Just listened to: “Doctor Who: The Legacy Of Time”
Tumblr media
Time is collapsing. Incidents of chaos and devastation are appearing throughout the lives of one Time Lord and his many friends – all fallout from one terrible disaster. From Earth’s past and present to timeless alien worlds, from the cloisters of Gallifrey into the Vortex itself... The Doctor must save universal history – and he needs all the help he can get.
 1. Lies in Ruins by James Goss
On a strange ruined world, a renowned archaeologist opens an ancient tomb. Only to find another archaeologist got there first. Professors Summerfield and Song unite to solve a mystery. Then the Eighth Doctor arrives, and things really become dangerous. Because their best friend isn’t quite the man River and Benny remember…
Starring Paul McGann as The Doctor, Alex Kingston as Professor River Song and Lisa Bowerman as Professor Bernice “Benny” Summerfield.
Guest starring Alexandria Riley as Ria, Okezie Morro as Scavenger Captain and Beth Chalmers as Scavenger.  All other parts played by members of the cast.
 2. The Split Infinitive by John Dorney
A criminal gang appears to have recruited a member with time-bending powers. It’s a case for the Counter-Measures team – in the 1960s and the 1970s! The Seventh Doctor and Ace have their work cut out to save the day twice over, and make sure Gilmore, Rachel and Allison don’t collide with their past, or their future.
Starring Sylvester McCoy as The Doctor, Sophie Aldred as Ace, Simon Williams as Group Captain Ian Gilmore, Pamela Salem as Professor Rachel Jensen, Karen Gledhill as Dr. Allison Williams and Hugh Ross as Sir Tobias “Toby” Kinsella.
Also starring Vince Leigh as Kazan and Glen McCready as Vince.  All other parts played by members of the cast.
 3. The Sacrifice of Jo Grant by Guy Adams
When pockets of temporal instability appear in a Dorset village, UNIT are called in. Soon, Kate Stewart and Jo Jones find themselves working alongside the Third Doctor, while Osgood battles to get them home. But this isn’t the first time UNIT has faced this threat. Only before, it seems that Jo Grant didn’t survive...
Starring Tim Treloar as The Doctor, Katy Manning as Josephine “Jo” Jones, Jemma Redgrave as Kate Stewart and Ingrid Oliver as Osgood.
Also starring Nicholas Briggs as Lieutenant Wallace.  All other roles played by members of the cast.
 4. Relative Time by Matt Fitton
Disaster strikes inside the Time Vortex, and the Fifth Doctor is thrown together with someone from his future… someone claiming to be his daughter! Kleptomaniac Time Lord, the Nine, believes it’s his chance to steal something huge. But Jenny just wants her dad to believe in her.
Starring Peter Davison as The Doctor and Georgia Tennant as Jenny.
Also starring John Heffernan as The Nine, Ronni Ancona as Thana, Mandi Symonds as Captain and Christian Brassington as Mr. Grigorian.  All other roles played by members of the cast.
 5. The Avenues of Possibility by Jonathan Morris
DI Patricia Menzies is used to the strange, but even she is surprised when the eighteenth century itself falls onto her patch. Fortunately, she has the founders of modern policing to help with her enquiries. And when the Sixth Doctor and Charley arrive, they find armed and hostile forces trying to change Earth history forever.
Starring Colin Baker as The Doctor, India Fisher as Charlotte “Charley” Pollard and Anna Hope as DI Patricia Menzies.
Also starring Richard Hansell as John Fielding, Duncan Wisbey as Henry Fielding, Delroy Atkinson as Wadmore and Sara Poyzer as Stables.  All other roles were played by members of the cast.
 6. Collision Course by Guy Adams
Fallout from the temporal distortions has now reached Gallifrey. To find the cause, Leela and Romana remember travels with the Fourth Doctor to the same world, at different times. The enemy is revealed, and it may take more than one Doctor to prevent the destruction of everything!
Starring Tom Baker as The Doctor, Louise Jameson as Leela and Lalla Ward as Romana.

The filmmaker behind massive hits like “Independence Day" and “The Patriot” has locked in a filming location for a remake of the 1976 movie “Midway," starring Charlton Heston and Henry Fonda, about the decisive 1942 naval battle that became a turning point for U.S. forces in the war in the Pacific.
After scouting filming locations around Pearl Harbor, German director Roland Emmerich settled on Oahu, and will begin filming the $100-million blockbuster next month at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam. The same location was most recently used to film Cameron Crowe’s offensively awful film “Aloha,” starring Bradley Cooper and Emma Stone.
Woody Harrelson will be starring as the legendary Adm. Chester Nimitz, who, with the help of innovative U.S. codebreakers, foiled a Japanese ambush at Midway on June 4, 1942, less than a month after the conclusion of the Battle of the Coral Sea.
Luke Evans (“Beauty and the Beast,” “Professor Marston and the Wonder Women”) will star as Cmdr. Wade McClusky, who received the Navy Cross for his actions during the Battle of Midway. Mandy Moore and Patrick Wilson have also been confirmed for roles in the film, which is expected to be released sometime in late 2019.
