Look out he's behind you!
Oh, no he isn't... Is he?
Is this Oscar Windsor-Smith as he once was? Or is this his next regeneration? Be afraid… (Etc., etc)
Time. What is it? Where does it go? To be sure, it's not what we think it is.
Like countless others here in the UK, on Christmas Eve I watched the first half of the final episode of Doctor Who with David Tennant as The Doctor. That was fine. My problems began with the trailer for the second half, due to be broadcast on New Year's Day. It seems that the Time Lords are returning from the dead. In teaser shots we saw disturbing images – disturbing, that is, to me – relating as they do to a period that I refer to, in my quaint old-fashioned way, as my past. The above pic is the damning evidence.
IMPORTANT NOTES: All the items illustrated above are genuine and employed with the full knowledge and cooperation of the Gallifrey General Council. Be aware that Daleks can go down and up, as well as along. Oscar would like to thank the manufacturers of Botox in anticipation of his next regeneration. No Daleks were hurt in the making of this post.

Help! Windsor-Smith has joined the blogosphere. Run for the hills!
ReplyDeleteHurrah! Or... yikes!
ReplyDeleteHi, Jon and Cathy. And thanks to you both... I think. ;)
ReplyDeleteHappy 2010
Looking forward to more pics of the gorgeous pouting Windsor-Smith in this space :)
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the blogosphere, Oscar
Appearances can be misleading, sir. I think you may be misinterpreting something here, young Gordon, or perhaps confusing me with an illustrious namesake? - whose wit I can only aspire to but whose proclivities I do not share. Sorry if this comes as a disappointment ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the welcome, mate.
Oscar
I think a full explanation of that picture is required ...
ReplyDeleteCertainly, Kevin. How long have you got? It relates to a time far longer ago than I care to admit, when I was a member of a terrific organisation called Round Table, which raises finds for local charities. We had an event that was to be opened by the then Dr Who, Tom Baker (That gives the game away), and by devious means we talked the BBC into providing us with a number of genuine Dr Who props, including a Dalek, and Tardis. As the then chairman, I was stitched up to look a prime pillock in the Time Lord costume at a publicity stunt in the local town. It was worth it, though. Loads of people attended. Loads of cash was raised. Thanks for your interest. Cheers. Oscar.
ReplyDeleteAnd there was me, thinking you were an actor on the set. So your autograph isn't worth anything yet, then???
ReplyDeleteIndeed, my siggie is worth zilch even on a cheque (or check, depending upon where you are).
ReplyDeleteThank you though for that subtle, but empowering, word 'yet', Kevin. We writers need all the optimism we can muster.
