Doctor Who: Remembering Those We Lost in 2022
#DoctorWho: Remembering Those We Lost in 2022
Christmas and New Year can be a sobering time — yes, it’s a celebration, bringing light to the darkness but the dark is still there, and we often turn our thoughts to those who have left us. Toby Hadoke has done a wonderful job revisiting the past 12 months and creating a memoriam, featuring the Doctor Who related people who have passed away in 2022. It’s sad to note that these deaths range…

Second City Firsts: Club Havana (BBC, 1975)
"When you have just arrived in a dangerous country like Birmingham, you got to examine all about you. You got to secure your rear. And you notice them carrying the bread, in their dirty hands and in the baby carriage!"
"It's a beautiful slum, like Kingston."
"What, sir? No. Kingston is blue and green! This is concrete and dogshit - and drizzle."
#second city firsts#club havana#single play#bbc#classic tv#barry reckord#pamela brighton#don warrington#mona hammond#julie walters#frank singuineau#alfred fagon#tara prem#most often referred to these days in terms of being the screen debut of national treasure julie walters#but that's a disservice to an urgent and challenging play that promotes black voices in an era which rarely did so on mainstream television#where SCF often concentrated (admirably) on emerging talents and new writers‚ Reckord was already a well established figure at this point#albeit with little success in television. as a stage writer‚ however‚ he'd been working since the mid 50s‚ often with his actor director#brother Lloyd. one significant success had been the Royal Court staging of Barry's play You in Your Small Corner‚ which granada had#adapted for tv in 1962 and which was long believed to feature the first interracial kiss on british television (it later emerged that the#earliest had in fact been in 1959 in play Hot Summer Night‚ tho interestingly it was Lloyd Reckord locking lips in both instances)#Reckord had also written a Play for Today in 72 but Club Havana was his third and final attempt at breaking into tv; he returned instead to#play writing and the stage for the rest of his life. as in Small Corner‚ this play concerns (although perhaps less centrally) an#interracial romance; it's tempting to look for elements of autobiography (Reckord was in a long and unconventional relationship with the#white novelist Diana Athill‚ and like his protagonist hailed from Kingston) but there's little to connect Walters' burnt out barmaid with#Athill's vibrant academic‚ nor in Don Warrington's teacherly ambitions (Reckord had been writing full time almost from his student days)#to the difficult relationship between a blinkered mother and naive son i can say less; regardless‚ Hammond gives a powerhouse performance#as she so often did. a challenging play as i said and comes with the caveat that the language used is often shocking to a modern audience#indeed I'm quite surprised at how much Reckord slipped past the bbc censors. but it feels genuine and human and it works#my mother caught some of this as i watched and did not enjoy: 'just a lot of shouting' was her summary. but hey sometimes that's life#and when a play works like real life it works well

Mona Hammond, a pioneering actor in Britain of Jamaican and Chinese heritage, has passed away aged 91.
In 1959 she won a scholarship to RADA and later co-founded the Talawa Theatre Group, to help address the "lack of creative opportunities for black actors and the marginalisation of black peoples from cultural processes".
She notably played Lady Macbeth in an all-black version of the Shakespeare play at the Roundhouse, London, in 1970 .
Her extensive work in British television dates back to 1964. In 2005 she was awarded an O.B.E. for services to drama...

Watch Free Full 10,000 BC
Tumblr media
Release Date : 03/05/2008 (US)Category : Adventure, Action, Drama, FantasyProduction : Country : USRate : Cast : Steven Strait,Camilla Belle,Cliff Curtis,Nathanael Baring,Mo Zinal,Affif Ben Badra,Mona Hammond,Marco Khan,Reece Ritchie,A prehistoric epic that follows a young mammoth hunter's journey through uncharted territory to secure the future of his tribe.A prehistoric epic that follows a young mammoth hunter's journey through uncharted territory to secure the future of his tribe.“10,000 BC” does not deserve its bad rap.It is not the worse reviewed film in director Roland Emmerich’s oeuvre (that distinction belongs to “Moon 44”), but it is perhaps his most infamous. “Boring” is a word that I often hear from casual moviegoers who have watched this flick. Indeed, I hear that adjective so frequently that “10,000 BC” has quickly become something even sadder than a guilty pleasure. I am sincerely ashamed of my affinity for this motion picture. If virtually everyone I know regards it as dull, what does it say about my taste that I enjoy it?A quick summary: “10,000 BC” is an action-adventure epic set in the prehistoric era. It centers the story on a tribe of hunter-gatherers known as the Yagahl and a brave warrior, D’Leh (Steven Strait), who seeks the hand of a lovely woman believed to be destined for greatness, Evolet (Camilla Belle). In a plot that twists and turns more than the film’s convoluted geography (more on that in a moment), D’Leh is forced to travel the world so he can rescue Evolet and many other Yagahl from evil horse-raiders. The subsequent journey is packed with the kinds of encounters one would expect in the most riveting B-movie fare, from needing to overthrow the imperial cult of an enigmatic enrobed Atlantean known as The Almighty (Tim Barlow) to attacks by velociraptor-like phorusrhacidae.How can a movie like this be regarded as boring?Stupid, I absolutely agree. Like most of Emmerich’s movies, “!0,000 BC” is an amalgamation of conspiracy theories, from the aforementioned idea that Atlantis was a real continent (it was actually a thought experiment from Plato’s “Critias”) to the belief that a single lost civilization was the progenitor to the known influential ancient ones (Egypt, Greece, Persia, etc.) Its narrative takes the protagonists from the Ural Mountains to the tropics of Southeast Asia to the pre-construction pyramids in Egypt. Nothing about the story makes any sense to any viewer with a passing knowledge of geography, climatology, history or even common sense. Then again, it is worth noting that most of Emmerich’s movies are absurd; this does not diminish one’s ability to enjoy, say, the Area 51-conspiracy theories underpinning “Independence Day.”The difference here, though, is that the
oining D’Leh and Evolet on a sweeping melodrama. I am not here to argue that “10,000 BC” should be anyone’s favorite movie. It certainly isn’t mine. (That distinction belongs to “Unbreakable.”) But it is a solidly good movie, a sincere Valentine to the best Stone Age fantasy fiction (Emmerich was inspired largely by his love of Jean-Jacques Annaud’s “Quest for Fire”) and a captivating travelogue. It is the reason why, on a four-star critics’ scale, the three-star review must exist. Watch free movies and tvshows on VidooTv

script seems to turn people off. All of the characters are two-dimensional and the dialogue is purely functional. Most will acknowledge that “10,000 BC” has a moving score (composed by Thomas Wander and Harold Kloser, the latter of whom also co-wrote the film with Emmerich) and lush cinematography (Ueli Steiger) filmed in Namibia, South Africa, Thailand and New Zealand. But how can one care about the pretty visuals when the underlying story is so blah?The key, I believe, is to not go into “10,000 BC” expecting sparkle. This is a somber epic, a tribute to the B-quality sword-and-sandal epics of the mid-20th century. Emmerich believes that this story has meaning, and as such levity is almost entirely scrubbed. (If you look closely, you will notice a brief testicular injury gag.) In a way, he isn’t wrong about that; the rudimentary narrative, told by a diverse cast and based on a number of cultures, is accessible to virtually everyone. The message is a noble one and broadly applicable, preaching the kind of universalist empathy that human beings should never do without. Along the way, the story keeps the action coming — mammoth hunts, navigating treacherous terrain, chucking spears at ominous baddies — and the viewer feels like they are j
