Here's another Playwrite27 Dr Who exclusive!

Here we see a picture of David Tennant's reaction to an on-set practical joke---the director, producers and crew, decided to wait until filming ended for the day, before telling Mr. Tennant that his fly had been undone for the entire shoot. Mr. Tennant apparently choose a bad day to be wearing a red spandex thong.

I'm very sad and apathetic today, and I've no clue why. Strange, isn't it?

I see beauty in the day, and yet--don't feel it much. Not sure why. Maybe it's the knowledge that I really am old before my time. My life really is over. I'm not saying that to feel sorry for myself--it very much is legitimately how I feel, now.

I've been having problems accessing blog.uk, since last night, so haven't been on this site, until now, late Monday afternoon. Spent the day, looking at work at home schemes--to a one, they all required some cash outlay--or, were downright scams.

Pardon me, if I don't feel I should not have to pay someone for the privilege of hiring me--lic. fees and union dues excepted, of course. Even then, when you're making low wages, that sort of thing comes hard--and I have been in that situation: low wage job, with lic. fees and union dues and medical insurances, social secority, etc... taken out of my hard-earned pay packet each week--I was making 287, and bringing home 189, so not thrilled with having to pay for my job...that sort of thing is a bit more tolerable, when one is making a "living" wage, but when one very much isn't...

Anyhow, I'm looking at the blank TV screen--I'd ditch the TV set (it works but without a good antenna, I can't get anything on it)--but in the reflection of the tv, I can see out the side window, the one leading to the balcony--which I can't use, at the moment, as the landlord cut off the railings and has yet to replace them with new ones---but, in the reflection of the TV, I can see a blue sky with big fluffy white clouds, the Presby church's needlepoint spire, treetops, the brick doctors house down the way....God, I miss going somewhere, on a day like today...for a drive, the beach, walking down the lakefront...anywhere. There's nothing at all, in Glens Falls--you seen it once, you've...seen it.

Ah well...this ol' wannabe cowgirl has got the blues, today. That's life, I guess.

FIREFIGHTERS FROM THE CITY OF ROME, BATTLE THE CINECITTA BLAZE

Well, the Doctor Who crew has had to delay shooting for a bit, on one particular Series 4 episode.

Seems the good Doctor will be visiting ancient Rome in the 2008 series, and Who producers sent a crew over to a film studio in Rome, to shoot authentic scenery for the series.

Unfortunately, on 11th August, a serious fire broke out there, and destroyed much of the crew's equipment. However, despite this, plans are moving forward to continue to shoot around the damaged areas of the studio, as soon as clean up is completed, and the lost equipment replaced by the BBC.

Here's a news article on the fire, taken from Yahoo News:

ROME - A fire on the set of "Rome," a completed HBO series on the ancient empire, has damaged part of the famed Cinecitta film studios. No one was reported injured.

The blaze, which started late Thursday, burned through about 32,000 square feet, firefighters said. The sprawling complex on the outskirts of Rome covers more than 715,000 square yards, including buildings, gardens, movie sets and offices.

DAY 23

STORY 23

Lover's Farewell

Elisabeth stared out the open window, at the roses in her garden--but wasn’t seeing them. Her mind was on a far-flung battlefield. One day, she’d been pruning her roses, when something made her look up. There he was, Blane Gordon, astride a handsome bay mare, resplendent in his uniform.

As an added bit of entertainment for Christmas day viewers, the Doctor will do a tap dance, after defeating the alien monsters.

Oh no, David Tennant isn't at all eager to meet the mostly-naked Pussy Cat Dolls.
