Watched last night the first part of BBC1's new modern day adaptation of the classic John Wyndams novel THE DAY OF THE TRIFFIDS

Last night we watched Part 1 of Tom Hanks' From The Earth To The Moon. That was such a monumental undertaking, we have SO lost our sense of wonder these days.

Doctor Who - The End of David Tennant's Stint with James Bond as the big chief Timelord.

And a cracker of a ending for Tennant as the Doctor.

Have to agree .... that was one brilliant, if a little weepy, ending for DT as the Tenth Doctor.

Some weeks ago, Tennant said he really was going to miss playing the Doctor and was wondering if he was doing the right thing. Yet, tonight, the last thing his charactor of the Doctor says right at the point of regeneration, is "I don't want to go". You could almost mistake that as Tennant saying he will return.

I read a while ago rumours that David Tennant was being considered for a movie spin-off of Doctor Who. Have to say he did very well as the Doctor (I initially had reservations when he appeared at the end of the 1st series), but he had some fantastic episodes, and the one last night was superb, a great and emotional send-off.

Not sure about the new guy, Matt Smith, although the online trailers for the next series look quite promising. Would also like to see Timothy Dalton and John Simm return again in their roles.

The Longest Yard on TV

Laughed my balls off

Matt Smith really does have his work cut out in the role of the new Doctor. It can only go two ways for Matt, good or bad reviews. But he's going to be compared to Tennant and for the wrong reason "oh, he's not David Tennant", even if he try's to make the Doctor his own, he is always going to be wrongly compared. Matt reminds me of Daniel Craig. Craig was critisied for the Bond role due to his "gruff" looks. Matt is the same. But Craig has now fitted in and made the 007 role his own. Lets hope that Matt can do the same with the Doctor. But he's going to get a rough ride from fans and critics just because he is not Tennant.

In the scenes with the dueling Time Lords, we eventually get to see the womans face on the right, but never the chap on the left. For some reason, I kept thinking it was Matt Smith.

I was impressed with David Tennant. Shame he's going. His replacement has a lot of hard work ahead of him.

The BBC trailer for the new series of Doctor Who.

New Doctor, new TARDIS, new side-kick, new enemies, new logo.

French film Le couperet from 2005.

I have the "the signature edition" on DVD and I can only agree.
It really is quite some production for being an "actors" documentary and I love the way Tom Hanks is telling one of the greatest happenings in modern history.

Last seen by broadband TV: Aftermath - Population Zero
"What would happen with the planet earth if all the human beings on it simply vanished into thin air from one second to the next?"
Just a play of thoughts and with the help of modern science and cgi's adapted for the screen.
How fast the earth could clean itself up after all "the mess" without a human soul being there watching over it. Only animals (fighting for their lives), plants and trees. And how the moder nature would tear down or bury all the human traces wich would be partly gone in 2000 years and in 10 000 years all that would be left are some foot prints, a car, some technical divices and a flag on the surface of the moon.
Pretty fascinating. Rekomendations.
