Time for our regular look at what’s on at the South Bank in London in June. Not much, basically, but here’s what I found:
- 12th: Torchwood: Children of Earth – Day 1. The first episode of the third series, followed by a Q&A with members of the cast and crew
- 18th: Chandleresque: Raymond Chandler on Film & TV. An illustrated talk featuring film and audio clips.
For those that want the full description of that Torchwood episode (why?), here you go:
1965: Twelve children are gathered on a deserted moor, before being surrounded by a harsh, bright light… and then they are gone! Today: All over Earth, children stop moving. Stop playing. Stop laughing. Then, as one, they begin to speak with the same voice, announcing the imminent arrival of a new alien threat. ‘We are coming…’ As the British government closes ranks, it issues a death warrant against Captain Jack and Torchwood…
Anyone want to help out?
There’s also a “Jazz at Ronnie Scott’s” season, but if you think I’m wasting more than a nano-second on that, you’re wrong.

Well, it’s all over. I’d say, “Thank God for that,” if it weren’t for the fact that it’s Sylvester McCoy stories for the next three releases. I might just sit those out.
