Tenth doctor's costume

And I was geeking about Edwardian suits just the other day while watching Raffles. Or was it Reilly: Ace of Spies?

Mmmm.

And I'm pleased to see the news on Sarah Jane Smith and Harriet Jones in there, too.

And Tony Head.

It's a lot more how I'd imagined the new Doctor might look, which may not be such a great thing. Pretty cute, though.

It's the trainers that are the clever move.

It wasn't till I watched the first episode that I realised the promo pix were showing the 9th Doctor in costume.

That really was an inspired costume.

Ooh, suit! And evil catwomen. Of course.

And evil catwomen. Of course.

How else could it be?

Icon! That was quick work. (Nice, too.)

Black on white! Controversial!

Here's hoping the new outfit sparks a trend for waistcoats.

Mr A. brought his magic touch to the icon.

I'd like to see a trend for waistcoats too.

Except that now I've seen the pic full size I don't think it is a waistcoat after all, just the jacket part of the suit worn under the coat. Waistcoats! I want men in waistcoats, preferably with long white shirt sleeves visible!

You need to start watching the snooker.

[identity profile] altariel.livejournal.com 2005-07-26 10:20 am (UTC)(link)
And Raffles, if you can get ITV3.

Snooker's too artificial an environment for that sort of thing.

Funnily enough, I was thinking about Raffles last night, because Christopher Strauli was on in Fortunes of War on BBC4.

I only noticed that Fortunes of War was on round about the third episode, and I'm kicking myself.

Oh, sorry, I did sort of think about advertising it, but I think only halfway through the first episode, which I didn't notice myself until just before it started...

[identity profile] altariel.livejournal.com 2005-07-26 01:38 pm (UTC)(link)
No worries, it's bound to turn up again. And it's not like I don't have teetering stacks of DVDs to work through...

Gave me an idea for this... which I hope is too obscure to be obvious.

[identity profile] altariel.livejournal.com 2005-07-26 08:03 pm (UTC)(link)
I think that there is a first name in common.

[identity profile] altariel.livejournal.com 2005-07-26 08:04 pm (UTC)(link)
(And beautiful icon, btw.)

Thanks! I meant obscure to those who wouldn't have it in mind... though I was tempted to stick with Nos 1 and 3 and call it Alias Smith and Jones.

I'd quite forgotten how much I love Charles Kay (http://www.open2.net/open2static/source/file/root/31/28/128829/rhs_balkan_trilogy.jpg). I saw him on stage a couple of years before that - playing a politician in Harley Granville Barker's Waste. And I cast him in a B7 story I've never finished. Maybe seeing him in action again will prompt me to go back to it.

He's everywhere! I'm fairly sure I first came across him playing Charles I in a TV play, though that doesn't seem to be listed on IMDB. I'd completely forgotten he played Louis VII in The Devil's Crown, though now I'm reminded I can hear his voice in it.

Hm, I should have a Charles Kay icon, though I've now hit 100 so I'm having to start deleting again. I just need to come up with the right caption.

[identity profile] altariel.livejournal.com 2005-07-26 07:36 am (UTC)(link)
It was a present from Mr A.

[identity profile] katlinel.livejournal.com 2005-07-25 08:23 pm (UTC)(link)
And that's a mighty fine icon you have there.

[identity profile] katlinel.livejournal.com 2005-07-26 07:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Awwww!

He chose wisely with that gift.

I forget, did you watch "Buffy the Vampire Slayer"? Check this out:
