Harry Chapin's W*O*L*D. The music is pretty, but the lyrics are rather depressing. With very few exceptions, deejays spend most of their careers moving from station to station across the country... "That's how this business goes." The character in Harry's song wasted most of his life tryin...

Binkie might just come from Binkie Stuart (real name: Elizabeth Alison Fraser) a British child actress who was marketed as the British answer to Shirley Temple. Sadly, a planned move to Hollywood never eventuated because of World War II. Here's Binkie at the height of her career in Moonlight Sonata ...

The major problem with "The Enemy of the World" is, as has been pointed out, Troughton frequently visits the 21st century, yet no-one ever says "Hold on, you look just like Salamander, that world saviour/dictator who iinexplicably vanished in 2017."

Nostalgic, innocent yet poignant at the same time, The Railway Children was a beautifully made film.The idea of a father being wrongly imprisoned and the family falling into despair was touching. This was what I would call a quintessentially 'English' film.

Chris Eccleston recently gave an interview supporting an anti-bullying campaign and revealing that as a child he had both been bullied and been a bully himself.

MJE has never seen the Muppet Show, i gather?

If Gary was almost three decades younger, he would have been excellent for a role in the Harry Potter movies.

"Moonface, why did the Land of Little Old Ladys have to land on top of the tree?!"

Yes, hence the joke of a female Dr Who visiting the Planet of Shoes and Shopping as much as Earth

I remember reading both Enid Blyton and Arthur Ransome and often finding hard to imagine how the adventures would work out if the protagonists were in possession of a bladder and bowel!

Re-reading MT and SC, it's hardly a flattering portrayal of English social attitudes in the 1940s and 50s, is it? If anyone is interested in this, there is an excellent story that I read about the end of WWII in Britain told through the eyes of a 12 year old girl who was evacuated to the States at a...

Me and two of my brothers:

I think me and my brother would have qualified as Blyton villains or at least in need of a visit from the brownies, because when we were 10, we were at a local fete and a guy in a costume was handing out lolly bags to kids who put 20 cents into the hole in the costume. Well, we didn't have 20 c so w...

No. I'm more like Darren Gregory from DW fandom who has made stuff up about missing episodes since the 1980s. I stayed on the legal side of making stuff up to get interest.

I know but Bets is also eight... her version of nasty letters would be somewhat different from June Johns.