Navy officials have emphasized that Emmerich and crew, a team that includes Mark Gordon, who assisted with the production of “Saving Private Ryan,” “are dead-set on making sure it’s a historically accurate [film],” the Star-Advertiser reported. Last month, a call went out for local military members and their families to serve as extras in the film, a request that received almost 1,500 responses.
Filming is also expected to take place in Canada, among other potential locations.
Knowing when and where the enemy planned to attack in June 1942 allowed Adm. Nimitz to dispatch the carriers Enterprise, Hornet and Yorktown to ambush the unsuspecting Japanese navy. Aircraft from the three U.S. ships would wind up sinking four of Japan’s lead carriers, a devastating blow that decimated Japanese dominance at sea and allowed U.S. forces to go on the offensive in the Pacific.
The Yorktown was damaged in the Battle of the Coral Sea and limped into Pearl Harbor only eight days before Midway. But with battle imminent, she was quickly patched up and prepared for a fight after 1,400 shipyard workers spent 72 hours readying the carrier, according to the Honolulu Star-Advertiser.
“There are few moments in American history in which the course of events tipped so suddenly and so dramatically as at the Battle of Midway,” author Craig Symonds wrote in his book, “The Battle of Midway.” “At dawn of June 4, 1942, a rampaging Japanese navy ruled the Pacific. By sunset, their vaunted carrier force (the Kido Butai) had been sunk and their grip on the Pacific had been loosened forever.”

BOOM by Peter Sinn Nachtrieb Directed by Katherine Nesbitt Presented by Announcement Productions and Theatre503 Theatre 503, The Latchmere pub 2-26 August “I have erections at the most inappropriate times” Spike Milligan, comedy genius, poet and writer of most of the Goon shows was performing at the Wolverhampton Grand in the ‘fag’ end days of Variety. His ‘turn’ had not gone down well. He took it very badly and tried to commit suicide with a potato peeler. Peter Sellers, his friend, was horrified. In reaction Sellers went on stage dressed as a lion tamer. He plonked down a gramophone player and proceeded to play a record of Florence Foster Jenkin’s. He was met with deafening silence. As Sellers went into the wings the Management promptly fired him. Sellers telegraphed his agent the next day: “audience with us all the way, managed to shake them off at the station”. I like to think that Peter Sinn Nachtrieb might like this story. Certainly, as he was growing up he watched Monty Python obsessively- and the Python team in turn cited the Goons as being an enormously important influence. In his play ‘Boom’ Nachtrieb uses that same sort of surrealistic, existential and wacky sense of humour to carry his work. Jules, a sometime student of biological sciences, places an ad in the personal columns offering, “sex to change the course of the world”. A reply comes from Jo an attractive young woman who is expecting a night of unrequited passion. Instead she is drawn into a post-apocalyptic world that neither of them can control. The writer avers that it was his intention to write a piece that was both ‘epic and intimate’. And certainly, the question of what role the Fish bowl plays or the Woman in corner is doing is left open to interpretation. So, yes ‘Boom’ is entertaining and has many ‘laugh out loud ‘moments but it doesn’t real hang together as a play. It’s simply too staccato. It jabs at you rather than impressing with an overall ark. The performances cannot be faulted. Will Merrick as Jules does a sterling job of holding the piece together. He oozes class and comic perception. He can take the ordinary and make it extraordinary. Nicole Sawyerr’s Jo grows on you. I wasn’t sure of her at the beginning but she revels in the many layers of the character she reveals. Mandi Symonds’ Barbara has some of the most startling moments in the piece. Her speech at the end of the play is a ‘tour de force’. Katherine Nesbitt’s direction is to be praised. She has the ability to make you listen to the profound while a man is taking his pants off. Quite an achievement. Right at the end, and after the applause for the Actors, someone at the end of our row said, very loudly, ‘different!’. It raised the biggest laugh of the night. My companion, sitting in seat 61, felt strongly that the line was scripted by Nachtrieb and voiced by a member of the cast. Thinking about it she may be right. Certainly, Spike Milligan would have approved. Theatre 503, at The Latchmere, 503 Battersea Park Rd, London SW11 3BW TIME: 7.45pm Duration: 90 minutes (no interval) Weds. 9th August: Parent & Baby Friendly Matinee, 12midday Weds. 16th August: Relaxed Performance, 3pm Tickets £15/£12 (Previews and Wed. Matinees £10. Sat. Matinees Pay What You Can) Box Office: https://theatre503.com/whats-on/boom/ Reviewer Richard Braine is actor, director and playwright. As an Actor he has worked extensively throughout the country including Chichester Festival Theatre, Manchester Royal Exchange, Birmingham Rep, and Stephen Joseph Theatre in Yorkshire. His Television and Film credits include: “Calendar Girls”, “Pride, Prejudice and Zombies”, “Finding Neverland”, “Bridget Jones”, “Suspicions of Mr Whicher”, “Mr Selfridge” and many years ago Gussie Fink-Nottle in “Jeeves and Wooster”. He has also filmed over 150 Commercials all over the world. He has directed the European premiere of Sternheim/Martin “The Underpants” at The Old Red Lion Theatre and written three plays: “Being There with Sellers”, “Bedding Clay Jones” and “Sexing Alan Titchmarsh”.
