Books, films, the intersection between the two

People who read Ballet Shoes as children: when, if ever, did you start to see Dr. Smith/Dr. Jakes?

Over the weekend [livejournal.com profile] breadandroses and I watched the 2007 movie with Emma Watson as Pauline, which makes the pairing quite clear, in a campy-positive manner we quite enjoyed. The film takes some rather extreme liberties with the character of Mr. Simpson, and assassinates the character of Winifred Bagnall, but I really enjoyed getting glimpses of period musical and Shakespeare productions. As fans of Hustle, we also enjoyed seeing Marc Warren (even though he apparently can't shed his Danny Blue accent - unless grammar schools have Matrons?) and Adrian Lester (who does a reasonably good American accent here.)

I'm obsessively refreshing Vividcon playlists for links, so there will probably be songvid recs this week. For the moment, though, I invite everyone to revisit the delights of November by watching the following vid by SDWolfpup:

EEEEE! *happy bounce*

I am having an urge to sign up for Yuletide specifically to request or write Doctor/Doctor.
