Links Happy First of December. Here we go again with another year of Christmas Links, the one consistent element of this blog since 2014. Since it's also the twentieth anniversary of the annual reviews, I'm going to include links to some of the favourite guest posts and choose some meaningful items I've written myself before we head off into the links each day.
Let's begin with Review 2002, which for the most part was simply the reposting of material from earlier in the year and has really been a case of trying to find the least embarrassing piece which is sadly this somewhat overwritten description of a real thing which definitely transpired at a Cafe in Paris. My memory still suggests this is how it happened, but I don't know. The older version of me has many questions.
BBC Radio and BBC Sounds to bring festive joy, magical stories and musical treats for audiences this Christmas:
"This Christmas BBC Radio and BBC Sounds will delight listeners with a line up full of festive joy, magical stories and musical treats."
"The Chimes is a feature-length, full-cast adaptation of the ‘lost’ Christmas book by Charles Dickens, due for release on December 5th, and now available to pre-order."
"An unknown "Grinch" tried to steal holiday cheer in on Florida town. On Monday, Melbourne Beach's public works crews were doing their morning check of the historic town pier and discovered someone cut up their 1,400 feet of holiday lights."
"Students’ self-portraits, handwritten recipe cards and yes, the Bidens’ pets, play a starring role."
"When the world is going to hell, you reach for the familiar and the comforting. Even if it leaves you covered in needles."
"Take a look at these festive photos of food from the Pink Lady Food Photographer of the Year competition's past entries."
"Emilycc is a master of compartmentalization."
"A huge crane that is helping to restore flood protection to a Derbyshire town has been given a festive makeover. The machinery, which was named Lifty McShifty following an online poll, has been in Matlock since August."
"There has been an idea expressed that, despite the "what what what?" conclusion of Doctor Who: The Power Of The Doctor, that the Fourteenth Doctor iteration of Doctor Who, while physically very similar (add a few years around the temples) to the Tenth Doctor, may have a very different personality indeed, and might not reflect David Tennant's original portrayal of the character."
"BBC Newsreel (1948) goes to Wimbledon to take a behind-the-scenes peek at the people working painstakingly hard on sets, costumes and rehearsals to ensure the traditional Boxing Day pantomime goes off without a hitch."
