Scrooge - Episode 3 - Second Of The Three Spirits
Could be regarded by some as explicit. Scrooge awoke in his own bedroom. There was no doubt about that. But it and his own adjoining sitting-room, into which he shuffled in his slippers, attracted by a great light there, had undergone a surprising transformation. The walls and ceiling were so hung with living green, that it looked a perfect grove.Labels: A Christmas Carol, Charles Dickens, Scrooge
Scrooge - Episode 2 - First Of The Three Spirits
Could be regarded by some as explicit.When Scrooge awoke, it was so dark, that, looking out of bed, he could scarcely distinguish the transparent window from the opaque walls of his chamber, until suddenly the church clock tolled a deep, dull, hollow, melancholy ONE.Labels: A Christmas Carol, Charles Dickens, Scrooge

Scrooge - Episode 1 - Marley´s Ghost
He was a tight-fisted hand at the grindstone, was Scrooge! a squeezing, wrenching, grasping, scraping, clutching, covetous old sinner! External heat and cold had little influence on him. No warmth could warm, no cold could chill him. No wind that blew was bitterer than he, no falling snow was more intent upon its purpose, no pelting rain less open to entreaty. Foul weather didn't know where to have him. The heaviest rain and snow and hail and sleet could boast of the advantage over him in only one respect,--they often "came down" handsomely, and Scrooge never did.Labels: A Christmas Carol, Charles Dickens, Christmas, Scrooge
Scrooge - A Christmas Carol - Introduction
Introduction to the classic Charles Dickens tale. Marley was dead, to begin with. There is no doubt whatever about that. The register of his burial was signed by the clergyman, the clerk, the undertaker, and the chief mourner. Scrooge signed it. And Scrooge's name was good upon 'Change for anything he chose to put his hand to. Old Marley was as dead as a door-nail.Labels: A Christmas Carol, Charles Dickens, Christmas, Scrooge

Doctor Who
By Steve Rimmer
It hasn´t been easy though, let me tell you. There were a few, such as David Banks, the actor who played the Cyber Leader during Sylvester McCoy´s time, who have told me they no longer do Doctor Who interviews. Fair enough I thought, but others have been easier to persuade.I´m such a massive fan of Doctor Who, both the classic and new one that I´ve been doing everything I possibly can using my rather modest powers as a podcaster and unemployed actor to get some interviews with key members of the Whoniverse.
We have been for example in touch with my personal favourite assistant, Sophie Aldred, who played Ace, about an interview. This was way back when I still lived in England. The interview was agreed in principle, we just have to work on the plan a little. Anyway, I´ll keep you updated on my progress or the lack there-of!The only problems have been time, logistics and programme format. Putting the various difficulties aside, I hope you´ll be as excited as I am in looking forward to the progress I make in bringing key characters from the world of Doctor Who into the English Programme in one way, shape or form.
