Janet 'Fourth Wall' Fielding & the ebullient Malcolm Hulke!

Hi folks,

The Co-Pilot & I failed to produce our long promised Season 3 summary tome last weekend. What we did manage to do was scour youtube for two & a half hours, get some take-away Indian, drink about 15 beers between us & watch episode 1 of 'Resurrection Of The Daleks' with the commentary track on. All of which was fabulous. We are both very partial to a Janet 'Fourth Wall' Fielding commentary. The smoky cackle...the caustic wit...the actor-speak! Marvellous. She is rapidly becoming my favourite companion based on commentaries alone. Now if only BBC Worldwide could have given her a tray of hors d'oeuvres & a bottle of bubbly & let her loose on 'Timelash!' The thought makes me prickle with excitement...yet ultimately sigh at what could have been.

The Co-Pilot slipped the word 'ebullient' into conversation at one point. A favourite word of mine that I don't hear employed all that often. I was surprised to find that Malcolm Hulke sprang to mind when he said it. Why Malc? I feel as if the person I have most heard referred to as ebullient over the years is Mr Hulke. Can anyone enlighten me as to why this should be? Is that the stock-standard phrase used in the Who-niverse to describe the man & his talents? Hmmm!?

Looks like next weekend for our season 3 thoughts...Until then...adieu..
