  • Book review: Doctor Who: An Encyclopaedia of Companion Actors, by Dana Fox

    1 week ago | chrishallamworldview.wordpress.com | Chris Hallam

    Few Doctors can operate entirely alone and Doctor Who is no exception. Right from the moment of the famous Timelord’s very first outing in the Tardis back in 1963, he (or she) has always been accompanied by at least one, sometimes several human sidekicks. Some of the actors who have filled this role over the years such as Carole Ann Ford or Michael Craze remain largely unknown to all but the most dedicated Whovians even today.

    Nuns have a rather mixed record in films. Sometimes, they have been good (The Sound Of Music). Sometimes they have been bad (The Magdalene Sisters). Often they have been a mixture of the two (Black Narcissus), while just occasionally they have been portrayed as hysterical, rampaging sex maniacs (as in Ken Russell's The Devils).

  • Going Straight (Fletch lives!)

    2 months ago | comedy.co.uk | Chris Hallam

    Have you ever wondered what happens to our favourite sitcom characters after the final curtain falls? Did Basil and Sybil survive the final climactic discovery of a live rat on the premises of Fawlty Towers? Did Tom and Barbara manage to keep on living the good life into the Eighties? In most cases, we never get to find out. Happily, in the case of Slade Prison's most famous inmate, Norman Stanley Fletcher (Ronnie Barker), we soon got a definite answer.
