I was able to watch it live. It went out at 6.25pm on BBC 1 and ran for 50 minutes. After last week’s mega-cliffhanger, this story could only get more complex – but in tonight’s penultimate story, at least we got some answers. (but I’m not revealing them here!) Excerpt… Synopsis… As the forces of …

TV: Doctor Who – Series 13, Chapter 4: Village of the Angels
No prizes for guessing what this one is about! 🤔 A village with Angels? How do they think up the titles? 😉 Same advice as before then: Whatever you do, DON’T blink! 😳. Other useful advice is HERE. I’ve got high expectations for this one, so let’s see if this series can maintain its run …

First Visit: The George, Great Oxenden
We took a drive to The George, Great Oxenden today, picking up Paul & Sue along the way. They know it well, but for us, it was our first visit. Wow! First impressions were excellent. The unassuming entrance gave way to a very tasteful interior. It all looked very tasteful without being too over-the-top – …

TV: Doctor Who – Series 13, Chapter 3: Once, Upon Time
After last week’s four-star episode – The War of the Sontarans, tonight, another familiar foe (or is it foes?) became part of the story… We’re now exactly halfway through this series and there are still plenty of unanswered questions. I’m really liking the linking of the six stories under one heading – Flux – rather …

Film: Dune (1984)
It’s Monday Movie Night here! 🎦 😁 Having seen the new production of ‘Dune’ at the cinema recently, we all agreed it would be good to go back and watch the original that hit the cinemas back in December 1984. I recall seeing it (somewhere!) when it was first out, and by the end, came …

TV: Doctor Who – Series 13, Chapter 2: War of the Sontarans
After an impressive start last week to the beginning of series 13 with The Halloween Apocalypse, would tonight’s episode chapter impress? The sixty-minuter (that’s a long one!) premièred at 6.15pm on BBC1 (but I wasn’t able to watch it live because we were out at Rosi’s surprise 60th Party at Ise Lodge Community Centre). Some …

John Lewis Christmas Advert (2021)
Yes, it’s that time of year again! John Lewis officially released its Christmas TV advert at 8am this morning. It’s a tad earlier than previous years by about a week. This year’s festive treat is called “Unexpected Guest” and for many, this now signals the official beginning of the Christmas shopping period! 😳 According to …

TV: Doctor Who – Series 13, Episode 1: The Halloween Apocalypse
Unless you’ve been caught in a massive temporal disturbance, you won’t have missed the plugs for the latest series of Doctor Who – it was shown just before every BBC peak-time programme over the past fortnight. It’s now old news that this will be Jodie Whittaker’s final season – and for me, it can’t come …

Cue the family at Kew!
We’re off to Kew Gardens for a family reunion! 👍 The gathering is from Ann’s side of the family – Brother Roger (with Jane and Oli); Cousins Chris (with Kate) and Alison (with Ali, Zidane, Sami and Jake). We left at 8am and had a pretty good journey there (but an even better one coming …
