| Posted: 03 Jun 2008 12:17 AM CDT Well the tour is now fading into the past and I have grown accustomed to eating with my family again for a few weeks, which has been a pleasant discovery after nearly a year of being on the road with Bedroom farce and then She Stoops to Conquer, broken only by a visit to Norwich for pantomime. It has been really pleasant to wake up in my own bed for more than two days at a time, though I am not sure my daughters are relishing having "Mr Grumpy" back in circulation nagging them about the ir untidy bedrooms and for leaving cups, glasses and plates all over the house. Fathers are the same the whole world over, it seems. Since finishing the tour in Bath at the end of April, the time has rushed by. I spent my first Saturday off at Milton Keynes for my old friends at Tenth Planet and then motored up to Liverpool to do a day with the fans at The Cavern in Liverpool. This has proved a very succesful event over the last few years, organised by the redoubtable Erica Egerton who is on the Executive of DWAS now. A great day and it was good to see my old and dear friend Nicola in good form (I say "old" as in I have known her for a long time - not to indicate that she remains anything other than a very delectable and dishy young lady, who seems to get more attractive as the years go by. It's not fair. Also there were the clever owner of the Moth -eaten scarf (catch his show if you get the chance) Toby Hadoke and my august predecessor Peter Davison. I subsequently saw his daughter Georgia playing "the Doctor's daughter" - I knew Georgia as a four year old when she was at the same school as my daughter Lucy - they were in the same class actually - amazing - there were two girls in one class who could say "My dad is Doctor Who!" took the kudos of that away a little for them - which was probably no bad thing. I thought Georgia was fantastic - what a good actress she is - and what a pretty girl. If they've got any sense, they'll see the spin-off potential of that character. The next couple of weeks I immersed myself in all the activities I have been unable to give much attention for the last year - I am a Governor at three different schools and had a lot to catch up on. I went down to the excellent Academy Theatre at Shepton Mallet too, where my cousin and photographer extraordinaire Ian Burgess is jointly organising an event over the weekend of 16/17 August - to help them with a little pre-publicity. I've done some interviews in vision for DVD extras for releases due out later in the year of Doctor Who stories. Then the BIG EVENT. 18th May saw me revisiting Gladstone Pottery in Stoke on Trent where we filmed the final Fantasy Factory element of Trial of a Time Lord back in 1986. Rob Cope the genius creator and maintainer of this website organised the event with the Gladstone Pottery Museum, who laid on a great day for the fans who turned up in their droves. Children had great fun making clay daleks and tardises and Terry Molloy and I got to meet lots of fans and had a great day, in lovely weather, thank goodness. Rob is to be congratulated on his bravery in organising the day and we will only find out whether he enjoyed it as much as everybody else did if he decides to repeat the experience in the future. I have done another Big Finish story (with India Fisher with whom I enormously enjoy working - she is great fun and an excellent actress) and am scheduled to to a few more stories over the next month, before I go off to the USA to strut my stuff for JumpCon in Kalamazoo - yes there really is such a place. I was also invited by the excellent guys at WETA (whom I visited when I was in New Zealand a few years ago) to spend a couple of days with them on their stand at Expo in docklands on 24/25 May. They have created a superb range of high quality Doctor Who figures designed and sculpted by my friend David Tremont, whose stunning work I saw when I was shown the sets and props that WETA made for the Lord of the Rings trilogy for Peter Jackson. I had a great couple of days with them, ruined only by watching the Eurovision Song Contest farce on TV on the Saturday night. Time to bow out of that one, I think. Shame, I used to enjoy it and even submitted an entry a few years ago. Bank Holiday Monday I was in the Lake District at a friend's daughter's wedding by Ullswater, which was delightful and blessed by good weather while the south was pounded by rain. Saturday another friend's daughter's 30th birthday party in London. This hectic social life is exhausting me - I can't wait to get back to work for a rest! More Big Finish this week and on Friday I am meeting up with my friends Jane and Fred of Rod Jane and Freddie fame for you cult tv followers out there - who are very good friends that I have known for many years. On 14th June I shall be in Gloucester for The Oncoming Storm convention which promises to be great fun. Come along if you can!  | ||

