#doctor who#the fake one is from redacted btw#the audio spinoff (bbc not big finish)#its really good and you should listen to it because juno dawson is about to have an episode of doctor who proper now#so to give yourself a taste of what her work is like#its free on bbc sounds i don't know about anywhere else though#also the line is paraphrased because i can't check the exact quote without listening to all of series 1 again#because i dont remember what the context was and i cant just look it up like all the tv ones

if I had a nickel for every time Sherlock Holmes decided not to persecute a heavy-game hunter for avenging someone they cared about, i'd have two nickels. which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice
#letters from watson#sh#sherlock holmes#EMPT#DEVI#plus both of them were portrayed by the same man - patrick allen as sebastian moran in the granada tv series#and as leon sterndale in the bbc radio adaptation...#to be fair moran gets persecuted for all of his other crimes but not for the attempted murder of holmes#jin posts

Play for Today: The Flipside of Dominick Hide (BBC, 1980)
"Complacent with your mission, Dominick? Amusing, the history of transport. We've made a modicum of progress: trips are regulated to microseconds, punctuality taken for granted."
"Yes."
"Why then were you two minutes late on your double return? Machine fault?"
"No. I'm sorry."
"I accept apology. Reason?"
"It was raining. Rain slows everything. I saw an old woman knocked down and I was checking how long before help reached her. The medi-car was blocked in progress, I think she died."
"So?"
"I thought it might be interesting."
"People are not your conspectus, Dominick. If you wish to study people, watch old films."
#play for today#the flipside of dominick hide#classic tv#bbc#1980#alan gibson#jeremy paul#peter firth#caroline langrishe#pippa guard#patrick magee#trevor ray#sylvia coleridge#jean trend#timothy davies#denis lawson#bernadette shortt#tony melody#bill gavin#david griffin#karl howman#PfT is often discussed as if it only produced gritty social realism (which was perhaps its abiding impact) but the strand wasn't afraid to#dip its toes into genre waters: cue this‚ one of the most successful plays in PfT's run‚ spawning a sequel‚ a spin off series of plays#(short lived Play for Tomorrow) and ended up as probably the best received and reviewed bbc play of 1980. finally catching up to it and i#can see why it struck a chord maybe; it's a very charming piece‚ with a delightful central performance from Firth‚ and a greater emphasis#on romantic comedy than hard sci fi. but it's also a rewardingly detailed script (dialogue in all future scenes is stripped of anything#but necessary words‚ so that sentences are blunt and self contained‚ just one aspect of a streamlined future) and with oblique references#for the viewer to work out (unsettling mention of an elderly tourist breaking down at a visit to the 1936 Olympics‚ the significance lost#on Dominick and his future colleagues). the cast is stuffed with future stars in small roles (Phil Davis‚ Mark Wingett and Denis Lawson all#have small roles) but i was delighted to find Pat Magee onboard‚ having genuinely no idea he'd appeared in this. a fun time! sweet and soft

honestly it’s a wonder show runners aren’t having multiple breakdowns over writing character deaths with so many people on the internet threatening everyone in their immediate vicinity and themselves with violence if anything ever happened to their blorbos

how many wga strike posts do i need to scroll past telling people where to find fresh content to watch before someone points out that america is not the only country that makes tv shows
#like honestly#i don't really care about this because this isnt a pause on media#its a pause on AMERICAN media#other countries have to like fund their own shows out of taxpayer dollars in order to possibly compete with what america puts out#go watch some of that#bbc. abc. tvnz. whatever canada's got.#go find stuff from smaller countries. in foreign languages. from a place you want to visit.#films. tv shows. web series. streaming series. comedies. dramas. tragedies. set overseas. set local. set who knows where#there's so much out there#and only america is stopping#wga strike#writers strike

whyyyyy of all the streaming sites do the new seasons of doctor who have to be on disney+ 😐
#ivy.txt#trying to figure out a way to watch that isn’t pirating so i can actually watch it with my parents on the tv 😭#my initial suggestion was going to be get a britbox subscription since there’s other stuff on there we want to watch as well#but from what i can tell the new series isn’t going to be offered on there :/#and none of us have a vpn so we can’t just use bbc iplayer

I feel like a lot of people miss the point of Sherlock's charging-port-deduction when they poke fun at it.
Now, I'm not saying he's right or some genius (or that you shouldn't poke fun at the deduction), I'm just saying that the point of this specific observation was misunderstood.
Because yes, we all try to plug our phones in in the dark or without looking and miss the port a few times. But not hard enough to leave scratches in the metal. When I look at my charging port, there are no scratches there, because I use the appropriate amount of force when plugging in my phone, and I think most of you do, too.
However, when you're completely drunk, there isn't really an 'appropriate amount of force.' You will jam your charger into the metal around your phone port hard enough to leave visible scratches.
It wasn't that the phone's user missed the port; it was that they missed the port with enough excessive force to scratch the phone.
(Which, of course, doesn't even necessarily mean 'alcoholic'; it could just be someone with difficulty with fine motor skills, or who misjudges how much force they need for things, or wasn't wearing their glasses and got very frustrated trying to plug in their phone, or any variety of other scenarios)
#anyway I've had this thought in my head for a while so it's been years since I actually watched the show so maybe I'm#completely misremembering the scene#the part I remember best from the series is Sherlock's supposed genius never-overlooking-anything skills of deduction forgetting#gay people exist lmao#bcc sherlock#sherlock#sherlock holmes#sherlock tv show#sherlock tv#sherlock bbc#is sherlock still a thing or can sir arthur conan doyle finally rest lmao

Shadows of Fear: White Walls and Olive-Green Carpets (1.8, Thames, 1971)
"Often, a man wants a girl as long as he can't have her. Then, when he's free to marry her, he has second thoughts. He thinks he could do better for himself: no hurry, shop around. It happens."
"Just like that, huh?"
"People do what's best for themselves. I've been let down before now."
"Often?"
"No one ever did it more than once."
#shadows of fear#white walls and olive green carpets#single play#classic tv#horror tv#1971#thames#hugh leonard#james gatward#ian bannen#natasha parry#geoffrey wright#rosemary croom johnson#john kershaw#some stylistic flourishes here which instantly set this one apart from the other plays in this brief series‚ including uniquely styled#title boards and credits. the ep itself is... it's a curious one. Leonard was a whizz at dialogue (he did some of my very favourite Dickens#adaptations in the previous decade‚ including the seminal 1967 BBC Great Expectations) and Bannen was a superb actor (Parry‚ who I know#much less well‚ holds her own against him i must say) so naturally this sparkles during their lengthy (and unashamedly stagey) conversation#however‚ the focus is so much on that dialogue that very little actually seems to be happening; inescapably this seems to be another case#of a minor plot padded out to meet the run time‚ a recurring issue with this series. but! a last minute (and well deployed) twist (or very#slight series of very small twists) saves this one. what Leonard has spent so long setting up‚ the very gradual sketching in of these#characters and their relationship‚ actually pays off‚ and in an appropriately (to this specific genre of tv anyway) nasty way#he really does stretch it as far as he can before providing that catharsis tho‚ testing the patience of an idle tv viewer (i wouldn't be at#all surprised if some 70s viewers had just flicked over to the BBC before the play ended). but i appreciate a slow burn‚ particularly when#it wraps up this neatly and this satisfyingly. a play that is definitely made in its final moments and which rewards the dedicated viewer#even the title‚ at first seemingly plucked at random from lines in the first act‚ takes on a very different and very sinister meaning
