"Mummy? Are you my Mummy?"

[Guest]

No me mention? And here, I immediately thought wrapped up and packaged, bondage style

Yeah, well, you're just a pervert.

Are they showing Doctor Who in Canada, then?

 

[Guest]

PS. I neither read the Brit tabloids, so if this is beyond the tampon thing? Nor do I watch cable .... so. I am clueless and thought this was sexual. The rest of everyone has not an excuse in sight.

Tabloids!? Pfft! How dare you even consider for one moment that I might read them. Blurgh! Anyway, this is about a programme on BBC1. One of the best, ever.

Thinking it might be something like this? I did edit my post to include (repeating ) I do not keep in touch with Charles and Camilla's sex life, nor do I have cable.

Edit again: sorry, LOL, We did for three episodes, 3 new ones, but they disappeared. Were on diff nights. Maybe summer season? There was a big promo though.

 

[Guest]

It was on the same day as my rugby games and I'd traditionally go out for some drinks with my teammates on those evenings.

What the hell is the thing with the mummy though? I'm intrigued now.

The Earl

Oh. Shame. I'm quite surprised you haven't watched it (but understandable, given rugby and beer. )

It's right up your alley, mate. As for the Mummy thing: VERY creepy. I hope J-L has taped both episodes, you'd really enjoy them.

Yes they do, they just started showing, my friend Cris loves it

I know. I got in quick, you didn't need to repeat.

 

[Guest]

Who guessed the twist before it was revealed?

Not me, nor my hubby, nor my eldest daughter. My seven year old daughter did, though. I keep getting her back for sussing it by walking towards her, slowly, and saying, "Mummy? Are you my Mummy?" She runs away and hides.

I thought it an English past time. You mean you don't know Madonna blew the new Pope?

She did? Poor bastard.

Anyway: NO WAY! I can't be doing with "celebrity" and all that bollocks.

Kewl!

Charley, get friggen' cable.

 

[CharleyH]

I had $130.00 in canadian cable once, and still rented $250.00 worth of movies. I weighed the options. As long as I get CSI, Cold Files the news and Law and Order, I am a happy camper. (Hm, I dont relish camping ) I think Guy Ritchie dressed as the Pope at a gig, btw. Between him and Harry, they might just might change a world perception of English men!

Blimey, that's lots of pences.

He did?! Well, good on him!

Doctor Who was really good tonight.
I don't think the colonials would appreciate his dry humour!

Indeed. Some would, but for most I think it would go straight over their heads.

Care to give me a synopsis then? I'm really curious now.

It's on BBC 3 right now, if you have it!

Yes, but I'm comfortable here.

Oh well. There's two episodes to it anyway, and this is the second one. Too much to give a good synopsis of, and way too much to explain, but it's set in London, during the blitz, and there's another time traveller involved. And, lots of zombie-type people wandering around, with gas masks actually fused to their faces (they become part of their faces) saying, "Mummy? Are you my Mummy?" and so on.

It's very chilling, but also very funny in places. Oh, and there's nanogenes (nanobots! ) involved.

Very good!

 

[TheEarl]

Just watched a replay on BBC 3. Quite creepy, although I have to say that Christopher Eccleston is such an overactor. "Everybody lives!"

Christ, that was worth than "They slaughtered the younglings!"

Harry... *drool*

And Draco's getting pretty hot, too.

 

[Bishonen]

Who's Draco?
I thought the other guy was called William?

Although this whole "Everybody lives" scene might have been a bit overdone by Eccleston ... he is bloody great as the doctor.

And kendo1 and Lou are right ... thats no series for the US. They'd just wouldn't get most of the humor. Which reminds me of that brilliant double-episode about that alien invasion. "There are massive weapons of destruction" ... .

CA

P.S: Uh ... english is not my mother tongue ... but isn't it "worse than" rather than "worth"?

It is 'worse than'. Revision is causing brain frying and unexplained typos.

The couple of episodes I've seen (this one, the Dickens one and the spaceship crashes into Parliament one) have had significant moments of overacting from Eccleston. He's good, but it feels like every now and again he can't work out exactly how a certain line should be said, so he resorts to the Mecury philosophy of "Anything worth doing is worth overdoing."

The 'everybody lives' bit I was referring to was not when he got onto the TARDIS (cause that bit was quite good), but the first time when he throws the nanogenes at the infected people and yells it for no apparent reason. Another example was where he was bouncing off the walls about 'sending it to its room.' Not sure if it's bad writing or bad acting, but to my mind the Doctor should have more dignity that that.

Loved the throwaway line about "I'm so glad that worked. Those would've been terrible last words" though.
