Facial Hair Fest!

Considering the moustache-maina going on in "The Very Secret Diaries of" over at C&C, and janeturenne trying to scrub the mental image of a moustachioed Lestrade out of her mind, it was with mixed feelings I watched "Paradise Postponed" ep 11...

Why Wendy Cope is a genius

T. S. Eliot's The Waste Land as a limerick:

In April one seldom feels cheerful;
Dry stones, sun and dust make me fearful;
Clairvoyants distress me,
Commuters depress me —
Met Stetson and gave him an earful.

The Adventure of the silent girl

You might have seen some of this already on Deviantart, but I'm posting it here as well. This started as a shortie about Watson having sad dreams, but then I somewhat nonsensically planted a case in the middle of that. So this is page 6, 7, 8 and 9. :) And counting..

PS I apologise for the badly drawn bowler hats

"Doomwatch: By the Pricking of My Thumbs..." (1971)

Another tv-series I've never ever heard of, but apparently it was shown on UK Gold at some point (see logo bottom left corner). CJ is a strict headmaster moving a boy out of his school because Boy has an extra Y-chromosome which could be potentially dangerous.. or something. I was busy looking at that longish hair and sexy sideburns... :P

The Old Curiosity Shop

Dickens' not really that interesting book made into an even less so tv-drama. To be honest, even if CJ is in this it's hard to watch. It's boring, the wigs are bad and the casting is even worse so I haven't managed to watch more than the first episode. CJ's got a big red wig that is just wrong!

Young and old David Burke

At the same time as Colin J starred in "The Baron", so did David Burke! He plays a thug hitting people and moving briefcases with cash around (and his hair is dark!). Then some 40 years later he starred in "Midsomer Murders".

The Truth About George

I'm on a roll now so here's some more screen caps, these are from "Wodehouse Playhouse: The Truth About George" from 1973 I think. This guy has done a lot of tv-stuff!

Here he plays a gentleman with a somewhat loose grip on reality: The Emperor of Abyssinia, who has just left his palace (escaped from the mental asylum up the road). Hard to cap, he changes expression every other second! Soo many good moments.. :P

( Riding the crazy-train )

K-9 and Company

More caps, this time from "K-9" from 1981. CJ plays a groundskeeper and male witch who takes the shape of a goat, tries to sacrifice a teenager, and really care about his crops.

( There is also a silver-painted moving cardboard box )
