One Dress a Day Challenge
August: Fantasy & Sci-fi
Doctor Who ("The Deadly Assassin," season 14) / Llewellyn Rees as the President
Doctor Who ("Arc of Infinity," season 20) / Leonard Sachs as President Borusa
Here we have two variations on the same basic costume, the robes of the President of Gallifrey. The original design (with the white cap) was by James Acheson for "The Deadly Assassin." The elaborate shoulderpiece/standing collar became instantly iconic. Since this costume is seen on a particularly ceremonial occasion, it also includes the golden Sash of Rassilon and the mirror-backed gloves.
The version used in "Arc of Infinity" (with the gold cap) was designed by Dee Robson. This version includes the roundels with the infinity symbol which are seen on everyone except the president in the earlier episode.

The Saint: The Spanish Cow (4.8, ITC, 1965)
"Oh Simon, you're a wonderful man!"
"Yes, I know. It's the clean living."

The Good Old Days was a strange show. It ran for a staggering thirty series, from 1953 to 1983. The format recalled the days of Victorian/Edwardian variety theatre. Contemporary entertainers performed material in the style of that era. Everyone - from the verbose compere Leonard Sachs, to the stars and the audience - would dress in clothes of the period. What makes the show's extended lifespan even more remarkable is the fact that it bored the life out of anyone below the age of forty.
All the top UK acts and some from further afield graced that dusty old stage, but very, very few commanded it with such presence and style as Eartha Kitt did in 1972.

Zusammenfassung: Tim Cain, der Mitbegründer der kultigen Fallout-Serie, war kürzlich in einem Podcast zu Gast und gab spannende Einblicke in die Zukunft der Franchise. In einer offenen Diskussion sprach Cain darüber, wie er sich die Serie in internationalen Landschaften wie China und Russland vorstellt. Diese Enthüllung kommt genau zu dem Zeitpunkt, an dem durch Fan-Mods wie Fallout London das Interesse an alternativen Schauplätzen geweckt wird.
Tim Cain spricht über die Ausdehnung von Fallout auf internationale Schauplätze.
Cain enthüllt ein bisher ungeteiltes Spielkonzept, das er geheim hält.
Die Diskussion über den Fan-Mod Fallout London regt Gedanken über andere "atombombenwürdige" Städte an.
Einführung
Wenn man an Fallout denkt, kommen einem oft Bilder eines postapokalyptischen Amerikas in den Sinn. Aber was, wenn das nicht der Fall wäre? Was, wenn die Fallout-Serie uns in einer parallelen Welt die Möglichkeit bieten würde, postapokalyptische Szenarien in anderen Teilen der Welt zu erkunden? Genau das stellt sich Mitbegründer Tim Cain vor, wie er in einem kürzlichen Podcast mit TKs-Mantis verriet. Cains Ideen bieten einen erfrischenden Ausblick darauf, wohin die klassische Franchise als Nächstes gehen könnte.
Äußerungen von Schlüsselfiguren
Tim Cain über die Zukunft von Fallout
"Eine Sache, die ich den Leuten immer gesagt habe, ist, dass wir, weil Fallout Amerika sehr viel um den Amerikanischen Patriotismus kreist, China und Russland erkunden wollten", sagte Cain während des Podcasts. Diese Idee wurde jedoch dadurch kompliziert, dass man Ende der 1990er Jahre jemanden hätte einstellen müssen, der sich gut mit dem Alltag dieser Länder auskennt, um es realistisch zu gestalten (GamesRadar).
Noch nicht enthüllte Pläne
Cain verriet außerdem, dass er ein bisher unerzähltes Konzept für ein neues Fallout-Spiel hat, das er mit niemandem geteilt hat, auch nicht mit seinem Co-Designer Leonard Boyarsky. "Wenn es jemals gemacht wird, werde ich wissen, dass es ein Zufall war", merkte er geheimnisvoll an.
Fanreaktionen und Mods
Die Fans sind schon seit Jahren kreativ mit der Fallout-Serie und der kommende Fan-Mod Fallout London fügt dem Feuer der internationalen Schauplätze nur noch mehr Brennstoff hinzu. Cain selbst schien von dem Mod begeistert und sagte: "Denkt an all die schönen Städte, die man in die Luft jagen könnte", und zählte dabei ikonische Orte wie den Eiffelturm, Big Ben und sogar Rio de Janeiro auf.
Spekulationen und zukünftige Möglichkeiten
Erkundung neuer Grenzen
Die Diskussion von Tim Cain eröffnet spannende Möglichkeiten für die Zukunft der Fallout-Serie. Wenn Bethesda internationale Schauplätze erkunden würde, könnten sie eine Fülle neuer Erzählmöglichkeiten erschließen und frische Perspektiven in ihrer Herangehensweise an die düstere postapokalyptische Erzählung bieten. Es könnte ein Wendepunkt für eine Franchise sein, die bisher weitgehend auf Amerika fokussiert war.
Eine frische Sicht auf alte Themen
Indem man das Spiel auf internationale Landschaften ausdehnt, könnten die Schöpfer tiefer in Themen wie Nationalismus, globale Politik und kulturelle Vielfalt eintauchen, was der reichen Erzählstruktur der Franchise eine weitere Ebene hinzufügen würde. Die postapokalyptischen Schauplätze von China oder Russland könnten die perfekte Leinwand für neue Abenteuer bieten.
Schlussfolgerung
Obwohl Tim Cain vielleicht nicht mehr direkt an der Serie beteiligt ist, haben seine Gedanken über die Zukunft von Fallout Gewicht. Während Fan-Mods wie Fallout London das Interesse an neuen Schauplätzen wecken, erinnern uns Cains bisher unerzählte Pläne und internationalen Aspirationen daran, dass die Welt von Fallout noch unerforschte Gebiete zu bieten hat. Stimmt ihr mit Cains Vision überein? Teilt eure Gedanken unten mit!

