Alfre Woodard on Crooklyn (1994) for R29:
“To my knowledge, we hadn’t seen a Black family that was just presented as we are in life, as human beings,” Woodard said. “I get told in Belgium by white Belgians ‘I love Crooklyn, it reminds me of growing up.’ Which is what happens when you tell a story from a specific point of view, you don’t have to mention race. You didn’t get up this morning like ‘I’m a black woman that wants a cup of coffee.’ You just want a cup of coffee. It was us as we are. Just us being fabulous, complex, funny, delightful, and making ends meet. And seeing, even within that story, that we’re not monolithic...The specificity is what makes it universal. Diversity is not the point; showing reality is the point.”

I dare not be presumptuous and introduce this robot.
But if you must know
A steel body and an electronic brain
Silencing tears and bringing tears to the silent
Jet Jaguar Takes the stage!

Behind the Scenes of The Star Beast - Part Two
Excerpt from Benjamin Cook’s Star Beast Set Visit in DWM 597:
Phones up, everywhere. But it’s not just the extras playing their parts. It’s almost midnight, but 50 or so dedicated fans are still braving the elements, to witness TV history – 18 months early, a sneak peek of the Fourteenth Doctor. One of them’s filming it on an iPad. Some post pics on their socials. In between downpours (“Gotta watch David’s hair,” says Scott. The Doctor’s quiff is wilting in the rain), the Doctor Who crew scroll Twitter, to see the backs of their heads online, almost in real time.
“Of course word got round,” says Catherine, “and there’s a crowd. They’re not supposed to be seeing it, and you’re trying to hide it from them – because you want to keep the surprises, as much as you can – but it does feel like quite an event, for sure. It’s flattering, isn’t it? But you’ve got to stay focused.”
“On the one hand, you’re delighted that people are interested and enthusiastic,” agrees David. “On the other, you’d like to be able to film it all in absolutely secrecy, if you could… because when plot details leak out, that’s always a shame. But you have to just accept that, sadly. It is what it is. It would be churlish to complain.”
A huge THANK YOU to everyone who posted set photos (credit to hat for the one in this post)
