A Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms TV Series SPOILER FREE Review

Game Of Thrones was a show that really captured the worlds imagination so much so that when the TV series ended we got a prequel how House Of The Dragon and while the third season of that show is due next year. This year we got a brand new prequel with that show having just aired it's final episode and well I want to talk about it as the show is one that is worth talking about even taking into account that the episode has shorter running times and so then join me as I give you my SPOILER FREE review of the show that might need to change it's title after last nights amazing episode with the show in question being called simply just "A Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms" enjoy.

The plot of this show is when he meets a young stable boy on his way to a jousting tournament in a local villain hedge knight Ser Duncan The Tall finds himself drawn into a world that only favors the rich and powerful. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show was in all honesty really good with the shows plot being delightfully simple enough for people to understand and follow along with whilst at the same time also being very much in the vain of both House Of The Dragon and Game Of Thrones with the only real difference being that this show does have a more lighthearted approach to it's plot that what either one of the above mentioned shows have which is something that does make alot of sense as this show is based off of short stories and that are more lighthearted in nature but in saying this tho the show does know when it to get more serious with it's storytelling as pretty much from episode four onwards there are jo jokes to be found in the show with the show instead turning very serious with it's plot which was something that does indeed work so well as the previous episodes have given us time to let us breathe in this world and to let the overarching plot of the shot simmer until finally being let out in the back three episodes with the plot of this show also being really rather entertaining and as well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this show is Peter Claffey as Duncan The Tall , Dexter Sol Ansell as Aegon Targaryen and Bertie Carvel as Baelor Targaryen. Also starring in this show is Daniel Ings as Lyonel Baratheon , Sam Spruell as Maekar Targaryen , Danny Webb as Arlan of Pennytree , Finn Bennett as Aerion Targaryen , Shaun Thomas as Raymun Fossoway , Youssef Kerkour as Steely Pate , Henry Ashton as Daeron Targaryen , Edward Ashley as Steffon Fossoway , Tanzyn Crawford as Tanselle , Tom Vaughan-Lawlor as Plummer and Daniel Monks as Manfred Dondarrion.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show was in all honesty really good. With this being something that was both kind of shocking to see and yet at the same time not all that shocking to see either it's not that shocking in the sense that this franchise has always had some really good acting in it and therefor of course this show will follow suite in this regard but it's also quite shocking as alot of this shows actors are either unknown actors or are at bet very little known actors either way it would have been foolish to expect great performances from the acting in this show and yet that's exactly what we got week after week with the best actor in his show being Dexter Sol Ansell as nobody expects a kid actor to be good and yet he's better then good in this show with the kid having a real talent for acting and if he does indeed chose to continue as an actor after this show wraps up in a few years time then he could really make it as an actor with Peter Claffey also being really good in this show as well as the pair of them just have this chemistry together that makes there friendship feel all the more believable with the pair of them turning in some really good performance in all six episodes of this show with the acting that's in this show really bein helped by the fact that the scripts for this show are just so good that all this shows shows actors have to do is just say the lines as they are written and a good performance will come out of them naturally which is something that really does help to raise the overall quality of the acting that's in this very show. 

This shows characters whilst they aren't better done then the characters in both Game Of Thrones and House Of The Dragon are till really well done in there own right. As they all do come across as being very well thought out characters with the best example being Duncan himself as ever tho we don't get to find out all that much about him until the fifth episode of the show we do get to see that he is a kind hearted character that just wants to earn some money to keep himself alive one night more with us the audience getting to see how kind that this character is when Aerion threatens a puppeteer that Duncan has befriended as without thinking about it he steps in and hits the prince just because of the fact that it was the right thing to do and with Egg we get a character who has a bit of a mouth on him something which we see does get him into trouble with Duncan alot of the time early on in the season but it is also something that does also help them out alot of the time as well and while yes the characters in Game Of Thrones for example are done alot mor better this is due to the fact that that show is based on a series of novels which does therefor mean that the characters have more of a chance to get across just what it is that there about whereas in this show as this show is based off of a series of short stories this means that the characters don't have that much of chance to show us much of there personalities but what little glimpses that we get to see of these characters is more then enough to support this first season of the show however if there are to be more returning character next series then the characters will need to be done alot more better and not fade into the background as much as they do in this first series.

One of the things that does set this show apart from both House Of The Dragon and Game Of Thrones is the fact that we get to see a genuine friendship develop between Egg and Duncan. As in the first episode they don't know each other with Duncan even threatening Egg at one point in that episode and yet due to the fact that hey both do kind of need each other with Egg needing Duncan to basically serve as a protector from his family and Duncan needing Egg as it gives him someone to talk to who will actually talk back to him and because of that the two of them are almost compelled to be with each other and to help each other out with this being something that does create a genuine bond between the pair of them with this being done so well that it is hard to picture this show without the pair of them in it and knowing where Egg ends up in Game Of Thrones it is interesting to think of where there character progress over the course of the show as it's clear in Game Of Thrones that there time together meant alot to Egg and the thought of seeing there bond go from people who are just friends to people who are essentially family is something that will make future seasons of the show all the more interesting as the show lives or dies based on the characters chemistry with each other and therefor if we the audience aren't able to buy into these characters as friends then the show doesn't work and yet because of the fact that the makers of this show really took there time in fully developing there bond so much so that by the end of the final episode your sad at the thought of no longer seeing them on a weekly basis and due to that there bond is one of the best things in the whole entire as it's a bond that feels real as everyone has that one person in there life that they couldn't do without much like how these two characters can't live without each other.

