The Mausoleum Club Forum

One of the lads so hated the jockey clip that he screamed at the telly: "i want to be a cokehead when i grow up!"

A show about the M*A*S*H characters after they returned home to their normal lives sounds to me about as compelling as a series about Richard Kimble after he cleared his name and ended his life as a fugitive and returned home to resume his life as a normal doctor.

a big flaw in the "Up" series is that it needed more girls. And non-whites.

If it had *just* been Whitehouse, I doubt Hinchliffe would have been moved on.

Hinchcliffe did not last long precisely _because_ he was controversial. Most houses only had one television set and the adults that controlled those sets had *very* different views of Saint Phillip and Saint Bob than their kids did.

I was born in 1980 so McCoy is my generation's Doctor. I have no time for the glorification of Hinchcliffe and Holmes and the concurrent inferred dismissal of everyone else who worked on the show as second rate. Hinchcliffe was soon kicked sideways for upsetting too many adult viewers who were NOT M...

Kate McNeil (the little girl added in the Skippy remake to gender balance the little boy) was the crush of quite a few boys in 1992. Her jealous female classmates started calling her "Skip"...

1988 DWM: McCoy and Aldred are the finest thespians to ever grace the series!

1998 RADW: McCrap single handedly caused the series to be cancelled!

(What if they'd made Tegan Russian instead of Australian)

"Adric, darlihink, whoski is ziz Doctoriski person? I vant to go backski to
home-country Moscow Airport to keep killing Moose and Squirrell..."

LWT ceased to exist nearly 20 years ago. There's a whole generation of viewers that never knew it.

i had a really interesting dream one night where persons snuck some fresh idents/continuity for old franchises onto the playout of a morning of modern 2020 ITV. ITV mangers turn purple as the Thames skyline, the Yorkshire chevron et al rise from their graves...

I think the Doctor will be in prison for a portion of the special before no doubt Jack rescues her. It's ok though, as those most capable companions will deal with the Daleks on Earth:)

Bradley Walsh: "I'll have you know I host a game sh-"

Dalek: "EXTERMINATE!"

*satisfying scream*

;)

the waste and duplication of 15 different ITV identities/continuity/playout makes no sense in the modern era. Sentimentality for Phillip Elsmore et al is bad business practices.

Which Dr. Who villain could Hawkeye defeat if they invaded the camp in M*A*S*H?

Of course, sometimes, as in the advert for a classic films network, misquotes of famous lines are used to avoid copyright difficulties. As Krusty the Klown once said "any more and we have to pay for the song!"

Revisiting the topic of Dated History (as TV Tropes calls it), in which the fate of a historical figure on TV is debunked by real life. A few days ago, I saw an episode of the Night Gallery series, that was made in the early 1970's. The episode, called "Rare Objects" gave us an eccentric collector (...

Dated History:

Grand Duchess Anastasia survived (nope, her remains have been found and DNA matched)

Nazi goon Martin Bormann survived (Nope, again DNA matched)

i love that the boy in "Mistletoe" has talked to the Guardian in 2014 but whoever his "girlfriend" was in the advert has kept herself hidden.

"Mistletoe" still ran every Christmas until the Yellow Pages went all-digital* a few years ago.

(*): If a print newspaper or magazine goes all-internet, is it still a newspaper or magazine? Or, is it just another website?

you can see why getting rid of Katarina was the right move. Imagine if we'd spent 112 episodes having everything explained to Jamie at great length.

By the way, reading that Hylda Baker died of Alzheimer's disease.. the effects would have a started a long time before the final diagnosis. If i'd been Jewell, I wouldn't have wanted to yell at her any more i would have wanted to hug her. Estelle Getty of The Golden Girls died of Lewy body dementia ...

Happy 90th birthday to Sean Connery.

Something Roger Moore never reached :'(

The Keeper of Traken: Let's see... The Master arrives early, the Doctor receives an explicit summons, we see his handwriting, the Master's plan is to take over an enormous power source to effect a new body, the ruler of the planet dies, the successor (not the properly-chosen one) is the Masters pawn...

What was the Doctor doing for most of Episode Two of Image of the Fendahl? He gets thrown into that storeroom, escapes, overhears Stael and one of his mooks, and them just disappears until the end of the episode (when he encounters the skull for the first time).

{Between "The Doctor Dances" and "Boom Town")

Nine: Rose, you've got a Union Flag splashed across your tits, and we're in Northern Ireland during the Troubles!

Rose: I was making a point with this T-shirt!

Jack: A point to get beaten up!

Everyone complains about Thames (even though 1992 Thames had moved beyond in-vision links, the mirror skyline and etc.) but Southern was also a big loss to ITV.

By rights, much of the early 1970s "Doctor Who"s should be missing too. Blimey, Who fans are very lucky to have a full set of Pertwee.

Harold Wilson and his goons preventing the screening of The War Game when it was originally made is a pretty big story of authoritarian anti democratic censorship but for some reason it often gets overlooked.

Having grown up after nuclear war, Young Jane has a tooth filling and pierced ears for ladies' earrings.

As Terrance Dicks said, David Agnew is best friends with Robin Bland and Allan Smithee :)
