Talking Shakespeare
BBC Four have been showing a lot of Shakespeare stuff recently, to mark the 400th anniversary of... something or other. Anyway, I keep meaning to watch bits of it, but keep not actually doing so. Tonight had one of the most interesting schedules thus far — this was the only part I watched live (and it was good, even if I'd already seen a surprisingly large number of the featured interviews, a couple very recently), but I intend to catch up on more later. We'll see if I actually do. I do like Shakespeare sometimes, but sometimes it can feel hard going.

Fiction
Doctor Who: Nothing O'Clock by Neil Gaiman
Chapters 1–8 [the end]
The final tale in the original version of 11/12/13 Doctors, 11/12/13 Stories — i.e. the one starring the then-current Eleventh Doctor — written by arguably the biggest name involved in the project. And this story definitely shows why that's the case, because it's a cracking tale that would've made an excellent actual episode, too. Nothing like ending on a high... except, of course, there's now two more stories to go.

19–22 July 2021
I'm playing this digitally via PDFs, and so each day I finish by scrolling down to the next day in the calendar file, in the hope it will reopen where I left off (sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't — I haven't worked out how or why). Sometimes, if the next day has minimal or no action, that means I basically see all it is straight away... and that's how today I ended up playing four days when I only meant to play two. It may be messing somewhat with the precise schedule I drew up back in September but, as I said the other day, something's bound to knock me back eventually.

this week on 100Films.co.uk
Time for another weekly monthly check-in with 100Films.co.uk, where there were again no film reviews, but it was time to look back at October...
Of course, as well as the overview of what I did watch, there was the matter of what I didn't...
More next Sunday? You never know.
