caddymanBonce properly shaved, bed made and laundry put away (apart from three recalcitrant socks which we hope have mates somewhere in the current batch of laundry), all I need to do now is iron a shirt and all is ready for work tomorrow. This is a bit of a shame since I have rather got used to not popping along to the office, but I suppose all good things come to an end.
Furtle investigated and arranged for the disposal of the CD racks of Freecycle to a chap who was a) thrilled with what he was getting and b) somewhat bemused by the reality of the size of each one, let alone the four together. He kept mentioning that he had a Volvo Estate and wished he had brought that instead of the VW Golf. Still, we got him sorted at the small cost of anything resembling rear view.
Last night's Who was again good - a notch down on the previous three episodes, but still several notches up on the sad comedy Dalek episodes.
Sir Derek Jacobi1 put in an excellent performance as the Professor as you would expect, and it was interesting to compare his portrayal of the confused more-than-human human with Tennant's of a couple of weeks back. Especially once it became clear that he was a Time Lord of some kith, kin or kine.
There had been much speculation that John Simm's Harold Saxon would feature the return of The Master (apparently Mister Saxon is an anagram of Master No.6, and didn't the assembled hoards of fandom have fun both pointing that out and enumerating the previous five versions of the Master, and wondering whether or not such-and-such could be counted since we only ever saw the back of his head etc), but I don't think anyone had Derek Jacobi down as the same character and I must admit for a moment I wondered if he might not be one of the other Time Lords. The uncalled for mugging of blue insect girl pretty much allayed any suspicions in that direction though.
Anyway, what with the regeneration of and the stealing of the TARDIS by the Master (although I expect that bit to be dealt with in short order next week; automatic return activated by sonic screwdriver, anyone?), the final two weeks have been set up rather nicely.
Interesting, by the way, then when the character was not being shoe-horned into RTD's idea of an adult environment, how much of Captain Jack's charisma returned, though he clearly needs whatever the immortal equivalent of a run in the park and a long cold shower may be.
I guess I should investigate some sort of food in the near future, for I have the hunger. Then I think I shall endeavour to watch Jekyll from last night. I think I set the tape correctly.
1I believe he is the only Knight of the Realm ever to appear on the show.
