Dave Rennie @haemovoresrus.bsky.social · 1hDreamcatcher (2003) starts v well but the 2nd half is an abomination, with the tension of the chase totally eliminated and no bacon! Ha! Damian Lewis has some cringy moments as Jonesy and Freeman is just not dangerous enough as Kurtz. The kids act their bits well. Last 10mins are wtf?! 4/10 110

Dave Rennie @haemovoresrus.bsky.social · 10hI feel I need to wade into this AI thing as every time I go into YouTube I'm flooded with them now - stop. Just stop. Go back to creating your own Doctors and stories. Using likenesses of actors no longer with us (and some that are!) Is disrespectful to their families. How do you think they feel? 020

Dave Rennie @haemovoresrus.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Bittersweet and a brilliant performance from India Fisher. The parallels between the Prof and Charleys inner turmoil as she keeps her secret from the Doc 😭 Fisher captures Colin perfectly, bravo! #MiniKettle 000

Reposted by Dave RennieLucy McCaul @lucymccaul.bsky.social · 07/10/2026I like it a lot.

Reposted by Dave RennieDaniel Rawnsley @danielrawnsley.bsky.social · 07/10/2026The best Weeping Angel outing since Blink. Statues Are Scary Again, as Chibs & Alderton go full-on parapsychologist-lab-under-siege, building on some of the tricks & twists conjured by Moffat (image of an Angel, stone dust in the eye, etc.) to proper spooky effect. As the kids say, "Goes. So. Hard." 041
Dave Rennie @haemovoresrus.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Sorry very, VERY late in the day but at 8pm @jeffgoddard.bsky.social and I will be looking at the 2011 Angel thriller 'Village of the Angels'.

Dave Rennie @haemovoresrus.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Lalla Ward aces her Tom and Matt, and playing those old dears! 😂 What a wonderful idea - the sewage that is twitter's natural conclusion. Romana drives the story while Doc is banged up! Evocative setting, v S17. 4's mannerisms to a T 👌 #MiniKettle 020
Dave Rennie @haemovoresrus.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Completely hood winked me on 1st listen 🙈 Carter's 'who?' After the Doc has a rant! 😂 Poor Tasmin goes through the wringer in this, Sister indeed 😂X's delight at seeing the Doc, bit of an elaborate trap though. Hardiman adds a bit of further gloss to this. The punishment for thieving 😳 #MiniKettle 000
Dave Rennie @haemovoresrus.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Ann Bell is magnificent as she reveals her repulsive Nazi like views. 7 turning up asking if he can borrow sugar 😂 the setting and the tension are gloriously portrayed as we expect the Mau Mau to turn up. Klein & Doc's sparring is just pure gold as we peel the story layers. Outstanding. #MiniKettle 010
Dave Rennie @haemovoresrus.bsky.social · 28/09/20261. This is a beautiful setting with poetic dialogue and characters. I just don't like Brewster, he nicked the TARDIS and wore his shirt?! 😂 he does save them though. Hello there! 😁 Davo gives a wonderful performance - he's scared, angry, jolly, reckless. Nyssa is just a referee sadly. #MiniKettle 250

This should be lauded much more for Williams actually getting it to screen. Yes the production is flawed at times but he got it made on film, studio and OB. His Greatest Show triumph 021
