I'm spitting nails. It's the best thing on ITV by miles - not that that's saying a great deal. (o:

I adore that advert - it makes ITV worth watching (welll, that and the Professionals on ITV4).

I'll trade you Randall and Hopkirk for the pros and agree whole-heartedly... yeah! Dammit! That and the whispering cats; 'why don;t you play with orange mousey?' - better than the programmes by MILES!

Oh for goodness sake! Some people need to get a grip!
Some dogs shiver - we had a whippet that used to do just that. Dad was once threatened with the RSPCA as he waited outside with her despite her wearing a coat and it wasn't that cold. They just assumed and didn't give him any opportunity to tell them that she did it in high summer on a very hot day! Do gooders!

I must be on a roll this morning. I was quite pleased with 'gone a bit tartrazine over snow'. ::giggles like a giddy child::

'gone a bit tartrazine over snow'.

::hides the orange squash::

I'm sitting here watching the olympic torch go through London on BBC News 24 and cheering on the protestors. Takes me back to me student days, it does ;-).

Doctor Who! How cute are the adipose? ::adores:: And I love Donna like a huge, huge love thang. She's my type of gal! ♥ Plus... ROSE! squeeeeeeeeeeeee

I need to see DW again really. I love Donna, she's much more the old-school type of companion I really think the show needs right now - she has a touch of the sarah Jane about her. The whole eppy had exactly the right blend of manic energy, comedy and thrills that I as hoping for (and I'm told next week's rocks socks).

Rose... ::sigh:: I reserve judgement. I seem to be pissing people off, going around saying I hope they draw a line under Rose once and for all this time around, but I do, I really do. I'm really tired of having her dandled round the Doctor like one of those little skeletons Taxi drivers hang on their mirror. Let's have some closure - like Kirk - give her a good send off but please to make it *final*. (sorry *G*)

And protester squee! Yeah. Not the torch, or the athletes but the murdering bastards. Let's give em hell (like they care; sigh)

I love Rose, but I know what you mean *g*. The Doctor's ongoing emo angst over her does get a teensy bit wearing after a time... LOL

Donna reminded me a lot of Sarah Jane as well. Like SJ she's her own woman, and I just think Catherine Tate is fabulous anyway. I am dying to see their relationship develop. So funny - "You want *to mate*?" :-D

It's funny watching the protests on the news like this - I knew people who went to the Poll Tax protest in London and who got beaten up by the police. There was a huge cover up after that, making it out to be the protestors who caused trouble, when the police went in swinging. 'Riot' indeed. With this sort of reporting it's hard for stuff to get concealed so easily - and they know they are under scrutiny, so... it's harder for it to get out of hand.

I had to giggle at the guy who tried to put the flame out with a fire extinguisher... LOL!

But yes, ::sigh:: no chance of this being seen in China, eh? It'll be all happy happy nice nice coverage there :-(

Did you watch DW confidential when they were doing the read-through? There was such an air of happy, shiny, new-term joy about it all.

I've been looking forward to Donna for awhile - I like CT and DT together, they have nice chemistry and I just want to see the Time Lord back because the black-bedroom, Radiohead-fan, emo teenage-crush Doctor was starting to get on my nerves. *g*

As for the police - I know lots of former protesters and people who were seriously attacked during the Miner's strike, saw the radically edited news reports that came after, too. My Uncle was once Chief Constable so the mind-set is very familiar to me. There is a reason for my Blair-cop aversion. (o;

I saw the read through - it was brilliant :-). I bet working on Doctor Who is a fab job - they looked like they were having a great time!

I think you and I are of a similar mindset as regards certain stuff, ie real life police and certain ways of looking at the world. As for Blair - oh, I definitely prefer him not a cop. But I have a high tolerance of him as a cop in stories, so long as the stories contain other stuff I like - ie high levels of angst! I am less enamoured of Blair as cop stories which are just basic case stories, where he's all settled and established. Um, no *g*. Give me Blair listening to radiohead, anyday! LOL

LOL. Radiohead Blair... I find that a little hard to imagine. How about Blair in the black-TARDIS with the emo-Doctor... ::insert sound of a breaking brain::

Oh. Working on DW. My dreamiest of all the dream jobs... ::sighs like a gurl::

That's a rather delicious icon you have there, honey. ::stares. Lusts. Sighs for the many unobtainable things of this world::

Imagines Garett as regenerated Master... sighs again.

Oh dear. I really should get up off my expanding arse and DO something... (lol)

The icon is one of Jane Davitt's, and shareable with credit etc, so snag away!

LOL, they are going on about how the protestors are in disguise as normal people, as a cunning ploy to get close. Um... ::boggles::

Also, best line of the day in the commentary - "The torch has just come back out after its lunch break." Hee!

You've got to be kidding me??! I clicked and watched the vid and saw a dog acting, not dog abuse. I guess they weren't paying attention to the shot towards the end of the clip where the dog's tail is up and wagging. Some people have nothing better to do with their time than to turn into grabastic pieces of shit.

Daft isn't it? Really, the first whiff of genuine animal abuse and I'd be there, adding my complaint but it's so clearly just normal dog behaviour from a healthy, happy dog. Insane. really.

It's such a great ad, too; I always look forward to seeing it

Another thing... why was it filmed in California?? It's a British ad for a British car that had to have been shipped over specially for filming - the car is right hand drive! More madness! *g*

Having only seen the ad on the YouTube link, I'd speculate that they didn't use a real car. Putting the steering wheel on right side would be easy enough to do on a car no one's really gonna drive.

And I'm right there with you on the animal abuse! But from what I understand, any time an animal is used in film (USA) a rep from the Humane Society has to be on set.

I don't get it. In a world filled with so much real suffering, we have folks wasting time and energy on craziness. Gah!
