The fat just walks away...

Adipose

So today is the first day of the April A to Z Challenge....I love blogging, I just love lots of other things too especially my kids and I just never have time for everything. I completed the A to Z Challenge in 2012, I wrote a blog post every single day for the entire month...all based on Doctor Who (if you look back through the posts you will find them all) then I tried again last year and managed one post before life smacked me in the face....I have got massively into photography over the past couple of years and am already particpating in a 365 Challenge...a photo a day for an entire year over on blipfoto see here so thought I could combine the two.  So if I don't have time to write I will just post a photograph that I can use on both blogs. That's the theory, let's see if I can put it in to practise.  I'm not sure that every post will be Doctor Who themed so apologies to my wonderful geek followers...some will be of course, it would be difficult for Doctor Who not to play a part in this as it is such a big part of my life.  

So here you are my first post in the April A to Z Challenge is Adipose. Adipose were little aliens that appeared in the episode of Doctor Who called 'Partners in Crime' it's in this episode that the Doctor (being played by David Tennant) is reunited with Donna Noble (Catherine Tate) it has some brilliant comic scenes in it, my favourite being the scene where they first spot each other.  Apparently Russell T Davies had not written much direction apart from that Donna would need to mime her greeting to the Doctor and Catherine Tate improvised on the day of filming....it's clear to see that she is an accomplished comedian.  

A is for Adipose

  4. Karen, welcome to the A to Z Challenge! Love Dr. Who and my favorite episode is Don't Blink (I think that's the title).

    1. Hi Stephen, thanks for stopping by. Yes Blink is one of my all time favourites, it is a brilliantly written and terrifying episode. It's unusual for it to be so popular as it's considered a 'Doctor light' episode, there are one or two every series in which the Doctor doesn't appear so much.
