The only other movie I've seen Ledger in is Ten Things I Hate about You, in which I quite liked him (as a character, not as a physique). My heart, I admit, does belong to the scrawny. Oh, speaking of A Knight's Tale, the actress who plays the woman blacksmith also plays Henriette, the unattainable love interest in DT's Casanova.

I have no idea who Romana or K-9 are, so I probably can't fully appreciate their characterization yet--I've got a long way to go before I'm caught up on Whovian lore. So . . . tell me, how DO you get access to all these great British shows (like Casanova, the new Robin Hood, etc.)? I'm most curious. Yup–her Doctor definitely looks like David Tennant!

Alas! Ahahaha! I don't get any TV stations here, I just assumed BBC America grabbed Casanova... PBS makes sense too. I used to watch Doctor Who on PBS back in the day. I'll have to do some checking and see if Casanova was slimmed down or not. As for Time Love, we wrapped it up in <a href="http://community.livejournal.com/ark_in_space/5296.html" rel="nofollow">part two</a> and <a href="http://community.livejournal.com/ark_in_space/8243.html" rel="nofollow">part three</a>. You can always feel free to visit the comm, <a href="http://community.livejournal.com/ark_in_space/8243.html" rel="nofollow">here</a> as we're pretty decent at keeping all the spoilers hidden away and labeled. :) Isn't Krycek_Chick an awesome artist?

So I've seen nothing so far. Fortunately, Dormouse has all four hours of missed stuff (the Christmas special and two episodes), so we're going to have to schedule a viewing this week. We actually can't get BBC America here--Casanova was on PBS, which is why I'm guessing they edited out some of the "mature" content. I don't know that for a fact, though. It's about three hours total (two hour-and-a-half installments), which seems to be the length of the DVD as well. Wow! "Time Love" looks pretty impressive--when's part 2 going to be finished?

My sister and I both watched it and put the kibosh on having the parents see it... although, we were watching the original version. I'm sort of curious what they cut. Other BBC America versions have cut the *weirdest* things... Yes, Casanova is more RTD's zany style. And Murray Gold did the music for Casanova--as he also does the music for the latest installments of Doctor Who--including the re-imagined theme song. I actually made a point to watch the original BBC Queer as Folk because it's a creation of the very young RTD (and has Stuart buying Vince one of the real K-9s from Doctor Who as a birthday present ;) ). Eh, so if you missed the first week of Doctor Who, which did you see? Episodes two, three and four (understanding that The Christmas Invasion was a special and New Earth is episode one) were arguably my favorites. Or definitely the most re-watched. Nonetheless, seeing Casanova prior to most of season two of Doctor Who will be fun for you aka spot the British actors that you remember. :) Oh, Casanova!