In somethin that could be seen as being a shocking move the whole of this first season of the show takes place in this one village called Ashford. Whilst this might seem claustrophobic it is something that does oddly work for the show as we do get to see the whole of the town which is something that makes the town feel more lived in and rea and while yes it would have been nice if we got to see more locations in the show as that is something that would have made the show feel alot more bigger then what it already is this is something that would also be a huge disservice to the show as the whole point of this show is to show things from the point of view of the poor people which is something that would only work if the show was limited to one location for the whole season and while yes we do get more locations in flashback form in the present day scenes it's just this one main location and the fact that the makers of this show went the extra mile and made sure that every tent that we see in the season had something going on inside of it is something that makes the season feel all the more special as that's something that they didn't have to do as they could have have just built part of the set and called it day but no they went the extra mile and built the entire village with there being next to no CGI used in the show as a whole and yet it still would have been nice if we got some geography for this village as it would have helped us to understand not only where certain things are in relation to each other but it also would have helped us to understand where certain characters are to each other as well as for all we could know Duncan might be sleeping close to the castle as there's nothing to tell us where he is in relation to the rest of the village.  

One of the things that this series might get alot of hate for is for episode five is done as for the past episode we were leading to this fight between Duncan and Aerion. Yet in episode five which is when the battle takes place not only do we not see it but alot of the episode is filled up with Duncan's backstory something which would have been better down in other episodes of the show as we don't want to see his backstory this late into the season as all that does is get in the way of something that we actually want to see with there fight even being a big plot point for the show as well as not only do we get the sudden death of a character at the end of that episode but we also get to see just how good of a fighter that Duncan is something which we hadn't get to see in the episodes before then and yet as the makers of the show struggled to fit in his backstory into the show something which could have been done if the first episode was one hour long with the rest of the episodes being as long as they are as then we the audience would get a strong sense of not only were Duncan started out but also get to see how far he's either fallen or risen on top of that and yet the makers of the show seemed to think that it was better to pretty much cut out the big action scene that the past few episodes had been building towards all for no good reason and heck we don't even get to see the tournament either as that happens off screen and the whole first season of this show was built around it but to be fair tho this is something that might have been done due to the fact that it might have been done that way in the books but what works for the books might not work well for the show and whilst this season did stick close to that first book it would have helped the season out if they did give us the things that we actually wanted to see instead of just hinting at them.

Now then this show has / had an exactly grand total running time of no longer then forty one minuets and forty one second with this episode having an exact grand total running tome of exactly thirty minuets and thirty nine seconds. With this being round about the running time for the rest of the show with the show getting alot of criticism from fans from having these shorter running times yet as mentioned before this show is based off of a series of short stories and therefor they can't do a full one hour episode every week as that would mean having at the very least thirty minuets an episode that is just pure filler at best with this episode having more then enough plot there to really cover that amount of running time in the first place an yet even so the episode really doesn't use it's running time all that wisely in one respect as the episode doesn't take the time to fully develop it's plot which is something that does kind of make sense as this episode is all about wrapping things up from the previous episode but even so the episode still should have taken it's time to actually develop it's plot as it did feel like that the characters were just doing things for the sake of doing them and not because of the fact that the plot of the episode demanded that they do it however to be fair tho the episode did take the time to fully develop it's characters however this is mainly due to the fact that the characters got all of there character development in other episodes and therefor were already something into this episode as fully formed characters in the first place but I really will admit that this episode really does have some really good pacing to it tho.

So now then as this is a comedy that really does mean that I have to actually talk about the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in tis very show well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show was in all honesty really good. With this show having alot of really good jokes in it and while the jokes are all just Egg and Duncan talking to each other we do get some comedy gold from them be it either Duncan threatening to set the dogs on Egg only for Egg to point out that they don't have dogs in the first place or the opening joke of the first episode where the classic Game Of Thrones plays just before something happens and yet the shows best joke in the whole show is one that's in the final episode and it's one that's not going to be getting spoiled in this review as the joke is one that's laugh out loud funny with the show having alot of really good jokes in it all of which because of the fact that the makes of this show went the extra mile in making it's two mean lead character be these really likable people that you want to get to know more about and that you want to spend more time with which is something that does make there bater together be all the more funnier as they are jokes that you could picture characters like these two making which is something that really does make all of the joke in this show be all the more funnier then what they really should have been as by all rights the jokes in this show should have been really bad yet for one reason or another they all turned to be some really funny joke in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall if this season of the show was anything to go by then we are in for a treat next year when the show will be returning for a new season let us just hope however that the show does fix alot of the mistakes and things that people hated about the show in this season as they would have had the time to listen to what the fans want and taken the time to address them in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very show in this very review and as such that really does mean that this very show really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly an 8.5 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well the boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from A Wiki Of Ice And Fire , Imp Awards . Com and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from this very show that I used in this very review being the really great Google Images really simply just due to the fact that really alot of if not really all of the images that are all really from this very show with alot of them really being really better quality then what you'd really think of and all of the images are really of course up and really on Google Images really are also really all fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.

Scrubs: My Musical Review

We are now officially about three maybe four days away from Scrubs coming back on the air with new episodes. Which does mean that I wanted to produce a tie in review however with there being so many great episodes of the show that all blended together the shows signature blend of comedy and drama really well I think that i've found the perfect episode as it's one that has some really good jokes , some really good drama and some really good songs in it that are still bein viewed by the millions on Youtube to this day and so then join me as I review the episode that sees the characters make a big song and dance over a patient with the episode in question being called simply just "My Musical" enjoy.

