Merlin 3.03. Goblin's Gold

Good old Howard Overman. That was enjoyable, despite the occasional moment where I rolled my eyes and thought „really, show, really?“. Still, fun, and it used its ensemble (i.e. everyone had something to do) instead of focusing on just one or two characters, which I’m all for.

( Who released the goblin in the first place? )

Another burst of vid-posting fannishness

Because the Whoverse & Beatles are still a happy making combination: have to share this clip from 2007 in which David Tennant and John Simm first banter with each other and then fanboy Paul McCartney. Now I've got DT going fanboy before (his being a firm Classic Who and West Wing fan is one of his most endearing attributes), but John Simm going giddy with fannishness is new and terribly cute. Also he has good taste, clearly. (And, the moderator cracks me up. "No touching.")

Tangentially related, mixing various stars for charity performance can backfire and feel incredibly awkward, or it can be awesome, as in this 1979 concert for Kambuchea. In which Paul and the last Wings formation play with Pete Townshend from The Who and various other late 70s rock luminaries. Lucille is yet another demonstration that nobody sings Little Richard songs like Paul M. Pete Townshend seems to think so, too (*cough* expression at 1.41 *cough*):
