Played by fairly well known actress Celia Imrie if I'm not mistaken. She played Gertrude Groan in the BBC adaptation of Gormenghast back in 2000, as well as Miss Babs in Acorn Antiques.
The one in the middle of the picture just rubs me the wrong way. Maybe its the tiny wig on a furred creature, or because he appears to have been attacked with a can of blue spray paint? Or that he seems to have the look of the villainous wolf from 'Around the World with Willy Fog'? No, it's the certain knowledge that when he talks, his mouth will remain in that fixed immovable grin and his voice will be muffled as if he's swallowed a woolen jumper.
This is odd. I get in and find an email from HMV telling me that they've just dispatched a metal Codemasters paperweight - which is odd since they sent it to me two years ago. Ten minutes later, I see Codemasters themselves have been hacked.
Well this is the first episode of the remake. Funnily enough, David Tennant and Tom Baker is in it (with some very strange poetry). I've got the remake on DVD. It's quite a funnily weird fantasy series written mostly by Charlie Higson. I see at least one of the other writers has also written for Doctor Who - and is mentioned in the article above - Mark Gatiss.
@Fall-Apart: Could be she's the midwife who will deliver/is delivering/has delivered the time-distorted baby. Maybe Amy is focussed on her voice during the labour and it's rippling backwards with each contraction?
I'm assuming you're not familiar with Pratchett's take on chain-mail being a bunch of holes helpfully strung together to give the archers a sporting chance?
You could tell the armies were doomed since their armour was really shiny. Too busy polishing their breastplates instead of practicing which end of a sword you poke into the enemy.
And who brings chain-mail to a battle where there are archers? That's just asking for trouble!
@reapur: I assumed timeshifted meant broadcasts in other timezones not running concurrent with the UK broadcast. I'm guessing you're from the land beyond the shires (since there aren't any adverts on the BBC to interrupt the show), so you'd be counted as a timeshifted viewer.
I suppose the internet being the way it is, there isn't any possibility that the petitioner might be a straight male or female gamer just trying to whip commenters up into a frenzy?
