I’ve been away in Maine, so I haven’t posted for ages, but I couldn’t let tonight’s television event pass me by without posting a picture.

Goodbye, my lovely David. I will miss you zooming around in your Tardis. Please stick around so I can look at you often. Maybe you could consider taking some more roles where you have to get naked. Just think about it. For me.

Please?

   The DVD of his version of Hamlet is out on Monday. (Haven’t seen it yet because there were whines of “three hours???” in my house – I didn’t have the heart to tell them the full stage version’s more like four *g*, but have it on order so I can enjoy it one rainy Monday in termtime.)

   This does have a point: in that your request was for naked roles, and the last stage performance of Hamlet I saw (Mark Rylance) involved a naked Hamlet…

   Now I’ve put a smile on your face, happy new year, honey!

   Gosh yes it was gripping wasn’t it? I admit it, I sobbed a little when he said ‘I don’t want to go’ before his transformation. I bet there were people everywhere muttering back ‘then don’t!’

   Ohhh how I wish I were still working at a school teaching Hamlet for A-level so I could order it and force teenage girls to watch it… LOL! I will have to spend the money for myself and watch it one night when the Rock God is out!

   Thanks for the heads up, Kate!

   Sally, I was definitely saying “Then don’t go!” I loved Wilf trying to give him the gun, too.

   Me too. I yelled “For God’s sake, man,you’re a Time Lord, it’s not too late!” at the screen.

   He still left though.

   And he didn’t come and say goodbye to me.

   Sniff.

   Hey, he’s a Time Lord. He could still pop round at any moment.

   Keep the kettle on.

   Yes, this is a man who travels through time and space in a wooden box. Anything’s possible.

   Love that picture. Two adorable things; but ooh, David or kitten, which is more lovely?

   Like Kate H, I suffer from the same Hamlet-viewing problem. I must have three days worth of stuff recorded on Sky+, waiting for everyone else to vacate the house. Why is all the good stuff on when my house is full of other people?

   Send them on holiday, K8. Get them to take Demon Puppy with them.

   Oh, Da-a-avid! Kettle’s on…

   I agree with Jan, there must be some pretext for getting everyone and the puppy out of the house for several hours. Or even for a minute or two, and then you can bar the door behind them.

    I’ve used all available pretexts for getting the Demon Puppy out of the house, but the little bugger always comes back. Apparently it’s ‘cruel’ to lock her out in the cold. I think it’s ‘cruel’ that she wakes me up at 6am and steals my chocolates.

    Oh…and while we’re on the subject of Hamlet *whispers* John Simm is playing him at the Sheffield Crucible in September. I may suddenly remember how much I like my Sheffield relatives, and take a visit…