The plot of this episode when a patient is brought to the hospital hearing everyone in her world singing the staff have to find out what's wrong with her. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good as while yes granted this episodes plot isn't the strongest Scrubs plot out there as there are better episodes that have stronger plots to them this is due to the fact the episode had to fit in ten songs in the space of a regular episode of the show and therefor of course the plot is going to come across as being all the more weaker as a result of it and in all fairness this episodes plot really didn't need to be that strong in the first place as it only needed to explain why the characters are now all of sudden singing and dancing and it did that in a way that felt true to the spirit of the show whilst also still very much being a Scrubs episode however it still would have been nice if the episode did take a break from a squeezing in a a song every few minuets and gave some time to it's plot as the plot of this episode is left feeling as more of an afterthought to the episodes songs when they two of them should have been working in tandem together with one supporting the other and yet this is something that doesn't happen due to the fact that the plot of this episode doesn't really get alot of focus with the plot of this episode being really rather entertaining and as well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 

Starring in this episode is Zach Braff as Dr. John 'J.D.' Dorian , Sarah Chalke as Dr. Elliot Reid and Donald Faison as Dr. Christopher Turk. Also starring in this episode is Neil Flynn as The Janitor , Ken Jenkins as Dr. Bob Kelso , John C. McGinley as Dr. Perry Cox , Judy Reyes as Nurse Carla Espinosa , Stephanie D'Abruzzo as Patti Miller , Johnny Kastl as Doug , Sam Lloyd as Ted Buckland , Robert Maschio as Dr. Todd Quinlan , Philip McNiven as Roy , George Miserlis as Crispin , Paul F. Perry as Randall , Aloma Wright as Nurse Roberts and Mike Schwartz as Lloyd.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. With this being something that's not really all that surprising as the shows was six seasons into it's mammoth nine season run at this point in time and therefor of course the acting in the episode is going to be top notch as all of the episodes barring the guest actors of course would have had alot of time to really get to know there characters and therefor they would know what kind of performance would best suit there respective character in any given scene with this being something that does come through in this episode as all of the actors truly do act there socks off in this episode with the best actor in this episode being Stephanie D'Abruzzo as Patti Miller as she has to step into this show and right away not only get the tone of the show but also get her character and get where her character is coming from and still sing some really good songs all the while she's got be funny as this is a comedy show afterall and still turn in a good performance and a lesser actor would have buckled under all of that but instead of buckling she thrived with her being the emotional core of the episode and while her performance won't cause people to break into tears like what Brendan Fraser did in his third episode on the show but she does do a really good job of making this character and this situation seem both believable and yet at the same time utterly heartbreaking as well with the acting that's in this very episode really being helped by the fact that the script for this episode is just so good that all this episodes actors have to do is just say the lines as they are written and a good performance will come out of them naturally which is something that really does help to raise the overall quality of the acting that's inn this very episode.

Character wise this episode does treat it's characters really well as all of the series regular characters do feel very in character. With this being something that does make alot of sense as the makers of this episode would of course know these characters inside out and therefor it would be easy for them to have these character be written in character but at the same time tho there seemed to be a focus on getting alot of the characters that we all know and love in the show in this one episode regardless on if it makes sense for them to be there or not as none of the doctors would be hanging around in the hospitals parking area just to great this one patient and neither would they be hanging around the hospitals main entrance due to the fact that they would be bust saving lives and performing operations on people and yet both of these things are things that happen in the episode and it just doesn't make sense both from a storytelling perspective and a character perspective but in saying this tho this episode is meant to be alot more goofy and fun and therefor the episode can get away with having the characters doing these things that they wouldn't normally do as it doesn't play that big of a role in the series overall arc with characters like J.D. and Turk for example not only getting more musical numbers but also more screen time when compared to characters like The Janitor for example who only gets to appear in other people's songs and has exactly zero lines of spoken dialog all throughout the episode this is despite the fact that he is consistently the funniest character in the show and yet in this episode they just have him appear in songs which yes does lead to some funny lines from him but they also feel like a huge disservice to his character.

Speaking of the episodes songs they were all written by Jeff Marx , Robert Lopez , this episodes writer Debra Fordham , Paul Perry and Doug Besterman. With all of the episodes songs being some really good corny songs that you could imagine being songs used in a broadway show with one of the things that helped to make this episodes songs be all the good being the fact that they got the guys who wrote the songs for Avenue Q to help write the songs for this episode which was something that they didn't have to do as the makers of this episode could have just written the songs themselves and called it a day but it's the fact that they went that extra mile which does show you that they put alot more thought and effort into the episodes songs then what was really necessary to do so and yet by doing so they give all of the episodes almost a broadway type of feel to them with songs like "Guy Love" and "When The Truth Comes Out" even being inspired by musicals as whole with "Guy Love" being inspired by huge bombastic love songs like the songs in "Jekyll & Hyde" and "When The Truth Comes Out" being inspired by both "Do You Hear the People Sing?" and "One Day More" both from Les Misérables with it even being hard to say just what the best song in the episode is as the song does have something for everyone as if you want a more dramatic song then there's "Friends Forever/What's Going to Happen" or if you want something that's more tongue in cheek and really lighthearted then there's "The Rant Song" with all of this films songs being oddly really well sung which for alot of this episodes was something that was really unexpected as while alot of us knew that Sam Lloyd was a good singer nobody knew that Zach Braff was a good singer and he kills it in this episode as he is a shockingly good singer.

