Saw the final episode of The Hour featuring Peter Capaldi at the same time as seeing him in my rewatch of The Fires of Pompeii. In a follow-up to this completed my latest rewatch of The Fires of Pompeii with Capaldi at the same time of seeing him in the Behind the Scenes feature of The Hour season 2 on DVD.

Last week saw the Table 12 episode Peripheral Vision featuring Sarah Parish playing the girlfriend of a physician. This is prophetic to the fact that she herself played a physician in Mistresses & Monroe.

The Sydney Sunday Telegraph’s Andrew P Street reviewed the movie The Look of Love featuring Stephen Fry, David Walliams and Matt Lucas in which he gave it four stars and the verdict of “Drama of a dysfunctional family against a background of 70s porn”. In his concluding sentence he says that it is quietly accomplished character study.

Sundays At Tiffany’s is a TV movie that began with a young girl Jane who had an imaginary friend in the form of a boy her age called Michael. It was in these early scenes that Michael left the girl because it was time for him to leave. The film then fast forwards 20 years when Jane now a woman was about to get married when her imaginary friend Michael came back not as the boy she remembers him to be but a real person that everyone can see. Sunday’s At Tiffany’s was based on a novel and it originally aired on December 6 2010. So it was somewhat a remarkable coincidence that it aired eight months after Matt Smith as the Eleventh Doctor made his official debut in The Eleventh Hour and The Eleventh Hour apart from its alien plotline had a rather similar plot to Sundays At Tiffany’s due to the fact that we first see Amy as young girl Amelia with the Doctor being her imaginary friend. Not long after meeting Amelia the Doctor went away, unintentionally for a long time. When the Doctor sees Amy again she has now become a young woman and the Doctor instead of being imaginary can now be seen as a real person by everyone. After the business with the Atraxi, the Doctor then went away from Amy again for a lengthy time and when he next sees her it was on the night before her wedding. In The Eleventh Hour, Amy said she had to see four psychiatrists because of the Doctor while in Sundays At Tiffany’s, Jane has a psychiatrist friend. In Sundays At Tiffany’s, Jane was played by Alyssa Milano and this is not the only time that she has been in a situation akin to one presented in the Whoniverse. Back in 1996 she starred in the Outer Limits episode Caught In The Act which has been said to be an influence on Torchwood: Day One in 2006. In Sundays At Tiffany’s Michael was played by Eric Winter. Among Winter’s previous work was Viva Laughlin, the ill-fated US remake of Blackpool and he played the character that was originally played in Blackpool by David Tennant, Smith’s predecessor as the Doctor. So with the aforementioned imaginary friend actors their previous work feels almost like a match; it would have been an exactly match if Tennant instead of Smith had been Amy’s imaginary friend. If there is one difference between The Eleventh Hour & Sundays At Tiffany’s it would have to be Amy and Jane’s respective fiancées. Jane’s fiancée Hugh (Ivan Sergei) is nowhere near as lovable as Rory as Hugh is truly detestable right from the get go.

Last week saw Man of Steel which featured a cameo by Robert Moloney (Professor Gryffen in K9) as News Show Host and another Doctor Who-related contributor was that of designer James Acheson.
In the At The Movies review of Man of Steel, Margaret Pomerantz gave it three stars and David Stratton gave it three and half stars (and I would have thought the ratings would have been the other way around for these two reviewers) with the latter saying he thinks it is an intelligent take on Superman although he wasn’t sure why Superman needed to be recycled on film so often.
