As you may know, I have a PVR for my Mac called Bastard. It was originally called Bastard because of its occasional refusal to record programmes for no adequately explored reason. After a few software updates, it got better and started to behave, even if it still warranted the name Bastard for refusing to export anything over an hour long to my AppleTV without giving an error (allegedly the fault lies with my Turbo H.264, made by the same company. They’re the ones doing the alleging. Twats).
Anyway, I’ve moved flat and my Mac is no longer sitting comfortably near a TV socket. So I had two options: either stick a great big trailing cable around the room to where there is a TV socket or invest in an EyeTV Diversity, which employs two mini antennae and some fancy signal processing skills to supposedly produce great pictures and reception even indoors.
I bought the Diversity. Suffice it to say, the trailing cable’s now arriving this week some time.
Today’s Joanna Page should have been This Year’s Love. But since she’s not in the cast list at the end, I’m guessing it’s something of a cameo appearance by Ms Page in said movie, so I’m actually going to have to sit through the whole film – Dougie Henshall’s kilt and all – to find out which five frames she’s in or whether she’s simply sitting on a cutting room floor somewhere. Apparently Richard Armitage plays “Smug man at party” in it, so there’s a double whammy for you.
So in the meantime, here’s a picture of her with Ruth Jones from the Comic Relief launch earlier this month. She’s going to be one of the Celebrity Apprentices, you know. And here’s a chat with her courtesy of Holy Moly. It’s quiet brief, but it is revealed that Tom Jones doesn’t know what a chocolate orange is.
Today’s Dick Head is from Marple: Ordeal by Innocence, in which Richard Armitage played Philip Durrant, the well-known bonfire night Guy. It was provided by Deb – thanks Deb.
On your marks, get set, haiku!
Got a picture of Richard Armitage’s head, preferably wearing a hat? Then leave a link to it below and if it’s judged suitable, it will appear in the “Dick Heads” gallery.
This particular Companion Chronicle from Big Finish marks the start of two things: first, it’s the first to really start mixing up the idea of the Companion Chronicles and the range’s two-handers; the second is that it’s the prelude to the Key To Time 2 (aka Key 2 Time. Aargh) season that’s going to dominate the Big Finish Doctor Who range for the next five months or so.
Yey?
Based on the exciting game theory problem The Prisoner’s Dilemma, The Prisoner’s Dilemma has Ace and evil “living tracer” Zara stuck in jail together on some random planet or other and they have to get out somehow. The question is, will you care if they do or don’t?