What was something that was quite shocking to notice was the fact that the episode does commit to the idea of it only being when the characters are around this one patient that they start singing. As whenever this patient is nowhere to be seen there just talking as they normally would do and yet whenever she enters the frame even if it's just for a few seconds they start to sing which is a really subtle detail to include and yet it's one that is quite easy to miss alot of the time due to us the audience being so wrapped in the rest of the episode and yet it's something that does make this episode stand out from other musical themed episodes as while other shows that did musical episodes like Buffy and Xena for example can get away with having there characters singing and dancing for no reason as they could always blame it on the villain of the weak and it would work just as fine Scrubs isn't that kind of a show and therefor they have to do something that no other show would do when there tackling a musical episode that being to work out why the characters are singing in scenes when they would normally be talking and they do that in a great way just by having Patti Miller appear in the scene sometimes as a key person in the scene like she is in "The Rant Song" or sometimes it just as someone that's in the background like in "Gonna Miss You, Carla" yet that is such a commitment to the episode as it shows that the makers of this episode aren't treating there audience like there dumb and are instead treating them like there smart as the audience would pick up on the fact that the character that's meant to be seeing and hearing the characters singing isn't there and while yes there is one scene that does kind of go against that as they do a reprise on "Gonna Miss You, Carla" during the "When The Truth Comes Out" song but even then you could argue that the character was just outside the store room anyway and it would therefor still count.

If there's one thing that this show is known for it's for having these big dramatic moments come out of nowhere. With it being revealed in the ending of act 1 that the reason that Pattie can hear singing in her head is due to the fact that she has a gigantic aneurysm in her temporal lobe something which could cause her to die at any minuet with all of this being revealed during a song that could be considered a cheery song and yet it's that kind of emotional gut punch that the show is famous for with it being something that does work really well with the both the context of the episode and the song that it appears in as "When The Truth Comes Out" is all about certain characters trying to find a way to tell the truth about certain things to other characters with it being in that song where we find out just how serious that Patti's illness is and while yes granted the episode could have been better by having that emotional gut punch be done better as the episode is alot of focused on the characters personal lives then in giving us a truly emotional moment as when this show gives us a truly emotional moment it is something that does work really well as that's when the show truly puts in alot of thought and effort into it's emotional moments and yet here in this episode it felt like that the emotional moment in this episode wasn't given the grandeur that it needed as this is something that should have had the audience in floods of tears and yet it's not something works all that well with that also being because of the fact that the episode doesn't spend much of it's second act focusing on thar plot with it spending more time of the doctors own personal lives.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly twenty three minuets and forty two seconds. Which is pretty much the exact grand total running time for the rest of this show and it's episodes as well with this episode having more then enough plot there to really cover that amount of running time in the first place and yet this episode doesn't use it's running time all that wisely as the episode doesn't take the time to fully develop it's plot which is kind of understandable given the number of songs that the episode does gave to fit in and still tell a good plot and while it could be argued that the episodes songs are used to develop the episodes which is something that would be a fair point to make as alot of the episodes plot is advanced through the songs there's nothing in the episodes songs that develop the episodes plot with the same thing also being true for the episodes as while the show is usually really good with giving it's characters character development alot of the time it happens over the course of several episodes which is why the characters aren't given much in the way of character development which is fine for the shows main characters due to the fact that they've had several episodes and seasons to get there character development but for the episodes guest characters it's not a good thing as they really should have gotten some character development heck we don't even find out Patti's first name in the episode with that being mentioned in the episodes credits an yet as the episode is alot more focused on giving us a song every few minuets which is fine for a feature film but not not a show that's just over twenty three minuets they leave us with guest characters that aren't that memorable or well developed for that matter but I really will admit that this episode really does have some really good pacing to to tho.

So now then as this is a comedy that really does mean that I have to actually talk about the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. With alot of the episodes comedy coming across in there songs as opposed to the shows more usual way of doing it's comedy as there are no dream sequences in this episode and The Janitor doesn't tell a wacky and funny story both of which are stables of the show and are usually great sources of comedy something would have been perfectly in keeping with the rest of this episodes more wacky and out there tone but it is also something that would have clashed with the episodes songs as well therefor having the more comedic moments happen in the episodes songs is something that does make alot of sense with the best joke in the whole entire episode being the song "Guy Love" as it's two guy best friends singing a love ballad about how much that they love each other which these days wouldn't be seen as being funny but back in 2006 it is something that would be considered a really funny joke and heck it's even a running joke in the show that the two of them act more like a married couple an actually married couples do with the rest of the episodes songs being filled to the brim with other funny moments with the best example of this being "The Rant Song" where Dr. Co goes on one his usual funny rants only now it's in a song done in the style of Gilbert and Sullivan which is a really good idea and it's one that works for this episode with this episode having alot of really funny jokes in it in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 

Overall this episode is just so good and while it's not as good as other more well known episodes of this show are this episode still does a really good job of balancing the episodes humor with these more dramatic moments and here hoping that the new season of the show manages to do the exact same thing as that is how you make Scrubs be as good as it could possibly be in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very episode in this very review and as such that really does mean that this very episode really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly an 8 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and a well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from Amazon . Co . Uk , IMP Awards . Com and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from this very episode that I used in this very review being the really great Google Images really simply just due to the fact that really alot of if not really all of the images that are all really from this very episode with alot of them really being really better quality then what you'd really think of and all of the images are really of course up and really on Google Images really are also really all fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.

