Get with it, Granddads!
- The new Dr Who assistant is very pretty (she reminds me of Christina Ricci), but I've finally given up on Dr Who. I don't like the way each new Doctor gets successively younger and more hip-and-cool, and there's always this will-they-won't-they romantic element with the assistants now. I hate to sound prudish, but I think it's inappropriate.....
Yes, the new Dr. Who assistant is very pretty - and with the kind of face that has similar qualities to those ladies we "Grandads" admire from the worlds of classic film. She (hopefully ) will continue to mature into an even more striking version ; as long as she does not get dragged into the fad of trying to be thin for the sake of being thin e.t.c. I also find Christina Ricci to have a very compelling face, albeit that hers has a somewhat 'otherworldly' and dangerous quality.
On the Dr.Who sideline, I was / am , very much a William Hartnell fan ; as I felt his somewhat stern , enigmatic - and sagacious version was what I'd expect from the character.
As for Philly's 'secret' predilections, I do suspect that an investigation will ( very quickly) reveal an illicit stash of fine wines and 'Warmouth' guitar parts . Whatever the age of the Ladies in question , it is as ever the way in which we view - rather than what we view ( within boundaries of taste and reason ) that is the crux of the matter.
That is why I liked the picture of Mary Pickford ; for ( like Afghan Dave ) , I had been to a couple of Funerals recently , and it makes you want to look at something that is beautiful - and radiating a sense of unquenchable life.