THE MEN OF SHERWOOD FOREST (Dir: Val Guest, 1954).
An early production from Hammer Films, The Men of Sherwood Forest is a low budget but spirited romp with Don Taylor as the legendary Robin Hood.
The simple plot involves Robin attempting to thwart an ambush attack on Richard the Lionheart on his return from the Crusades.
More famous for their Horror movies, Hammer also did a nice line in swashbucklers; the studio produced four Robin Hood movies, of which this was the first.
Although clearly working with a meagre budget, director Val Guest makes decent use of outdoor locales and the movie feels less studio bound than might be expected. It also benefits from being shot in colour and whilst the action is not as well staged as in a more lavish production, Guest generally elicits decent performances from his actors, not all of whom are perfectly cast.
Don Taylor makes for a slightly bland leading man. There is nothing essentially wrong with his performance and with an athletic build he certainly looks the part of Robin. However with an accent that is more Hollywood than Sherwood, Taylor lacks both the authenticity and charisma of earlier Robin Hoods such as Errol Flynn or Richard Todd. Likewise, Leonard Sachs is not ideally cast as The Sheriff of Nottingham, lacking both the authoritative air and any real sense of menace to make a truly memorable villain.
The best performances are to be found in the supporting cast. Maid Marian is inexplicably missing from The Men of Sherwood Forest; her replacement here is Lady Alys in a nice performance by Eileen Moore. A loyal ally to Robin, she holds her own with the best of the Merrie Men, but there is no romance between the two. Robin’s most significant relationship here is with Friar Tuck. As the wily man of the cloth cum con artist Reginald Beckwith gives a marvellous comic performance which is arguably the movie's highlight.
While The Men of Sherwood Forest is no masterpiece, as an example of the sort of boys own adventure that once filled matinees, it is invaluable. Cheap and cheerful maybe, but also engagingly innocent, old fashioned fun.