Paddington 1976 TV Series "A Shopping Expedition" Review

Paddington really is a character that needs no introduction as thanks to the live action films alot of people seem to know who he is. Yet those same people nine times out of ten don't realise that there was ana animated show with the character and yet it's that show that I find to be really enjoyable so much so that I got the DVD of it for Christmas and will continue to do reviews based off of the series until it's all done and so then join me as I review the episode that sees Paddington go shopping with the episode in question being called simply just "A Shopping Expedition" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is Paddington , Mrs. Brown and Judy Brown go shopping to help find Paddington some pajamas. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good with the episodes plot being as delightfully simple as you'd expect from his show and yet this is something that doesn't hold the episode back as the episodes plot does shine in how simple it is die to the fact that it allows the characters to be charming and for the world of this show to be more charming because of it with this something that might not be possible if the episode had a more complicated plot and heck even all of the live actions films knew to keep the plot simple as that is something that would allow there characters to be simple and while yes the plots of the films do have to be epic in a sense due to the fact that they are films and we expect that from them we don't have that which is something that does mean a plot that really should be simple remains exactly that simple as a plot about someone going shopping doesn't scream high end gripping television and yet the episodes plot works due to how simple it is as alot of the British public even today can relate to going to shopping to buy any clothes not just pajamas with the plot of this episode also being really rather entertaining and as well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this episode is of course Sir Michael Hordern with him even doing something that was totally unexpected. Which is instead of using his usual voice for all of the characters something which he would normally do for this show he does give some of the characters there own unique voices as he gives the salesclerk a more posh sounding voice whilst the store manager is given a more upper class voice but one that's not quite as posh as the sales clerks voice which is something that does make sense as this show is meant to be London and therefor the owners of these types of stores would have more posh sounding voices as would alot of the people that work for them and yet it's also something that makes you wonder why he didn't give the rest of the shows characters there own unique voices as he does nothing to alter his voice when he's playing the Brown family which is fine as he's essentially reading us a story and serving as a storyteller for the show think of the early Thomas The Tank Engine & Friends and what the storytellers on that show usually did as that's what Sir Michael Hordern is doing here in this show and it is something he does really well as he has a splendid voice for animation as his voice is one that is soothing and is relaxing for kids to hear but at the same time tho it would always help if he did give more of the characters in this episode there own unique voice as that would make it alot more easier for us the audience to work out whom is talking and when but to be fair given that he's a narrator for the show it's not really something that he has to do as the episode does work just fine the way that it is but it is something that would make the episode better as it would stop alot of the characters from sounding the same.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. With it being made clear as day that the episodes only actor is having alot of fun doing the show as you wouldn't really go to the lengths of giving the characters even if there just small one off characters there own unique sounding voice if you weren't having fun doing the show in the first place with that fun really shining through in Sir Michael Horderns performance with him quite literally being the voice for this show and the fact that the makers of this show managed to get an established actor to do this kids is something that does speak wonders to the character of Paddington Bear as a whole with the episodes best actor also of course being it's only actor as it's clear as day that Sir Michael Hordern really was the best choice to do the voice over work for this show as he speaks his lines with such passion and grace that it almost comes across as him being a fan of the character with him therefor wanting to turn in a good performance because of it and while yes it does help that he was a good actor in his own right the fact that he still managed to turn in a good performance not only in this show but in this episode is still something that is worth talking about with the acting that's in this very episode really being helped by the fact that the script for this episode is just so good that all this episodes actor has to do is just say the lines as they are written and a good performance will come out of him naturally something which does help to raise the overall quality of the acting that's in this very episode.

Doing the animation for this episode really is the legends and the greats that are currently over at FilmFair. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good with the episodes animation being of a really high quality in this episode with all of the 2D characters getting some really nice and fluid movements to them which was something that was kind of a surprise as it make you wonder how they animated those characters in the first place due to the fact that the world that the show takes place in is a 3D world and yet you can tell that the animator Barry Leith had alot of fun in animating Paddington and alot of the other characters in the episode all of which are things that do come through in the final episode as while there aren't any impressive shots in this episode that make you wonder how it is that they managed to pull them off the episode purely from an animation point of view still looks really good and while yes granted the episodes animation does look a little bit more dated when compared to the CGI cartoons that kids get together it's the fact that it looks dated that adds a certain charm to the episode as you can see all of the blood , sweat and tears the animators poored into each and every frame of animation in this episode with that being something that you just don't get in more modern cartoons as all of them are now done entirely in CGI and because of that they lack personality and they lack charm so say what you will about this episode and it's animation but the one thing that you can't say is that it lacks charm and personality.

Speaking of charm that's the one thing that this episode is in spades as it's a very charming episode of the show. With this stemming from the fact that the episode does technically finish of a storyline that was started in episode two of this show with Paddington finally getting to London and getting his pajamas and yet what also helps to make the episode be all the more charming is that not only do we get to see Paddington messing things up in his lovable way but we also get to see how the outside world treats him as well something which was hinted at in the previous episode as well as we get to see the sales clerk get flustered when he sees that his customer is a bear who walks and talks and with the manager who gets confused when Paddington falls asleep in shop window bottom line there is plenty of charm to be found in this episode and while yes granted the episode isn't as charming as the first or even second episode for that matter this episode still does have moments in it that remind you of just how good that this show is and could be as we get to see Paddington , Mrs. Brown and Judy Brown all get to be there typical selves which is something that is more then enough for this episode to be a charm filled episode as the characters themselves are very charming characters that you want to see more of and while granted the episode doesn't go into there characters given that this episode is also technically finishing of a plot line it really doesn't have to as both the first and second episodes of this show did all that in the first place with this episode being alot more focused on just giving us these charming characters and letting them do what they do best which in this case results in what could have been seen as being fun episode now being one that's both fun and charming due to the fact that these lovable characters are just being there lovable charming selves.

