The Mary Whitehouse Experience

The Mary Whitehouse Experience

The main ground floor atrium of the Buffalo Wings Research and Development Centre in East Herefordshire was light, spacious, and currently empty. The rays of the afternoon sun flooded through a generous panel of windows spanning most of the length of the room, which was about half the size of a football pitch and a lot less muddy. Ornate columns of off-white marble stood near the glass staircase…

The Fendahl Files: An Interview with David Gooderson, Davros in Destiny of the Daleks

The Fendahl Files: An Interview with David Gooderson, Davros in #DoctorWho Destiny of the Daleks

Frank and Simon Danes conducted this interview in 1981, when they were just starting in the sixth form, and David Gooderson was appearing at Worthing’s Connaught Theatre in Time and the Conways. He very generously gave his time to meet two schoolboys backstage at the theatre and chat about his time in Doctor Who. We met him again when he was a guest last year at Bedford Who Charity Con, 43 years…

Du Barry Was a Lady (Roy Del Ruth, 1943) Cast: Red Skelton, Lucille Ball, Gene Kelly, Virginia O'Brien, Rags Ragland, Zero Mostel, Donald Meek, Douglass Dumbrille, George Givot, Louise Beavers, Tommy Dorsey. Screenplay: Nancy Hamilton, Irving Brecher, based on a play by Herbert Fields and Buddy G. DeSylva. Cinematography: Karl Freund. Art direction: Cedric Gibbons. Film editing: Blanche Sewell. Music: Daniele Amfitheatrof, songs by Cole Porter, Burton Lane, Ralph Freed, Roger Edens, E.Y. Harburg. Costume design: Gile Steele. Natalie Kalmus must have been in heaven. The ex-wife of Technicolor founder Herbert Kalmus, and the contract-designated "color supervisor" for any film using the process (as well as the bane of any directors or cinematographers who wanted to do it their own way), was surely delighted when MGM chose Red Skelton and Lucille Ball to star in Du Barry Was a Lady, thereby ensuring that Technicolor's most vivid hue, red, would be on display throughout the film. Ball's hair stylist, Sydney Guilaroff, even devised a new red hair dye for the star, one that she would continue to use -- even to make jokes about -- for the rest of her career. The movie itself is nonsense, one of MGM's second-string musicals, based on a Broadway hit that had starred Bert Lahr and Ethel Merman, but jettisoning not only its stars but also most of Porter's songs. Before it gets to the central gimmick -- Skelton accidentally gets slipped a mickey and dreams he's back in the court of Louis XV -- it's a string of night club routines, including a trio of singers who imitate the famous but now-forgotten big bands of the day, but also featuring one of the best big bands, Tommy Dorsey and His Orchestra. Skelton mugs a lot, but Zero Mostel, cast as a fortune-teller, mugs even more. At least Gene Kelly, the nominal romantic lead, gets to dance a bit. Ball was still in that stage of her career in which nobody seemed to know what to do with a beautiful woman who was also a gifted clown. Her best moments in the film come when she gets to do her clowning, as in a sequence in which Skelton (as Louis XV) chases her (as Madame DuBarry) around a bedroom and across a trampoline disguised as a bed. She also gets some funny moments in the film's closing number, Porter's "Friendship," goofing around with the rest of the cast. (It's also the one number in which her own singing voice is heard; the rest of the time she's dubbed by Martha Mears.) This is one of those movies for which the fast-forward button on the remote control was designed: Skip anything savoring of plot, most of the tedious mugging, the calendar-girl fashion show, but stop for the Dorsey numbers, the Kelly dances, and any time Ball is allowed to show what she did best.

hii, I was wondering if you have any actor/celebrity/model etc in mind when you picture Snape and Lily? I know some people don’t even imagine faces while reading and some only visualize little bits of it, but idk :) I’ve always had a bit of trouble imagining what Lily would look like besides the red hair and green eyes but I saw a fanedit of Shiv Roy last night on tiktok and now my brain has settled on her lol but I’m curious to know your answer, specially on Snape! Ty xx <3

I really dig Adrien Brody as Snape; he's got the body and the face structure.

like, c'mon dude, that's fucking snape right there.

for Lily I don't have anyone specific but I do dig the TikTok fancast Sophie Skelton a LOT. I headcanon Lily with curlier hair but I think Sophie is a great fit. A couple of years ago Karen Gillan was the fandom's Lily and I didn't like her at all. Early on I really liked Evangeline Lilly as Lily Evans but with red hair.

Lily is hard because of the eyes; also Lily is like, this Sacred Mother Figure in canon and She-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named's description of Lily is like.... does this person actually exist LOL. but yeah!

Adrien Brody as Snape is the best and you can pry this from my cold, dead hands.

