The always entertaining Brian Blessed as Prince Vultan, leader of the Hawkmen (no, NOT them guys from Thanagar) in the 1980 film Flash Gordon.

Blessed's over-the-top performance, and the overall costume design, were the few bright spots in this otherwise dreadful film.

I, Claudius Episode 2 Family Affairs

"The Senate today have voted to make me a god in Palmyra. They'll put a little statue to me in the temple, and people will bring offerings to me, asking me to bring rain or cure their father's gout. Tell me, Livia: if I'm a god, even in Palmyra, how do I cure gout?!"

BUY THE PERFECT GIFT FOR THE PERSON IN YOUR LIFE WHO IS ALWAYS THINKING ABOUT ANCIENT ROME!

If they don't get the reference then give them the second gift of bringing more of Ancient Rome into their life by introducing them to the Classic TV miniseries "I, Claudius"!

Stay safe from Livia's plots, don't eat the figs!

One Dress a Day Challenge

August: Fantasy & Sci-Fi

Flash Gordon / Brian Blessed as Prince Vultan

You've got to hand it to Brian Blessed and the other Hawkmen actors: this is the sort of costume that can't be worn timidly. It must be worn with gusto or else it will utterly defeat its wearer. And they pull it off, wings and all. Interestingly, they're actually wearing slightly more than their comic counterparts (see below).

Prince Vultan's costume has some extra features that denote his rank. He has a fancy helmet with the badge of the hawkmen, showing crossed wings inside a star, and two tall horns? lightning bolts? stylized feathers? He also has a more substantial breastplate with another variation on the badge (crossed wings in front of a beaming sun). The breastplate appears to be made of leather, with overlapping scales in gold and deep brown.

If Omega returns to Dr Who then he should be played by BRIAN BLESSED!

And he should YELL AND SHOUT every line of dialogue!

That would be awesome!

I, Claudius Episode 3 Waiting in the Wings

This is your doing, isn't it? Don't think I don't know. You think you're very clever. You think that by discrediting me, he'll bring your son back from Rhodes. You're so transparent. You want that precious son of yours to follow him when he dies so you can come into your own. But I have two sons. And they both come before yours. So make your mind up to it, Livia. When my father dies, you won't be wanted anymore. So take my advice and climb on the funeral pyre with him!

Thanks to everyone who listened to Series 1 of Please Attend Carefully, it's been a truly overwhelming response so far. Behind the scenes we've been working hard to bring you more and we thought today would be the perfect day to announce we're leaving The Master and the Whoniverse behind for our true passion project:

What do the fans love just as much, if not more than Doctor Who? Blake's 7! The timeless Sci-fi drama about thieves, and smugglers fighting against a totalitarian regime. We hope you'll be as excited as us for our new show all about that sardonic scoundrel Kerr Avon:

"Not Expendable, Not Stupid, Not Going"

Please enjoy our first of many new episodes "Avon Calling" available now! Link in our blog header.
