As part of the BFI’s year-long celebration of Doctor Who for its 50th anniversary, each month it’s going to be showing a story for a different Doctor, and inviting members of the cast and crew to come and reminisce about their time on the show. This month, for the screening of the very first story, An Unearthly Child, director Waris Hussein, script editor Donald Tosh, and actors William Russell, Carole Ann Ford and Jeremy Young (and Mark Gatiss, for no really good reason) all showed up. And you can watch the highlights below, you lucky people!
Hopefully this ‘ere blog’s competition prize of tickets to see Spiral, et al on Friday weren’t too much of a poisoned chalice for our competition winner, given the snow. But at the very least, Grégory Fitoussi made it to his Q&A. Look, here he is. He has a beard. Hmm.
Last week, I gave you the chance to win tickets to Friday’s Totally Serialized showing, of amongst other things, the first episode of season 4 of Spiral/Engrenages. The deadline has passed and I can proudly announce that the winner is…
As I’ve mentioned before, the second Totally Serialized is about to take place in London. Featuring international cinema and TV, as well as UK shows such as Doctor Who and Peep Show, it’ll offer you the exclusive chance to see:
