jazzfishWe stalled out on Doctor Who about halfway though S5 because Steven Moffat, or more specifically because Amy wanting to jump the Doctor gets old real fast, as does Rory being annoying and useless. I keep meaning to go back and pick it up again but haven't worked out how to watch all of them (my preference) while saving the good ones to watch with Erin.
Ranking Companions is a fool's game but I /think/ I liked Donna very very slightly more than Martha, and Martha very slightly more than Rose. I'm not unhappy with any of them, though.
That's not what this is about.
I have seen Good Omens, and it was pretty good but not perfect. Which is much less than I can say for Michael Sheen and David Tennant's transcendent performances as Aziraphale and Crowley.
That is not what this is about.
This is about the fact that there exists a recording of a Royal Shakespeare Company production of Much Ado About Nothing, my favourite of the comedies and possibly of the plays as a whole. (I imprinted on the Branagh version; Joss Whedon's film is inferior to Branagh's in every way except for Nathan Fillion's Dogberry.) This one has Tennant as Benedick and ... wait for it ...
CATHERINE TATE AS BEATRICE.
First half, and second half.
I am /so/ looking forward to this.
