Reviewed: Doctor Who Season 13 - My Lucky Day

Reviewed: #DoctorWho Season 13 - My Lucky Day

I’ve always felt that, although there are many Doctors whose first season was their finest, Tom Baker’s first three seasons were his finest work in the part, and Season 13 saw the ultimate team of producer, Phillip Hinchcliffe; Script Editor, Robert Holmes; and stars Tom Baker and Elisabeth Sladen (Sarah Jane Smith) in their prime. They’re magnificent throughout these stories.

The added bonus…

CASH ON DEMAND 1961, England. Hammer Films. 84 min. Scr. David T. Chantler, Lewis Greifer. Dir. Quentin Lawrence In this stunningly suspenseful noir take on “A Christmas Carol, ” Peter Cushing (in perhaps the finest performance of his long career) plays a Scrooge-like bank manager caught in a deadly game of cat-and-mouse with a charming and merciless thief (an equally great Andre Morell) who’s devised a devious plan for a holiday heist. Known mainly for its horror films, this is one of the greatest movies ever produced by Britain’s legendary Hammer Films. The perfect antidote to Yuletide schmaltz!

Alfred Burke creeps around uncredited, as mysterious chauffeur Heinrich, in 1963 thriller The Man Who Finally Died

#fave spotting #alfred burke #the man who finally died #public eye #frank marker #@thisbluespirit #(i know you like to see his face)#alas he has no closeups #and as mentioned isn't even credited‚ tho his character is called Heinrich in dialogue #actually quite a lot of the cast go uncredited in this‚ even those (like alfie) who have more than one scene and get actual dialogue #just the key players are named in the opening titles #like quite a few other british films of this era this was based on a short tv serial‚ also written by the films writer Lewis Greifer and #produced by ATV in 1959; of that series the only returning cast member was Nigel Green‚ who'd actually played the role Alfie #does here on tv‚ but was promoted to a slightly larger supporting part for the film. according to wiki (ikr‚ but why would they lie..) the #series actually exists in the archives in its entirety! alas.. we'll probably never get to see it‚ particularly now network have gone #speaking of‚ i had actually seen this before some years ago but when the news came thru about network this was one of the things i decided #to try and pick up before the stock is all gone; i was tempted to the blu ray release both for the chance to see Alfie in hd (albeit #briefly) and bc one of the extra features is a fascinating sounding episode of Drama 64 starring Stanley Baker #more on that i suspect when i get round to watching it

Special Branch: Borderline Case (2.8, Thames, 1970)

"Yes, now look - Peters is no fool. He's not just some echo, mouthing phrases. I mean, that man's got a mind. Don't forget, he came down from university with a law degree."

"Yes sir, I, I, I do know that. I've uh. I've read a book or two myself, y'know."

It's a curious ep of SB in that our regulars mostly #Take a back seat and so does the plot: really this is a character study of a previously unseen SB officer played by Harries #There is a plot (Dock side antagonism and worker agitation) but the story is more interested in depicting the unique pressures and strains #That the officers are put under. As the increasingly paranoid undercover man Harries gives one of the best guest performances of the series #But to his credit Mackay works hard in his few scenes too. The final confrontation between Mackay and Harries is really quite brilliant and #Is the reason this stuck in my head; Mackay is wonderful as he simultaneously displays fury betrayal and pity. Jordan is mostly on the #Sidelines and Moxon is nowhere to be seen so very much a filler episode. But the good kind of filler where they try something slightly #Different and pull it off #I wonder where Keith Washington has gone. This would have been the perfect opportunity to write him out.
