I Want An Adipose!

Good Afternoon all. I hope you enjoyed last post's geek test. If you haven't tried that, give it a go. Are you really a true geek? But, today, as I promised, I have a review of Partners in Crime.



PARTNERS IN CRIME:
*****
RUNNING TIME: 45 mins. STARS: David Tennant, Catherine Tate, Bernard Cribbins, Sarah Lancashire, Billie Piper.

IN A NUTSHELL:
Pretty much the same kind of start to a season as we usually get. It wasn't dissimilar to 1.1 ROSE and 3.1 SMITH AND JONES in that it had the whole light-hearted London invasion element which is starting to wear on me. In parts, the episode was great, but too silly in bits.

MY HUMBLE OPINION:
I enjoyed this episode. It had a compelling start with a nice effect. But soon the episode became very predictable. It followed this sort of generic Who template that seems to be applied to first episodes, mid-season lifters and Christmas specials. First, an introduction to the situation. Then, the Doctor and his companion arrive and realise there's something wrong. The companion's family are also always there to hinder the Doctor. Next, the Doctor babbles for a while, then he defeats the baddie and says "Well, that was good, wasn't it?". And WHOOSH, we move on to a better episode. One thing I do proclaim, however, is that I want an Adipose! I want to keep one in a little cage in my bedroom and tickle it. This seems negative,but let's hope tonight's episode is better. Because did I see Miss Foster do a comedy delayed fall at one point?! Russell- don't do that again. You're on your last warning.

I hope you enjoyed that and would like to announce the upload of my first video on YouTube. It's a bit odd and it needs editing because it's off my phone and it's in QuickTime. Here it is:


I know. It's poor. Anyway, see you soon, and that's all, folks!

Exciting news from the LSP lord.

Good afternoon,
A lot has happened in current affairs and, I hasten to add, also in cult fiction since I last blogged. The saddening death of the Australian Heath Ledger has shocked us all. The poor chap was only just making his break- scheduled to play villain, the Joker in the Summer's "The Dark Knight", starring Christian Bale as the wonderful caped crusader. My blog, however, is not here as a news service, so for more info, visit http://www.bbc.co.uk/ and you should find the link to it's news page.
Secondly, a fortnight ago, I blogged concerning new film releases, one of which was The Dark Knight in fact. It may help some readers to re-cap at this point;

The last thing is the as yet untitled "Bond 22" starring Daniel Craig. Details are rumoured so I cannot give you any more information.

However, I can now confirm the title of "Bond 22". It's title is "The Quantum of Solace". The announcement has proved controversial amongst the media and I happen to know that there's been a hell of a lot of chat of it in Christian O' Connel's breakfast show on Virgin Radio. The name is taken from one of Flemming's short stories, but it is highly unlikely that the plot will bear any resemblance and this has been an occurrence in previous Bond movies.
The title of the next episode of Doctor Who has also been announced by the BBC to be "Partners in Crime", most likely referring to the Doctor's relationship with new companion, Donna Noble, in the episode. Other aspects of the series include Martha Jones, Rose Tyler, novelist Agatha Christie, Ood, Sontarans and Pompeii. For more information, visit the Doctor Who Series Four schedule.
Finally, after analysing and commenting on current and cult affairs, I have created some of my own. Here it is- LSP now has it's own admin e-mail address at lspcentral@gmail.com. A newsletter from this address is planned and if you wish to register for that please e-mail me. I am also planning Maybe a new LSP core page with help functions.
But for now, goodnight. We're all looking forward to LOST now aren't we?