If there's a few things that this episode gets wrong its the fact that the episode doesn't really take the time to show us how Paddington got himself confused and ended up in the shops store window in the first place. Which ranted is a very minor thing to bring up but it is something that serves as a plot point for the episode as it's due to the that that people start buying the pajamas from this one store in the first place and yet it's something that should have been shown to us the audience like maybe Paddington got himself a bit confused because of the fact that he couldn't really see where he was going and therefor chose the corridor that led to the store window in the first place as that then would have been something and it's somethin that would have made it more understandable in the first place with the other thing that the episode doesn't really get right is the fact that it doesn't show us much of the Browns in this episode which fair enough this is a show called Paddington and therefor he should of course be the main focus of all of these episodes but it still would have been nice to see both Mrs. Brown and Judy appear in more then just two scenes in the episode as that then would help to fully establish them as characters something which the episode could have done and while yes granted it might well have been this have in the book version as well which is fair enough is the show is meant to be adapting the books pretty much word for word but what works well in the books might not always work well in the show with this episode being a prime example of that as while yes this is a really good and funny episode in it's own it's those little things that make the episode feel like it could have been much more better then what it already was in the first place.

This is an episode that is the very definition of a nothing episode and yet this is not a bad thig at all as this episode is only one part of a larger story that being seeing Paddington adapt to life in his new home of London. With this episode and technically the next episode since they are both adaptions of stories from the first Paddington book called "A Bear Called Paddington" this episode is the one that does end the story as the next episode focuses on something else entirely with this episode not having that much going on plot wise as alot of it just revolves around Paddington getting some pajamas and that's it which for a kids show where the average episode of each episode was around five minuets is something that was to be expected but at the same time tho you do still expect there to be more things going on in the episode to help it earn that running time and while yes adapting the stories in order is something that does help with this as while the Browns are learning to trust Paddington so are we the audience it's not really something that goes the other way as we don't get to see Paddington learning to trust the Browns and while the episode doesn't need that as that's something that it could be argued was done in the previous two episodes given that none of this shows episodes touch upon that it still would have been nice to see them start that bond off in someway shape or form and this is the where the first movie does actually fit in really well as they do take the time to show us Paddington learning to trust in this case Mr. Brown and it's something that could have been in these first few episodes as well and while this episode does still work despite the fact that it's a nothing episode one can't help but wonder what this episode would have been like if we did get to see Mrs. Brown and Judy more in the episode and if they did get to play a more active role in the episodes plot.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly five minuets and one second. Which to be fair to this episode is pretty much the bogstandard running time for this shows regular episodes with the episode having more then plot there to cover that amount of running time in the first place as none of this shows episode really need that long of a running time in order to tell there stories as they are only adapting certain parts of the books and therefor they could tell those stories in a shorter running time and the episode would still feel like it had a very satisfactory ending to it and yet this episode really doesn't use it's running time all that wisely as the episode doesn't take the time to fully develop it's plot and while this is something that could be seen as being a bad thing it is something that does work well enough in the episodes favor as none of this shows episodes really need to fully develop each of there plots as there only adapting certain parts of the books and that's really it and to be fair those don't require plots that are well developed however the episode doesn't take the time to fully develop it's characters either which is something that the episode could have done but at the same time it also didn't need to do as it cold be argued that the other episodes did that which is something that would be fair enough but at the same time tho it would have been nice to find out something about Paddington something which would have made as this was a story from the characters debut book but at the same time it's not something that was needed in this episode tho but I really will admit that this episode really does have some really good pacing to it tho. 

So now then as this is a comedy that really does mean that I have to actually talk about the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. With this episode having some really funny jokes in it all of which are jokes that work really well as they feel like the kind of jokes that these characters would make which is something that does make this episodes feel very character driven with there not really being a bad joke in the episode as there all jokes that work and land really well in the episode all of which are thigs that do make this episode be all the more better and funnier then what it really had any right to be with the best joke in the hole entire episode being the entire act of the episode as we get to see Paddington get himself confused trying to find the stores dressing rooms only for him to fall asleep in the shops store window which is a really funny idea as it is something that Paddington would do given the fact that he hasn't seen one before now with the episode being filled to the brim with good jokes like Paddington giving the store clerk a hard stare when he starts to have an argument with Mrs. Brown or when he finds out that he slept in the store window he just says that he's been recognized which is a really cute joke and inface that's the best word to describe this episodes jokes as they are cute but they are cute in all of the best ways possible with the makers of this episode really making sure that all of the episodes jokes not only land but land hard in the process in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall this episode is a really good episode of the show as while not alot happens in this episode we still get to see the characters be there usual charming selfs as well as jokes that will make viewers both young and old laugh out loud as that's just how good that this episode and it's jokes really are in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very episode in this very review and as such that really does mean that this very episode really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly an 8 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from Amazon . Co . Uk and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from this very episode that I used in this very review being the really great Google Images really simply just due to the fact that really alot of if not really all of the images that are all really from this very episode with alot of them really being really better quality then what you'd really think of and all of the images are really of course up and really on Google Images really are also really all fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.

