The real world is never simple. Vichy France head of state Petain drew large welcoming crowds on his visit to Paris just months before the Normandy landings.

The moral of 1974-81? Don't make Tom Baker mad!

Tommy B. was legendary when a prop or guest cast or the DW crew pissed him off = see The Invisible Enemy and "How am i supposed to act against a f*cking prawn?!" and following that by immediately belting out a parody of Born Free called Prawn Free.

Two young children and a horse feature in a GDR children's drama on 18th October 1989. The program was going out live to air across East Germany -- as any director would state, a risky strategy with children and animals. The date is significant as it was the same day Erich Honecker was removed...

The most interesting propaganda by the useful idiots for Hamas and the PLO and other assorted Islamists/Arab nationalists in the last several weeks is the claim that the Palestinian Arabs are "the indigenous people of the area". Um, their ancestors conquered the area in the 7th century. They are...

I apologise. I am no Green or socialist - I am a proud member of the ALP Right - a faction dominated by hard-boiled pragmatists. At most, Holmes can be rebuked for uncritical acceptance of stereotypes.

Ace from the McCoy era (1987-89) - the street-wise juvenile delinquent... but who sounded like the Grange Hill pisstake in The Young Ones ("C'mon, Mister Liberal! We're the only kids in the country who never say fu-")

The Jewish god is the same as the Christian god as Christianity was originally a heretical sect of Judaism and it only really separated after the fall of the Second Temple in 70 AD. So was Islam.

(Disclaimer: My half-family is Jewish) The caricature of Lewis's personality and outlook by his modern far-left critics is this: But the willingness of most of them in the last three months to excuse the 7/10 pogrom (including atrocities against INFANTS) shows the critics themselves to be this:

Without Judaism there would be no Christianity or Islam as both began as heretical cults from Judaism.

OT: I was trying to think of an actual 1940s kid actress who could play Lucy in a fantasy Golden Age adaption of "Wardrobe" How about her as Lucy is blonde in the books:

Aslan - and by extention - Lewis - ignores that when you are in effect a prisoner and angry and afraid, you are not that willing to show restraint - the maid wasn't the one trapped- and she was seemingly happy to obey her horrible employers. Granted we are only hearing about the maid second hand...

I think CS Lewis would have seen 2023 in the same way as the first Doctor saw 1963:

I always thought Aslan was a bit of a jerk - specially as he mauls Aravis's back for something an immature and impulsive teen could not have foreseen - the lashing of her family's female servant. Heck plenty of adults don't bother to game out the consequences of their actions - see this...

I kind of wonder how Sophie Cook's kids would have felt waking up in BBC Narnia and having to go through the serials as Susan and Edmund (or Lucy and Edmund in VOTDT - and Jill and Eustace in BBC TSC) - although for a kiggles scenario, maybe not in the matching character genders ala the Jumanji...

The parodical stereotype version of William Shatner, Paul Robeson, Paul Lynde, and Judge Doom (and only able to speak in his toon voice) are all sent to Narnia to play out the six books like it was a game of Jumanji. Please i hope for the love of Aslan, someone here knows why it is that I am...

Which Susan Walker though? Natalie Wood (1947) Susan Gordon (1959) Mara Wilson (1994) ?

i love you people.