| Posted: 02 Jun 2008 03:45 PM CDT This post is a little later than I intended-sorry about that! First of all, thank you to kevinwparker-he caught a cut I missed from What Ever Happened to Sarah Jane, part 2: When Andrea was describing Sarah Jane to Alan in her attic, she said something like, "She was so smart, not swotty [book-learning] smart, but clever. And so funny." (Thanks Kevin!) Now, onto the last episode of the first series: The Lost Boy, part 2 1. The chase scene outside the Pharos Institute!!! After stealing the device, Sarah Jane sneaks back outside-she's just outside the door when the alarms start to go off, and red beams shoot up everywhere. There's a voice that says something about being apprehended, and she says, 'We'll see about that', then whips out her sonic lipstick and knocks out the security system. She starts to run, and the chase is on!! As she's running, a guy in a motorcycle starts chasing after her, but she manages to out run him (like there was ever any doubt). She gets behind a tree and the motorcycle goes flying past. Out comes the sonic lipstick again-she fires, and the guy goes flying. The scene ends with her blowing off her lipstick (like it was a smoking gun) and walks off. This scene was so awesome! I'm sad it had to be cut. 2. Just before Maria and her dad go to Luke's "real" family, Maria is talking to Clyde's Mum-she tells her she hasn't seen him, and that he's probably at a mate's. 3. The scene where Maria and Alan first get to the Stafford's house. They walk up to the house-after they discover no one is home, Alan suggests they come back later, but Maria goes to the back looking for a way to get in. The scene starts on SciFi with Maria and her dad actually breaking in. 4. Back cut from commercials-Maria and Alan returning home. Maria: "We have to warn Sarah Jane..." (stupid commercials!) 5. Nathan and the Slitheen, with Luke in the back, breaking into the Pharos Institute. Nathan gives Luke some mega-sized earphones to wear, then gets in the front of the van with Mrs. Stafford. They drive up to the guard-he tells them he wasn't expecting Nathan on a Saturday. Nathan then makes a very annoying noise with some kind of device (it looks like he's grinding something together), and all the guards pass out on the ground. 6. The scene where Sarah Jane, Maria and Alan stop at the chip shop for vinegar was cut out completely. 7. After Luke breaks free from the device, Nathan unzips himself out of his human suit and starts to run after him-the part that was cut from this chase scene was when Nathan seemingly traps Luke in a room. As Nathan charges after him, Luke leaps up onto the table in the room, then escapes. 8. Luke enters the house and calls for Sarah Jane, he then hears Mr. Smith calling for him to come up to the attic. 9. Ok, I'm a little fuzzy on this next part-I'm not sure when exactly it occurs. I'm pretty sure it happens after Alan grabbed the teleportation necklace from Slitheen Nathan. Nathan wants his revenge, and he's going to go after Sarah. However, the two older Slitheen hold Nathan back-realizing it would be in their best interest to work with the humans. They tell him he'll understand more when he's older. 10. As Alan works furiously to come up with a virus to kill Mr. Smith, he gets a frantic call from Chrissie. Alan tells her it's not a good time. Chrissie is outside Maria and Alan's home, and she's looking for them. The wind is blowing like crazy, and car alarms are going off everywhere. She tells him she's scared, the world's coming to an end, and she wants to be with him and Maria. As she's talking, the line suddenly goes dead. That's it for the first series. (awwwww.....) I'm really glad people found these useful! :) There were times when I was a bit worried I wouldn't remember enough of the original-but once each episode got rolling, I was ok. :) I do have some more thoughts about the cuts, and a few comments about some things I learned when I was at Marcon over Memorial Day weekend-but I'll save those for another post. Here's hoping SciFi will pick up series 2 after it airs in the U.K.! Yay, Sarah Jane!! :)  | ||
