I cannot live without brainwork. What else is there to live for? Stand at the window there. Was there ever such a dreary, dismal, unprofitable world? See how the yellow fog swirls down the street and drifts across the dun-coloured houses. What could be more hopelessly prosaic and material? What is the use of having powers, Doctor, when one has no field upon which to exert them?

This is going to be so amazing.

Re: The Hollow Crown: The Wars of the Roses (was "Richard III")
Which is the best part. But then you have something to look forward to when you come back.

Looks amazing, though the princes will be traumatic.

Re: The Hollow Crown: The Wars of the Roses (was "Richard III")
It looks like a good, exciting adaptation. I just read Richard III this past semester for my Shakespeare class, so I am looking forward to seeing this (though I was already imagining Benedict as Richard while I was reading it).
Clueing for looks.

Re: The Hollow Crown: The Wars of the Roses (was "Richard III")
I'm so, so, so looking forward to this. Richard III is my favourite Shakespeare play and BC looks amazing. That quietly evil smirk of his, half hidden behind the fur covering his shoulder. Sweet Lord, I die.

Oh, that's too bad. I'm away on my annual girl weekend. Which is fun but sadly I'm the only Cumber-person (yes, apparently non-Cumberbatched women walk this Earth as well) so I won't have a chance to watch it when it first airs. Luckily my lovely sis-in-law will record it for me so I can have a go at him two days later. (I wish).

Re: The Hollow Crown: The Wars of the Roses (was "Richard III")
I am going to record it as well. But I have to wait for two weeks then. Though I am going to spent my holidays on the beautiful island of Tenerife... curiosity will torture me.
