Countdown to the 60th anniversary rewatch | 4.07: The Unicorn and The Wasp

Die ganze Welt ist eine Bühne. Also auch Indien. Die Schauspielerfamilie Kendal, hier unter dem Tarnnamen "Buckingham" spielt dort in den 60er Jahren auf recht unterschiedlichen Bühnen Shakespeare-Stücke, aber es läuft alles nicht so gut wie früher, die Leute interessieren sich gar nicht mehr so für Shakespeare und schauen lieber unseriöse Musikfilme. Töchterlein Felicity verguckt sich in den hübschen, aber unseriösen Shashi Kapoor, der steht aber unter der Fuchtel einer berühmten, aber zickigen (und unseriösen) Bollywood-Diva, so daß Felicity schließlich nach England heimgeschickt wird, wo sie uns dann auch nur 56 Jahre später hier in Anything Goes erfreute, und Shashi heiratete stattdessen ihre Schwester. So imitiert das Leben die Kunst, und umgekehrt.

the fandom (do we have a fandom? hello?) needs more shitposts

'And up and down, and up and down, and up and down', an enthusiastic excerpt on the radio from an age old Felicity Kendal workout encourages ... I obligingly do just that with my coffee cup ... if I'm going to raise my leg in that manner it'll simply be to pick some strange piece of something or other off my fluffy slipper ... the best thing I found inside my slipper this week was a sultana ... let's raise the coffee cup once more in honour of all the slippers long since gone to slipperland, where the floors are grippy and the dogs have undergone slipper chewing aversion therapy ...

Man in a Suitcase: Blind Spot (1.20, ITC, 1968)

"You know what I have in here?"

"Your lunch?"

"A confidential report concerning you."

"Confidentially, I don't care."

On December 3rd, 1926 the mystery writer Agatha Christie is staying at a country estate and confronted to solve a real murder mystery (professor peach, in the library with a lead pipe) along with a party crasher known as the Doctor (Doctor 10) and his companion Donna. Unlike the murders in her stories, this one appears to be committed by a giant wasp disguised as a man. This adventure happened on the date she historically (in real life) disappeared for a week and half. ("The Unicorn and the Wasp" Doctor Who, TV)

We’re Back! - A Dinosaur’s Story (1994) – Exploring the Past

TL;DR – A fascinating time capsule to the early 1990s, which might feel as far in the past as the dinosaurs featured.  ⭐⭐⭐ Rating: 3 out of 5. Post-Credit Scene – There is no Post-Credit Scene.Disclosure – I paid to watch this film. We’re Back! – A Dinosaur’s Story Review – I always like plugging in gaps in my knowledge when it comes to cinema, especially when it hits one of those topics…

i would die for him

Vergnügten uns dann mit Sutton Foster und ihrem Anything Goes -Prinzip, das wurde netterweise aufgezeichnet (jetzt warten wir nur noch auf diese Follies....). Es ist eigentlich auch ziemlich unmoralisch, dafür wieviele vorgebliche Moralprediger darin vorkommen, aber dabei wenigsten so albern, daß es nicht weiter auffällt.

The ladies of Ken Russell's VALENTINO (1977).

Felicity Kendal as June Mathis, Leslie Caron as Alla Nazimova, and Michelle Phillips as Natacha Rambova.

“Sumptuous” is hardly a strong enough word for the costumes designed by Shirley Russell for this film. Several pieces are now in museum collection.

Review: Noises Off, Richmond Theatre

Review: Noises Off, @RichmondTheatre Joseph Millson pratfalling and Tory-power-stancing is a thing to behold!

Lindsay Posner revives Noises Off once again in fine style, as Felicity Kendal, Joseph Millson, Tracy-Ann Oberman and more delight at Richmond Theatre “How about the words, dear, am I getting some of them right?” As far as farce is concerned (and particularly for a farce-sceptic like me), Michael Frayn’s Noises Off is the gold standard of the genre. London has been blessed with a couple of…

I'm on a roll with this fanfiction malarky. This chapter is a little more silly so much so I was giggling like a child as I proof read this before posting.

I can't believe it never came up - Rosemary Boxer/Laura Thyme, T (there's some suggestive language at the end so I'd just in case): The grandkids are visiting and discover Rosemary's hidden talent.
