yep that's correct starts around 1858 and charts the fall of the german,austrian and russian royal families up to 1918 I'd never heard of the series before and only stumbled across it on Amazon while looking for some thing else.

Not Whospotting exactly, but my boss & his wife have been invited to a party at Paul (Graff Vynda-K) Seed's place this weekend. I only know because my boss was having his hair cut on Friday, per strict wifely instructions, and also because he got me to brief him. I told him that Iain Cuthbertson was in the same story, so he may drop that into the conversation if things lag!!

Curnow, to meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Christine Adams, who played Cathica in 'The Long Game', just popped up in the latest episode of 'Heroes' (S4 05)....!

Just noticed on IMDB that her career seems to be doing well, stateside, as she's also had roles in Pushing Daisies & Lie To Me.

Colin Baker is on BBC 1 Doctors at the moment playing a professor.

Anne Reid was on Breakfast News this morning from the location of her new series in Dewsbury (rather her than me) and saying how wonderful it was to be filming in the North again.

And she's brought a straw.

We've just been watching Simon Pegg, Penelope Wilton and Jessica Stevenson (Hynes) in the mighty and wonderful film, Shaun of the Dead.

Aimée Delamain (The Two Doctors), Hilary Minster (Planet of the Daleks/Genesis of the Daleks), Guy Siner (Genesis of the Daleks), Carmen Silvera (Celestial Toymaker/Invasion Dinosaurs) and John D. Collins (Arc of Infinity) are all in 'Allo 'Allo on BBC1 right now.

...On sunday I spotted the auto-guard control panel from The Ark in Space in Live and Let Die. Does that count?

**Rob McCow** · 20th Oct 2009, 9:23 AM

Oh most definitely! Now - do you think that Doctor Who pinched it from James Bond, or vice versa?

The Doctor Who opening (Tom Baker version) appeared in Synth Britannia which I watched last night.

**shada pavlova** · 20th Oct 2009, 1:14 PM

Well, DW pinched it from Gerry Anderson's puppet shows in the first place, and LALD only came out in '77, so I'd say Bond is the ultimate pincher.

**Logo Polish** · 20th Oct 2009, 1:35 PM

Live And Let Die was 1973. It was Moore's first Bond film.

**shada pavlova** · 20th Oct 2009, 3:00 PM

Whoops.

**Logo Polish** · 20th Oct 2009, 5:26 PM

Ah well. No worries.

**Stuart Wallis** · 20th Oct 2009, 5:52 PM

Roy Stewart was in Live And Let Die as well.

**Perry Vale** · 20th Oct 2009, 6:45 PM

I spotted a photo of the throne room from 'Four To Doomsday' in a little CBBC piece the other day (with a kid telling the viewers how he'd like to make Mars habitable).....

And also think I 'spotted' a new ad voiceover from Billie Piper, and can add that to David Morrissey's new McDonalds ad....

**Jon Masters** · 20th Oct 2009, 7:08 PM

I had an exam board run course in London today....in the shadow of Torchwood 1 (and guess who forgot to take his camera

)

Captain Tancredi · 21st Oct 2009, 10:44 PM

While flicking through the satellite channels in my Vilnius hotel room, I caught a glimpse of Burn Gorman on one of the Russian channels although whether it was for Torchwood or not I couldn't tell.

Ever more tenuous, today at work we were discussing the molybdenum content in a delivery of EN31 steel. And tomorrow morning I've got to ring up one of our customers, a Mr Graham Williams.

**Simon R** · 21st Oct 2009, 11:50 PM

That David Morrissey McDonald's advert is hell on earth to listen to.

Someone give him a slap when he comes passing by...

Pip Madeley · 26th Oct 2009, 2:26 PM

David Sibley (Pirate Planet) and Simon Pegg (Long Game) were in the Bottom movie 'Guest House Paradiso' last night.

I've been watching the 1997 adaptation of Fielding's 'Tom Jones' recently, which includes (in no particular order) Sylvester McCoy as a crooked lawyer, Camille Coduri in an important role, Ron Cook as Tom's confidant, Roger Lloyd Pack as a quondam highwayman and I suppose we can now include Lindsay Duncan as Lady Bellaston.

That's not forgetting Peter Capaldi as a predatory rake and Brian Blessed as...well, Brian Blessed playing an eighteenth-century squire. One of the wonderful things about the production is that just as the story reaches a moment of high drama, Brian Blessed charges into the room, does Brian Blessed things for about two minutes and then the story picks up again where it left off.

As it should be.

I remember really enjoying that adaptation ofTom Jones in 1997.

I might have the tape still somewherem if I'm lucky.
