SPOILER ALERT

Doctor Who was back last night and straight into gear. Good episode (first of a two-parter) and Clara Oswald was in the thick of the action - albeit she got exterminated by the Daleks....

To keep up with the spoilers...



By killing Davros at the end, did the Doctor just eradicate the Daleks from time?

I don't understand the whole paradox thing. But best not to think about that too much or the whole thing becomes unfathomable... at least to me [:)]

Saw Dumb and Dumber To the other day.

Not a patch on the brilliant original - but not quite as bad as was made out.

Saw Dumb and Dumber To the other day.

Why they make so many Saw sequels elude me. [;)]

Get out Orm. Tsk.... There's always one that spoils it for the rest of us [;)]

Besides, haven't you got a MWIF response to make?

I am sorry about that. Couldn't resist trying to be dumber... [:D]

I sure have. I missed the question and thought the ball was in your court. I am sorry about that and will post an answer shortly.

I watched the 1969 film Battle of Britain for the first time again in over 15 years. I forgot how much I liked that movie and what a classic it really is. So many great actors in that flick.

As a bonus the wife sat down and watched it with me. It was her first time seeing it and she actually liked it which shocked me.

The old war movies are still the best in my opinion. Next I think I will watch A Bridge Too Far again.

ORIGINAL: Chickenboy

ORIGINAL: warspite1

Did anyone ever watch Mad Men? I am taking the opportunity of watching the series from the beginning. Hope it's worth it.

Mrs. Chickenboy is a real fan. I thought the sets, costumes and general ambience were top notch. However, I could not identify with or think well of any of the characters as protagonists. Draper is too irredeemable to be interesting or a sympathetic character.

Have got as far as episode 5 season 1. I would agree with the above. The 50's setting is absolutely brilliant, but the characters?

It's like the writer has forgotten you need a mix of likeable/unlikeable people. There is just no one to really root for - apart from Alison and Christina of course - but then that has nothing to do with their characters [:D] That is a real flaw if you ask me. Not sure how much longer to continue.

I am also surprised they made it to Series 7 or 8 whatever it was. I thought everyone would have died of lung cancer by series 3.....

The Theory of Everything

Not sure what to expect - but proved to be a really good film and Eddie Remayne's performance was worthy of the Oscar he received.

Still sticking with it.... but its more for Christina than anything else....

Has anyone been watched/watched the H2 channel's documentary series "The Last Days of the Nazis"?

Thoroughly recommended - although the title is a little mis-leading.

The series details testimony (given during the run up to the Nuremburg trials) of certain Nazi party members. These are actual words of the Nazis themselves (read by actors and actresses), explaining their role and/or their thoughts on all aspects of the Nazi years from 1933-45 (from the initial Jewbaiting such as Krystallnacht through to the final solution). Of the 8 million + Nazi party members, the series has taken extracts of testimony from a select few. From well known and high ranking Nazis such as Speer and Keitel, through to the thugs slightly lower down the food chain - Seiss-Inquart and Hoess - as well as other 'lesser' Nazis such as one of the active members of the Hitler Youth for Girls.

As usual with this subject, although we all know the story, hearing it again - hearing these $%^& try and justify what they did - (with accompanying footage) is often heart rending and anger creating in equal measure.

An excellent series.

Surprised on a wargaming forum no one has seen / heard / interested in this subject.....

Last one of Downton tonight [:(] - although hoping there will be a Christmas Day special too.
