This was different! As a play a little sluggish & sparse. On the other hand great performances and kept my attention. but was was more shocking was how empty the theater was! I felt badly for the actors!
Every time I see a clip of Donald Trump I think of Stephen Kings Dead Zone. Haunting
See sadly I itune these. I agree this is a top teir show.
Bravo
Quatermass & The Pitt; a story about a single minded British scientist joins a Pittsburg ER & teaches the team to stop being so emotional & focus on the science.
Currently on HBO Max
Oh - this is the best sci- fi since Babylon 5
It’s astonishing these still crop up! I remember Tomb of the Cybermen returning to us.
Do I know anyone who would want a region 1 dvd? Ordered by accident. Free to a good home
David Tennent was in a live version of Quatermass & was called Doctor just as he got the role.

Seconded
With all the renewed interest in 1953's Stolen Face thanks to the re-release on Hammer's own 4K disc set, recorded a few years ago, here's a chance to revisit Ben's musings on the subject and its wider cinematic outings from the sublime to the not so much...

I was with an American aunt last month. She was also apologising….
I had to reassure her that it wasn’t her country we hated- but we feared we could turn the same.
@generalwitch.bsky.social behold! The General Witchfinders bingo card. Fun for all the family (well maybe not Ross’s family).
Kip Williams Dracula is a wonderful staging of the classic story- no doubt but there is a lot to unpack! is it a film? A play? Or an audiobook? It put me very much in mind of Sir Christopher Lees reading of Jekyll & Hyde. If you enjoyed Dracula (and you should!) seek that out!
Ah: I can’t see it being the sort of film to win Oscars. Not that it isn’t great; but Oscar winners tend to be films…. That Arnt realy appealing to me (?) I dout Frankenstein will win anything this year.
It’s a great film
For those who know!
What I am up to
Trump has lost his mind. His speeches are insane, misspelled ravings about the 2020 election, filled with bad grammar and shotgun caps. If this guy were a mayor in Anytown, USA, he would be told politely but firmly to surrender the gavel and get medical help.
I have this exact thought a couple of times a day.
Moffat’s era was wonderful.
@labourshercule.bsky.social any thoughts on Seven Dails on Netflix?
Now the stranger things has finished: can we admit it was an update of Quatermass?
Thoughts and thank you.
Great episode. Thanks gents.
Not with three he can’t!
I’m 42 & can’t tie a bow tie.
The Room in the Tower. Another Gattis smasher
