"Dog's Arse Bay"- a stifling new work by
Thu, 19 Aug 1999, 04:14 pmRe Fiona Reid's eloquent comment on "Dog's Head Bay".Grievance One: When is the Emeritus Williamson going to realise that no-one speaks like the characters from a lesser Oscar Wilde farce?Grievance Two: When is the Emeritus Williamson going to realise that there are other states in this country other than New South Wales?Grievance Three: When is the ABC going to cease doing shows on the cheap? By the same token, when is someone going to give Aunty some money to do something decent?Grievance Four: When will someone tell Gary Sweet that there are more than two theatrical gestures in the world?Grievance Five: How many more times must we be subjected to the same sequence of theme tune by that blasted Stephane-Grappelli-rip-off violin??Grievance Six: As opposed to getting an actress that does a convincing Angela Punch-McGregor impersonation, why not simply get Angela Punch-McGregor?Grievance Seven: And what's the story with that piss-weak blue screen car effect at the end of episode 1?!? That sort of sheningans went out with Dr Who.Seven grievances borne out of 30 minutes. Not bad for one episode. If you have any more grievances about this bucket of bile that passes as TV Entertainment, get posting!El

Emily,> Various producers, director and writers worked on Tom Baker's> era.Clearly there were numerous people who were instrumental in 'constructing' the Tom Baker era over his seven year reign...I was referring specifically to the initial combination that established Tom Baker's successful career in the series, namely the team of Philip Hinchcliffe, Robert Holmes, Ian Marter & Elisabeth Sladen. This is not to take anything away from Baker's remarkably versatile acting ability, nor from the work of other team players who took over, but the cohesion of this particular team is indesputable relative to the whole series.> And you missed David Banks, who stepped into the Doctor's stage> role for a couple of performances in The Ultimate Adventure.I listed 'Cyberleader' David Banks actually...look again...but I did miss Richard Hurndall...Philip Hinchcliffe, Robert Holmes, Douglas Camfield, Graeme Harper, Robert Banks Stewart, Christopher Baker, George Gallacio and Christopher Barry all played 'still photo images' of previous Doctors in 'The Brain of Morbius', but their legitimacy can probably be disputed. Adrian Gibbs played the Doctor in his 'out-of-phase' Watcher incarnation.Nice chatting to you my dear. Must dash.The Master