Doctor Who Month :Evil of the Daleks

For the 8th review of Doctor Who month we shall look at a Second Doctor story and a Dalek story to boot

So the Doctor (Patrick Troughton) and Jaimie McCrimmon (Frazer Hines ) are brought to Victorian England after the TARDIS is stolen ,and forced to help the Doctors most dreaded foes the Daleks in an experiment to fins "The human factor "

Also this is a lost story but in 2021 we got an animated recreation of it with the original audio .It was animated in both black and white and color ,but the color version was the one on Vudu ,which is where I watched this

So this story is damn good ,like this is one of the best Dalek stories cause it really is about the Doctor trying to show how the nobler sides of mankind are better then the Daleks blind obedience and hatred .The result s of the experiment are also great as we get these child like inquisitive Daleks who are kind of adorable ,that leads to the Doctor leading a Dalek rebellion against the Dalek emperor .Props to the Daleks voice actors Roy Skelton and Peter Hawkins who are especially good as both the sinister bully Daleks and the sweet somewhat silly Daleks the Doctor makes . Also the Dalek Emperor is a friggin awesome bad guy

I like that the story switches its style and setting around.Its starts off in the 60's with kind of an intrigue and mystery vibe ,before we get to the Victorion mansion and he was a bit of an old dark house story with a creepy feel ,and then end on an epic battle between the Daleks on Skaro

This is a great episode for Jaimie,really showing why he is one of my favorite companions ,getting to befriend a strong mute guy named Kemel (Another one of those guest characters I kind of wish became a companion,because I loved his relationship with Jaimie and he was so badass .Better companion then Victoria ) and gets to swordfight one of the bad guys .The Doctor is also really great here ,as you really arent sure if you can trust him here ...Also him playing with the childlike Daleks is adorable

Theres so many fun guest characters in this one but the standouts are the two victorian gentlemen who accidently made contact with the Daleks .John Bailey does a wonderful job as Edward Waterfield,father of Victoria(Who becomes a companion at the end of the story ) ,in that you think he is a villain but he is the most tragic character in the tale .The best part is our human antagonist Theodore Maxtible played by a pretty big name,Marius Goring (Best known for A Matter of Life And Death and the Red Shoes ) ,and I like that while he does have moments of mania ,Goring doesnt chew scenery much ,and in fact while by Gorings casting I guessed he might be a bad guy I wasnt entirely sure how ad he would be,and at firs he seems somewhat reasonable ,but by the end we see he is a monster especially when you find out his whole motive .One of my favorite one off villains in Doctor Who

In terms of animation ,I think this is one of the best reconstructions ,there are some clunky moments ,but I was really impressed with the character animation and the final showdown near the end

If I have a complaint,one is I think Kemel and Maxtibles fates are underwhelming and the other is a general I dont like Victoria as a companion

Overall....This is a great watch ,highly recoomended ,its tied with The Aztecs as my favorite of the month

Du Barry Was a Lady (Roy Del Ruth, 1943)

Cole Porter would write a song about anything wouldn't he? And Hollywood would just throw any old extra performances and technicolor over the top of his musicals and call it a movie. Such a hodgepodge of elements, seemingly thrown up in the air and falling in place in the wrong way. Red Skelton's your leading man, not Gene Kelly (and Lucille Ball, not Virginia O'Brien)? But entertainment was the goal of the day, through any way possible. Some of the musical performances were good and i did enjoy seeing Buddy Rich drum solo in an habit à la française.

Season 4

The Tenth Planet

The TARDIS arrives at a base at the South Pole in 1986, just as an orbital probe spots the arrival of Earth's long-lost twin planet, Mondas. With energy from Earth being rapidly siphoned off by Mondas, the planet's natives are only too happy to help save the Earthlings, but at a terrifying cost: The loss of their humanity, becoming something new - Cybermen.

And so we come to the end of William Hartnell's run as the Doctor. It's no secret at this point that he was in ill health and kept forgetting/flubbing his lines, but what a note to go out on, bringing in classic monsters that can finally go toe-to-toe with the Daleks in popularity. It's not the fastest moving story, the pace can flag a lot, especially in the third part in my opinion, but at four episodes, it's at just the right length.

Let's talk about the Cybermen here. I remember a time not so long ago, when it was trendy to dunk on these early Cybermen because of how big and bulky they were, how strange they looked and sounded. Of course, since then, they have been re-evaluated as being scary all along, and I'm glad this is so. Modern Cybermen tend to look a bit TOO robotic; I quite like when you can see hints of the human remaining underneath the metal and plastic. It makes you wonder what's really left, and these are the clearest examples of that idea in a fully converted Cyberman, since they still have human hands and even visible eyes under the masks. As for the voices, Roy Skelton returns, providing that famous slightly buzzing sing-song tone, like a machine trying to sound like a human, trying to replicate those natural rhythms of speaking, but not grasping how to. Couple that with the cold, detached attitudes the Cybermen have, as well as their slow lumbering zombie-ish gait and sheer size - seriously, they're enormous here, it's no wonder they're sometimes called the Silver Giants - and they're instantly unforgettable, creating an imposing presence even in animated form.

Not always the most exciting story, but absolutely essential, giving us an iconic foe, and the first regeneration, a brilliant idea that reshaped the show, the Doctor, and is one reason why it has endured for over 60 years. Don't miss it.

Next time: The Power of the Daleks!