Doctor Who: The Interstellar Song Contest Review

It's safe to say that Doctor Who has had quite alot of campy episodes in the past and weather or not those episodes should have been camp in the first place is most certainly up to you the viewer to decide. However the episode that i'm going to be talking to you all about today is perhaps the only episode in the shows very long history where it would have felt wrong if it wasn't camp and so then join me as I review the episode that sees two classic characters return with the episode in question being called simply just "The Interstellar Song Contest" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is when The Doctor and Belinda stop of on a space station that is hosting it's annual song contest that's broadcast across the galaxy the dup find themselves in trouble when the broadcast is hijacked and they must find away to defeat the villains before they kill three trillion people. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad as while the plot of the episode is arguably more lighthearted alot of the time then the rest of this seasons plots are given the fact that the characters are quite clearly appearing in a spoof of the Eurovision Song Contest an event that is known to be camp and quite lighthearted it does make sense that this episode would follow suit but at the same time tho this plot is still one that does still work with the context of it being a Doctor Who episode as we still get alot of the things that we've come to expect from this season of the show and yet the plot of this episode is one that does also feel a bit on the thin side of things as well as the episode doesn't really put alot of focus onto it's plot rather it instead puts more focus onto the episodes musical numbers with this having the adverse effect of making this episodes plot feel more like an afterthought this being despite the fact that the premise alone which was described as being "Eurovision meets Die Hard" being something that does sound like a really fun plot it just needed a better writer to help to bring it to life is all with the plot of this episode also being really rather entertaining and as well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this episode is Ncuti Gatwa as The Doctor , Varada Sethu as Belinda Chandra and Julie Dray as Sabine. Also starring in this episode is Rylan Clark as Himself , Imogen Kingsley Smith as A Runner , Kiruna Stamell as Nina Maxwell , Iona Anderson as Wynn Aura-Kin , Anita Dobson as Mrs Flood , Charlie Condou as Gary Gabbastone , Kadiff Kirwan as Mike Gabbastone , Freddie Fox as Kid , Miriam-Teak Lee as Cora Saint Bavier , Akemnji Ndifornyen as Len Kazah , Christina Rotondo as Liz Lizardine , Graham Norton as Himself , Abdul Sessay as Jeddy Kine , Archie Panjabi as The Rani and Carole Ann Ford as Susan Foreman.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. With both Ncuti and Varada being really good in this episode with this being something that was kind of expected as all throughout this season of the show those two are always turning in some really good performances with this being something that even those that don't like this era of the show all that much have to admit is true as the pair of them are a pair of really good actors in their own right with it being helped by the fact that alot of this episodes guest actors like for example Miriam-Teak Lee , Kadiff Kirwan and Charlie Condou do really good jobs as well with all three of them feeling that fit in in the world of Doctor Who with even the returning Carole Ann Ford just slipping right back into character with it feeling like that she never really stopped playing Susan as while she doesn't get alot of screen time in this episode she is still really good with it being made clear as day that she is having alot of fun in the episode with the best actor in the episode being Ncuti Gatwa as we do get to see another side to his version of The Doctor where we do get to see him pushed to the point where he believes that killing someone in cold blood is the best thing with Ncuti putting all that across beautifully in the episode with the acting that's in this episode not really being helped by the fact that the script for this episode is just so bad as it gives none of this episodes actors anything to work with interms of what it is that there actual characters personalities are even meant to be in the first lace which is something that really does harm the overall quality of the acting that's in this very episode.

Doing the CGI for this episode is the legends and the greats that are currently over at Pixomondo and Real SFX. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good with the makers of this episode making some really good use of CGI in this episode as while this episode was always going to be an effects heavy episode just due to the amount of crowd shots and shots of the space station alone there is a shockingly high amount of practical effects to be in the episode as well with them all blending in really well with the episodes CGI effects and while it could be argued that this episode does go overboard with the amount of CGI that they use so much so that it makes this episode feel alot more like a cartoon then it does a live action show there was really never going to be anyway that you could do this episode without using alot of CGI in it just due to the fact that the episode does things with it's characters that you couldn't possibly do for real with the episode having some really cool looking CGI effects in the episode like the shot of all of the people being sucked out on the space station is a really cool looking effect with the same thing even being true for the shot where the ice on The Doctors body breaks away when he's stuck in space and while yes it would have been nice if this episode was done fully practically as then the effects would age at a much more slower rate the makers of this episode did use that Disney money really well as we got some really good looking effects in this episode.

This episode is known for having two major characters returning that being of course The Rani and Susan Foreman. With both characters having last been seen in an episode of Doctor Who being the dreadful charity special Dimensions In Time with Susan's last appearance in the regular show being all the way back in Peter Davidson's era of the show in The Five Doctors so to say that having her appear again in this episode even tho it' just for a few minuets is something that is a big deal because as of this writing Carol Ann Ford is the longest surviving Doctor Who actor having appeared in the very first episode of the show but while it was really nice to see them again one has to wonder why they were included in the episode in the first place as the whole point of this new era of the show was to get a much more younger audience to Doctor Who and there not going to know who Susan is and nor are they going to know who The Rani is either as those characters haven't been seen since the nineties with this being case of the makers of the show including nods to classic Who for the older fan but not really giving the newer fan a reason to care abut these characters returning and while it could be argued that the next two episodes do give them a reason to care for The Rani and why she is returning but for Susan we get nothing as The Doctor doesn't even mention seeing her to Belinda at the end of the episode where it would have made perfect sense and it would have given the newer audience some background information on the character of Susan as well now there is s good chance that the new audience might still have understood who Susan is and why they should care for her in the originally planned ending for this season which we do know thanks to the scripts for this season being released that there was a different ending which Carol Ann Ford herself even admitted that she was going to be a part of the ending but as things stand the new audience isn't given a reason to care for her character which is a shame as seeing her back as Susan Foreman really is a big deal.

