Awww, BBC's just announced that Tim Pigott-Smith has died http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-39526103 I had a big crush on his character when I was a little Boods, and the first time I saw Masque of Mandragora. I always thought Sarah Jane should have gone for him, and not the other drip.

It seems as if his death was rather sudden, as he was due to start a play on Monday, and has been filming a load of stuff, too.

PowerBuilder3 posted:So why did the puddle monster scream and rush at her then? Hey, I can travel across all space and time, and track people too, but I'm just no good as asking them to go with me? Or just bad writing, or some rule all monsters have to roar? Last week, I flew from Heathrow to Baltimore to stay with a good friend for the week (am still here in fact). I like her a lot, but after my experience crossing 'time and space' I greeted her in the airport with a howling scream whilst rushing at her. So maybe puddle-girl was just reacting from a combo of jetlag and dealing with the TSA of the space-time continuum. She has my sympathies if so.

Bicyclops posted:Please look for my Doctor Who episode, Doctor Whofangled and The Invisible Arps, starring Tamsin Grieg as the Doctor. with Dylan Moran as the Master and Bill Bailey as the Doctor's companion  MrL_JaKiri posted:As I'm on my way down south for a bit soon does anyone fancy a trip to the pub or something? I'm stuck in my lair on the south coast with about 40 exams this weekend  (which I'm powering through, no breaks, no excuses, to get the damned things out of my life...you know it's going to be a long session when the first one out of the pile contains this gem, 'The Gracchi had some reforms, things gradually happened, and then Julius Caesar.' Now there's a Doctor Who episode waiting to be written).

MrL_JaKiri posted:I plan approximately 5 years in advance; this'd be some time in June or July I hear you...I live so far into the future that I'm often grateful to discover what my far more competent past self has been up to, in terms of 'the moment has been prepared for' when a deadline does arrive! I might be recovered by then, if exam papers that aren't, in their entirety, 'The first thing you have to keep in mind about Rome was that they had a Republic' are the exception rather than the rule in this interminable pile. A day out at Gunwharf or the Mary Rose is becoming more and more attractive by the second. Jerusalem -- I've had more than a few essays that waffled for a sentence about 'the time of the monarchy' and then plunged straight into the Gracchi, as if really nothing of importance happened between 509 and 133 B.C. Oh except that Hannibal guy had some elephants. Speaking of elephants lumbering over the Alps -- iPlayer's been naughty the past few days: Cleretic posted:Damnit, are they finally cracking down on people accessing iPlayer by VPN? Nothing's playing when I try. Licence holder here -- iPlayer won't work on Firefox this morning, but played ok on IE. Looks as if it's been an issue for a couple of days (combined wth Virgin broadband throwing a rod and reducing our internet speed to dial-up speed, it's been a magical week to work from the house). Strange little episode...baddies who open, but don't move, their mouths to speak..hmmm. Ah well, if the Doctor was caught in a computer simulation, at least he didn't get his foot caught in a railway switch this time

Cleretic posted:EDIT: if it was literally David Tennant again I might be on board, as an actor he's really fun. But don't give me a white gangly suitman. If you ever get a chance to see him on stage, do so; Don Juan in Soho was a cracker. I'm also disappointed to see Capaldi go after such a good series this time around. I've been a fan since way back in his Local Hero and Lair of the Whte Worm Days, and it was a struggle sometimes to watch the episodes when Clara was the companion.

Lots of Tacitus Raptores orbis, postquam cuncta vastantibus defuere terrae, iam mare scrutantur: si locuples hostis est, avari, si pauper, ambitiosi, quos non Oriens, non Occidens satiaverit: soli omnium opes atque inopiam pari adfectu concupiscunt. auferre trucidare rapere falsis nominibus imperium, atque ubi solitudinem faciunt, pacem appellant (Tac., Agr. 30.4-5). My crappy translation: 'The robbers of the world...after they have destroyed swathes of land, then they devastate the sea. If their enemies are rich, then they [the Romans] are greedy. If their enemies are poor, then they enslave them. They are not satisfied with East nor West. They alone of all people crave desire as much as wealth. To plunder, to butcher, to rape -- they call it 'Empire'.....they create a desert, and call it peace'. It's a speech of a captured British king before the emperor in Rome; the Romans are so touched by it, they spare him and his family, although they make them live in a sort of house arrest in Rome after that. You can see matey from To the Manor Born all buttered up and giving the speech in I, Claudius as he plays the captured king Caractacus.

Open Source Idiom posted:I'm not sure it's the same thing as with Spare Parts, unfortunately. Yvonne only remembers her family because she's not actually converted. Her operation left her only partly lobotomised, thanks to a power outage, and her personality reverts to a childlike state. Ray Purchase is in for a surprise, then, the next time he gets home.
