I'm really really going to miss Tennant though, he was extremely talented at what he does.

Aye, I think if McAvoy played the Doctor he could easily overshadow Ten(at least for me). I was always a Nine girl, myself, but I'd gladly switch to be a follower of Eleven if it were James McAvoy playing him. Though, personally, I think they ought to find someone ginger to play the part...

If James McAvoy was the Dr - I might start watching it. Ive never been an enormous fan of Dr Who for some reason.
But I adored McAvoy in Wanted - I paid to see it twice

PS. And to all who got to see Hamlet - I'm green. GREEN ::sobs::
|
I wonder if they filmed it? I'd like to see it, too - of course, even if they did film it, I don't know where I would actually see it - what channel that I have would be likely to show it? - but still, it would then be a possibility. And Hamlet is my favourite Shakespeare play (of those I've seen) and with the praise Lucy Coats has lavished on it, I'm really curious. (Of the Hamlets I've seen I like the BBC version best, with Derek Jacobi as Hamlet and Patrick Stewart as the villain.)
Why, I feel all thin, sort of stretched, if you know what I mean, like butter that has been scraped over too much bread.

- but goodness knows when - if - it will be shown on any channel I've got - including BBCPrime... (Sigh - I think their schedules have become worse and worse - and I've stopped thinking they can't get worse than they are, because then they change their schedulling again - and lo and behold! - it's worse...Deep sigh)

It will probably be up on the internet for downloading for free within 24 of showing in the UK
I have asked my flatmate to keep an eye out for it (he downloads all the TV I watch - I am completely up to date with all my series in the States - if a day behind.)

I've just watched the first two episodes of Wives and Daughters and thought it was pretty good although the end was depressing thank God there is more episodes!
|
I really liked Wives and Daughters (barring a few minor things), but liked North and South better (in spite of the silliness at the end...). Have you seen North and South?
Edit: Of course I mean the BBC series based on Elizabeth Gaskell's novel - not the '80 series! Goodness, it suddenly struck me - and except that they are both set in the 19th century...

Well I caught the beginning of North and South but I have not seen the end yet. What I did see of it though, I liked well enough.

There are only 3 shows I watch with any regularity - all on Monday night within the space of 2 hours.
Big Bang Theory - because I love the nerd/geek humor which it is based around
How I Met Your Mother - because of Neil Patrick Harris... also because I love the dynamics of the group of friends and the pacing of the show with the heavy-handed use of flashbacks during conversations.
and Heroes - because I love me a show about superheroes/mutants! It's like X-Men except they don't have a school/support system. It's also epic and convoluted like LOST was...
There are also shows that I try to catch whenever I remember they are on:
House
Law&Order(especially SVU, because Mariska Hargitay is my role model...)
Stargate: Atlantis
MASH
Knight Rider

Soon it will have to be Stargate Universe. I can't believe they're shutting Atlantis down, but they are.

It was so funny a couple weeks ago when Mom pulled out the original Stargate movie. She commented, "They had no idea what they were starting, did they?". It's amazing, when you think about how many years the original was on and then the spin-off. I think Stargate has had a nice long run... Of course, now I want to buy all the seasons of both shows... someday I'll watch all of Stargate... someday...

I have all the seasons of Stargate SG1. You can buy them all together for a pretty good price. And yes, I have watched them all.

Is that why Stargate started on Showtime, disappeared, then popped up on Scifi? I always wondered if there was a legal battle.

Bruce Springsteen's new music video. <3
And then The Sarah Connor Chronicles, sometime in the near future. Apparently it's being moved into the Friday Night Deathslot, along with Whedon's Dollhouse. *sigh* Between this and the cancellation of Pushing Daisies, it makes me really not want to get invested in a show.
I could never get into Heroes (or Lost, because the plot stuff), despite (or maybe because?) how much I love the X-Men. I'd rather read a good comic anyway.

Actually the filmmakers were furious, because they wanted to make sequels and the TV show pre-empted that. So Stargate TV should never have happened. (Talking about sequels....)

How very interesting! I didn't know that!
Well, I'm glad for the TV show. It is most beloved of all TV shows. There's nothing that Jack and Daniel banter can't cure. (Okay, a broken leg, maybe, but you know what I mean.) I liked RDA Jack better than mopey what'shisface Jack.

The first episode of three of the BBC's new dramatisation of some of the detective stories by Henning Mankell, about the detective Kurt Wallander.
The books, translated from Swedish, are growing increasingly popular here and the BBC obviously thought it was worth getting options on them. Kenneth Branagh played the Wallandar character and I thought did it rather well. The production values were good and I gather (my husband has long been a fan of the books) that the story was dealt with well - though it was perhaps rather gory. At least there were none of those incredibly annoying flashing lights between scene changes that have been around the last few years, or quasi-realite hand-held camera stuff.
I shall look forward to the next episode, next Sunday.

This is something I've been very curious about. I haven't read the novels, but I have seen a few Swedish dramatisations and am curious how they will compare. And no one does crime like the BBC...

Dollhouse is a series done by Joss Whedon, who also did Buffy, Angel and Firefly--some of the best TV ever.
