What were you thinking Ian Hislop with those glasses?
I am guessing that back in the 1980s that those kinds of glasses were fashionable…
Ian was a on TV programme talking about Spitting Image.
Have I Got News for Who
She Said, He Said
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.
Doctor Who at Christmas
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…
Asylum of the Daleks
Not long to wait now, 1st September sees the return of Doctor Who.

“the cafe on tv at weston super mare is it real”
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.
The Café
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.

Awake
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?
Back of a lorry
Amazing these days what you can find on the back of a lorry…
