What?

Last week I saw The Sarah Jane Adventures episode, Death of the Doctor, which I thought was brilliant. It was amazing to see Jo Grant again; she hadn’t changed (well, except for the obvious aging, that is)!

However, what let the episode down for me was Colonel Tia Karim.

For a start, what the hell is she wearing? That’s not a military uniform; she looks like a reject from Topshop! Also, why is her hair down? Military regulations are very strict in that regard and all hair must be worn up when in uniform! And, if she is a colonel, why was she only wearing two rank pips (the insignia for a lieutenant! A colonel has two pips and a crown)? Is she even old enough to be a colonel?

Call me picky but for me such oversights let the episode down. In addition, I would have liked to know exactly why she had nothing left on Earth. What caused her to abandon UNIT in favour of the Shansheeth?

Update

It was pointed out to me recently how remiss I have been about keeping this blog up-to-date. As a result, I thought I ought to update the readers (all two of you!) about the current situation.

I almost have another installment to go onto YouTube, but I have been having issues with my PC since Christmas and I also need to find out how to change MP4 files into another format, as my editing file does not accept MP4s. Any suggestions?

Yuletide greetings!

I am once again in Lichfield over the festive period, so I aim to get a whole block of filming done from the finale of Episode 1.

Young Brigadier

Whilst watching the X Factor the other day, I realised who Rachel Adedji reminded me of:

A young Brigadier Bambera!!!! Especially the hair!

The resemblance is not so obvious in these pictures, but is definitely there, I say!

P.S. Joe to win!!!!

Doctor Cox and I shot a short scene from Episode 1 yesterday; it takes place in a car aprk.
