (UPDATE: Ian Wylie’s extras for his interview with writer Matthew Graham. Woot!), but there’s this one thing I can’t keep my hands off; so please, bear with me after the jump. Continue reading
THEY DIDN’T.
In this season’s finale, A Deadly Game, that aired on abc last night, the titular character and his “inspiration”, Detective Kate Beckett, were meant to assess and confront their feelings for each other.
Everyone: Yaaay!
And they did! Except Castle was stupid enough to take off into vacation with his ex-wife.
Everyone: D’oh! Or, more poignantly: Castle, you dumbass! Continue reading
While, erm, slightly obsessing about BBC’s smashing successes Life on Mars and its follow-up Ashes to Ashes, I read some interviews — for example, the following ones, all conducted by Ian Wylie; with Keeley Hawes who plays DI Alex Drake (he posted extras to it on his blog), and with Philip Glenister who plays gorgeous DCI Gene Hunt (again, extras as well). I’d already watched a few episodes of Spooks, but I never got around to watching any other productions featuring Philip Glenister. Terribly ashamed of myself, I took a good look and found: Demons, first aired in 2009. (Beware: Spoilers ahead! If you haven’t watched it yet, but want to, you might want to come back afterwards. This is a review, not an imdb synopsis.) Before I go into detail, Continue reading
Alright, question: How could you not love, scratch that, adore to just imagine such a thing. No audience, no fancy stuff, just a Scottish-now-American-citizen (still with the loveliest Scottish accent!) and a brilliant the-quintessential-Englishman (made of tweed and with a brain the size of Kent) talking about whatever comes to mind. I, for one, could listen to them hours, even days, on end. I’d probably forget to eat and drink, let alone sleep, but, Stu, what does it matter?
(By the way, I also absolutely enjoy the usual programme Craig puts on every night, but, talking about television programme experiences, this experiment must have been the best thing that’s happened to me in years.)
Click HERE to get to the following parts of the session. UPDATE: Actually, no. Because youtube was barmy enough to suspend Malinky2Stoatir’s account. SERIOUSLY? Anyway. Waiting for news.
Click HERE to get to the following parts of the session that were re-uploaded by Mal. UPDATE 2: And HERE to get to Malinky’s rebuilding channel. YEAH!
