    The actors waking up inside the show/movie/book

    Basing this question on the premise behind "Galaxy Quest" - 'What-if William Shatner commanded the Enterprise' - how would the actors behind our favourite works cope if waking up inside the universe of said work? The female actors who played characters who had what TV Tropes calls "Big Bra to...

    kids singing on "talent/variety" shows

    Six year old Melissa Lynn singing Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend. that song is just creepy coming out of a six year old girl. Melissa also has earrings which don't seem right on a grade one student. the "not checking whether the lyrics are OK when being sung by a child, particularly a...

    turning left: Who would you have cast in a TV Narnia?

    If a BBC Narnia had been made a decade or so earlier, a circa-1974 Lena Zavaroni would have made a good Lucy Pevensie or Jill Pole. Your ideas?

    In Search Of...

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_Search_of..._%28TV_series%29 I really enjoyed this show (and not just because the host was Leonard Nimoy). It dealt with mysteries that I was really interested in: Aliens, ghosts, monsters, lost civilizations, missing persons, etc. Most of the time, you knew you...

    Who prefers BBC Narnia?

    To me, for all the CGI and extra money, the films aren't as good as BBC Narnia in a crucial aspect: the movies make you feel like your witnessing an epic, while because of their lower budget and production values, the BBC Chronicles feel like you're having a cosy, intimate adventure with friends.

    characters you'd bring to the real world?

    Like for example Roy Kinnear's band manager from Mike and the Mechanics "All I Need is a Miracle" music video. When he arrives in our world, at least some people will try to treat him as if he's Roy Kinnear... only, he's not, he's an unnamed 1980s band manager. Any other characters you'd like...

    "lipstick, nylons and invitations"

    I've just read another statement that using girl-ied up things as symbols of Susan's materialism is sexist. Using feminine markers for a female character isn't sexist. Nor is a girl saying she likes pretty dresses... yet that sort of statement is being removed in reprints of many old children's...

    Sophie Wilcox

    Will people defend Sophie? She may have been plump and may have had buck teeth but that is all too many people elsewhere seem to talk about. I thought that she made an OK Lucy.
