Doctor Who

[bennet_7]

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! This is going to be relevant to very few people but Lee Ross, who played the Boatswain on tonight's episode of Doctor Who, was actually on Steven Moffat's very first TV series and my favourite show ever, Press Gang! He played Kenny Phillips ("I am so sweet and loveable, cuddly toys just sneer at me") who was assistant editor and best friend to Lynda Day ("..devious, unfeeling, calculating, manipulative bitch.")

I am flailing! If Moffat's not going to do the long-promised Press Gang reunion show, then the least he can do is cast the actors on Doctor Who.

That's it. My annual Press Gang rewatch starts today!

Horrible confession: I didn't recognise him until he was briefly interviewed in Confidential.

It's a shame that some of my favourite PG actors don't appear to be acting nowadays (Joanna Dukes, Kelda Holmes, Ciri O'Neal). But it would certainly be a shame if Dexter Fletcher, Julia Sawalha and Paul Reynolds don't put in appearances. And Angela Bruce and David Collings - okay they were in classicWho, but that just means they're long overdue another showing.

For shame! ;)

Did they bring up the PG connection in Confidential? I never download it.

Hi, I'm not sure what happened between last night and today, but suddenly your journal has some holiday motif going on and your posts are squeezed over on the right now and when rereading your Inception costume post I noticed suddenly you can't see big chunks of the right side of your pictures and I'm so glad I saved a copy last night so I can still see all the clothes. I just thought you might like to know this styling has affected it. Just fyi.

It's just me, messing around with my layout. Sorry if it's making the post difficult to read! I'll have it sorted soon.
