Clip Update








Three final clips for '07 posted over at Major Johns; Mario Bavo's classic giallo Sei donne per l'assassino (aka Blood and Black Lace), a nice scene from the late eighties Superboy series and a quickie for Jamie Lee Curits in the excellent Hitchcock-esque Road Games. Hope you all have a great new year!

More Doctor Who

Well as i suspected the Xmas Day Special of Doctor Who sucked, even worse than last year's disaster. Speaking as a fan of the original series and to a degree a fan of the new incarnation, I do fear that this show will cave in under it's own weight of popularity. Change was inevitable, and in most cases the re-vamp has been successful, but by continuing to insist that Tennant runs round like John McClane pointing his screwdriver at things they are in real danger of blowing it. Time will tell...and speaking as a DiD fan too, BBC please note: Even Catherine Tate got a handgag last year, why not Kylie :)

To offer all you like-minded dissapointed fans a festive pick me up, I just clipped a previously lost scene featuring Jacqueline Hill as Barbara Wright; this is a follow up to a scene I recently posted over at Major Johns. Unfortunatly, most of the footage was lost or destroyed over the years and what is represented is put together using a combination of exisiting audio, video and on-set photos.

Doctor Who DiD Xmas Special

To celebrate Christmas, and to coincide with the Xmas day Who special, which on a personal note I hope is a vast improvement on last years, i thought it was time to look back a little. After all, i doubt guest star Kylie Minogue will get the treatment...?

So for my weekly update on Major Johns I present you with 6 DiD installents from the adventures of the Timelord; 2 from the Hartnell Years, and 1 each from the era of Jon Pertwee, Tom Baker, Colin Baker and Sylvester McCoy.

Just for fun, I've created a poll for all Who fans out there...feel free to vote. If I don't get a chance before, may i wish all readers a great xmas and a prosperous new year!

Clip Update

New clips up at Major Johns. Minor scene in the above par horror flick, Haunted Forest - bad acting, but some nice photography and effects scenes compensate, if you ever care to check it out.

Finally got round to ripping some of my VHS collection and came across a scene in the Italian Giallo effort, La Morte ha fatto l'uovo, with the great English title of Death Laid an Egg - certainly an oddity for the genre and well worth catching if you get the chance.

Finally, a favourite of mine. Two delightful actresses ham it up in the fantastic Bond Parody OSS 117: Le Caries nid d'espions. Those of you who speak or understand French are going to get a buzz from the first scene in the clip!

The Best Avengers Girl

The votes are in:

Cathy Gale 12%
Emma Peel 46%
Tara King 40%

The end result kind of summed up my own views; always was more partial to the scenes involving Thorson (i suspect because she wore a skirt much more!), but few could compete with the beauty of Diana Rigg. Not much more to say which the picture hasn't already :)

Thanks to all those readers who cast their vote.