Whilst alot of the episodes of this show are indeed camp this is the only episode that should be camp due to the fact that it's spoofing a camp singing contest. With the fact that the episode is camp being something that does work in the episodes as it allows the episode to take it self seriously enough to the point where as the audience buy into the plot and into the threat that the characters are in but also it doesn't take it self that seriously that the episode can't stop and make a joke or two every once in a while with these more campier moments being where the episode does being to shine as it's there that the episode does feel like that's being a proper spoof of the Eurovision Song Contest and is going all in on that idea which is something that it really had to do i order for the idea to work as best that it could do as the episode would have felt off if it was still spoofing Eurovision but was instead playing everything super straight which yes would have been good for the drama aspect of the show as this show is meant to be an action drama show afterall but that doesn't mean that you can't have fun with it's concepts and that is something that the episode does really well even down to the fact that it is has a song from a band that was in Eurovision itself play over a montage which is a pretty funny in the first place with it being something that does embrace just how mad that Eurovision can be alot of the time and it's scenes like that and when The Doctor uses a confetti canon to push himself to airlock and get back inside the space station that does show you that the makers of this episode new full well that they could have more fun in this episode as they take full advantage of it's premise and go all in with the kinds of jokes that they could do in this episode. 

There is one point where alot of people do agree that this episode doesn't work quite that well that being the episodes main villain Kid. As he's a character that wants revenge for the death of his people and that's it as the episode doesn't really go into that much detail about what it is that makes him tic due to the fact that the episode doesn't focus on him all that much with the episode being more focused on showing us The Doctor and Belinda when it could have spent alot more time in giving us more of a well rounded villain as he does come across as being more of an after thought then anything else as while the idea of having someone be out for revenge for the death of there people is a really good idea the episode does kind of squash that idea by showing us a character that is also out to do the exact same thing but in a more peaceful way in the character of Cora Saint Bavier who just wants to sing a song that her people sang and to win the show as a way to show the company that run the contest that there race will never be forgotten and yet it's her that gets alot more attention from the episode when it would have made more sense for Kid to get alot more of the attention due to the fact that he's the episodes main villain with things being made even more worse when you remember that this is the episode where The Rani reappears with her being a more better villain then what Kid is and while the episode did have to reintroduce The Rani as she plays a big part in the next two episodes here she kind of takes away attention from the episodes main villain when if Kid was more developed as a villain then he would be all the more memorable as a character.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly forty seven minuets and thirty one seconds. Which is pretty much the bogstandard running time for this show to have with this episode having just about the right amount of plot there to cover that amount of running time in the first place and yet in saying this tho the episode doesn't use it's running time all that wisely as the episode doesn't take the time that it really should have done to fully develop it's plot and while this would usually be seen as being a bad thing this is a case where having an underdeveloped plot here it is something that does work in the episodes favor as the episode is meant to be alot more fun and spoofing something that is really camp in the first place and therefor the episode didn't really need to have a fully developed plot to work in the first place rather it just needed the basic setup and that's it and yet the episode also doesn't really take the time to fully develop any of it's characters and while that's OK for The Doctor and Belinda as there you could make the argument that they have the rest of this series to get there character development in the first place the same thing cannot be said for the episodes guest characters all of whom come across as being blanks of wood as the episode doesn't give any of them character development as we know as much about all of the episodes guest characters coming out of the episode then we did coming into the episode with this being something that could have been fixed by giving the guest characters more times to shine and by giving them more scenes that show of just who they are as characters something which would have made them be all the more memorable as characters but I really will admit that this episode really does have some really good pacing to it tho.

So now then as this is an action show that really does mean that I have to actually talk about the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. With the episode not really having that much action in it which given the fact that this episode is basically Die Hard in space is something that does make alot of sense but at the same time tho it would have made perfect sense if the episode did have some over the top action in it as this is meant to be a really over the top episode and therefor it's something that wouldn't seem out of place in this episode with the best action scene in the whole entire episode being where The Doctor who is so enraged as he thinks that Belinda has been killed almost tortures Kid to death something which does bring out a new side to The Doctor but at the same time tho this action scene doesn't quite work all that well as The Doctor hasn't really known Belinda for all that long so there would be no reason for him to get this upset at Kid at least not to the point of almost killing him whereas if this was someone like Ruby Sunday for example then it would have made more sense due to the fact that both of these characters have had more time together and have a stronger bond then what he has with Belinda but it is still a good really good scene in it's own right as it's a scene that does show us just how far that The Doctor could possibly go to when he doesn't have a human there to keep him grounded in the first place in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall whilst it is easy to see why this episode isn't as good as it could have been as there alot of faults to be found in the episode this episode is also one that's really fun to watch and whilst it really does have an ending that ties into the two part finale this is an episode really that a none fan of the show really can watch and still find some level of enjoyment out of it in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now the  i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad thigs that are in this very episode in this very review and as such that really does mean that this very episode really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly a 7.5 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from Amazon . Co . Uk , Tardis . Wiki and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from this very episode that I used in this very review being the really great Tardis . Wiki really simply just due to the fact that really alot of if not really all of the images that are all really from this very episode with alot of them really being really better quality then what you'd really think of and all of the images are really of course up and really on Tardis . Wiki really are also really all fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.
