She Said, He Said: A Prequel to The Name of the Doctor.
Should be a good episode. It was in the news that the DVDs containing the final episode were sent out three weeks early to some US people. Might need to avoid some spoilers.
At Christmas we will have Doctor Who and he will be in Victorian London. Here is the prequel.
I’ve always thought that a spin off series based on Madam Vastra (she’s the Silurian (lizard person)) would be very interesting. A period drama with sic-fi overtones, almost steampunk. Certainly not something you see much of on television now.
Here is the trailer for the Christmas episode.
Not sure about the monsters…
Not long to wait now, 1st September sees the return of Doctor Who.
Noticed in the blog stats one of the search terms used that resulted in someone finding my blog was
the cafe on tv at weston super mare is it real
I suspect my recent blog post on the filming of The Café was the reason Google directed them to my blog.
There is no real Cyril’s, it’s a fabrication, just a set, but they do film in Weston-super-Mare.
The café building itself is just a set, it’s not a real café dressed at Cyril’s but a set built for filming and when done, it’s broken down and taken away until the next season (if one is commissioned) is filmed.
This evening they were filming down on Weston-super-Mare seafront for the Sky series, The Café.
This is a comedy that is shown on Sky.
Funny, touching and a little bit romantic, too, The Café is a brilliant new comedy from director Craig Cash, and co-writers and stars Ralf Little and Michelle Terry. The Café is a sweet sitcom based in Cyril’s in Weston-super-mare. Run by three generations of women, gran Mary, divorcee Carol and daughter Sarah (played by Michelle Terry who co-wrote The Café with Ralf Little), Cyril’s sees all sorts on the seaside front, from gobby hairdressers to living statue Kieran. Meanwhile Sarah meets up with old sweetheart, Richard (Ralf) who has hopes of re-kindling their romance.
Of course there is no real Cyril’s, it’s a fabrication, just a set, but they do film in Weston-super-Mare.
Apart from the awful rain coming down, which I guess they weren’t expecting, if they planned to film in July, what they did have was a high tide…
You could actually see the sea in Weston-super-Mare (aka by the sea).
Normally, because of the extremely high tidal range, you rarely see the sea all the way up the beach. The pier is usually never “in” the water and all you can see is sand and mud.
Want to watch the original series of Star Trek, but don’t have the time?
Why not watch all the episodes in one go!
Star Trek: The Original Series (Remastered), Season 1 – Star Trek: The Original Series (Remastered)
Star Trek: The Original Series (Remastered), Season 2 – Star Trek: The Original Series (Remastered)
Star Trek: The Original Series (Remastered), Season 3 – Star Trek: The Original Series (Remastered)
This new series starring Jason Isaacs, Awake, looks interesting. It premieres on the 1st March, but here is the first seven minutes…
It has echoes of Life on Mars but set in the present day. Not sure about the American accent either…
So is this a dream?
Amazing these days what you can find on the back of a lorry…
New trailer for the Doctor Who episode this Christmas.
Nice.
The Doctor, The Widow and the Wardrobe – The Eleventh Doctor Christmas Specials
A quick happy birthday to Doctor Who which is 48 years old today.
It was November 23rd 1963 when the programme first came to our screens, I don’t think anyone at the time thought that nearly fifty years later that it would still be the highlight for many people on a Saturday night in front of the television.
Even when it was cancelled in 1989 I wasn’t expecting to see it ever return, more so after the failure of the joint version with Fox. Since it came back in 2005 (was that really six years ago now) I have enjoyed all the series and think the BBC have done a really good job. I do enjoy the programme and am looking forward to the Christmas special.
