Don’t forget Tuesday’s caption competition!

Got a picture of David Tennant sitting, lying down or in some indeterminate state in between? Then leave a link to it below or email me and if it’s judged suitable, it will appear in the “Sitting Tennant” gallery. Don’t forget to include your name in the filename so I don’t get mixed up about who sent it to me.

You can also enter the witty and amusing captions league table by commenting on Tuesday’s Sitting Tennant photo, the best caption getting 10 points, everyone who contributes getting five points.

Doctor Who – how long has Steven Moffat been planning the Silence?

The Silence in Doctor Who

The Silence is going to be the villain of the season (probably) in Doctor Who. Of course, the foundations were laid last season, with the exploding TARDIS, “The Silence will fall”, the time machine in The Lodger et al.

However, maybe there were other signs that none of us noticed. What would happen if someone (not me) rewatched the last season, keeping their eyes open for unexplained shadowy figures and people seemingly forgetting important things they’d just seen, and didn’t just assume it was people messing up their lines, bad edits, etc…

Follow me after the jump, assuming you can remember that far.

Weird old title sequences: Get Up and Go!/Mooncat and Co (1981-1985)-

5 May 2011 Rob Buckley Post a comment

When it comes to weirdness, you can’t beat kids show Get Up and Go! and its follow-up show Mooncat and Co. The premise was simple: a talking cat from the moon comes down to Earth and moves in with the shows’ host, Stephen Boxer. Together with a variety of other people – Beryl Reid in Get Up and Go! but Pat Coombs, Kenny Lynch, Wilf Lunn and others in Mooncat and Co – Boxer would educate Mooncat in human ways.

Get Up and Go! ran for three series before Reid was offered a job in a major ITV drama series, so her character moved out and the show became Mooncat and Co, which ran for another two series. 

And here are its weird old titles.
