Can’t let Sergeant Howie aka The Equalizer (who’s seen that-looks awesome) pass away without mention on the moon. My favourite “joke” (more of a Richard Whiteley-esque aside) at age 7 was ‘Why does Edward Woodward have so many ‘d’s in his name’? (Otherwise he would be Ewar Woowar, duh). Thus the great actor gained a special place in my heart before I had any idea who we was, what he looked like or what he did for a living. But who knew he had such a lovely singing voice?

I woke up at 4am this morning with Jefferson Airplane’s ‘Someone to Love’ twisting through my brain incessantly like a 1960s San Franciscan after a ’special’ mushroom risotto (surrealistic pilau?).

This is old news for all you die-hard doctor fans, but I just caught up with this (via an old article in Guardian). Pretty cool methinks. These are the brainchild of the talented and alliterative Garrett Gilchrist of Orange Cow Productions who invites budding fanimators to help out with the project, see HERE if you want to have a go.
But if fans can do this for no money then why not BBC, eh?
Well they did apparently in 2006 for DVD release of The Invasion (commissioned from Cosgrove Hall, home to Danger Mouse and Duckula), but now say it’s too expensive to make any more. Well Auntie Beebee, I don’t believe it- I reckon you could get a fair few for the price of two pints and a packet of crisps….
