Doctor Who?

The new series of Doctor Who starts tonight, yippee! David Tennant was sexy in Blackpool and funny in Casanova; I am sure he will be brilliant as the transmogrified Time Lord. As long as he doesn't have any of that silly dubious relationship nonsense with Billie Piper; Doctor Who doesn't do that sort of thing, for goodness' sake.

But before that I have to get through the rehearsal. This is all most unlike Linden but after the minor fiasco that was the Christmas concert - that resulted in our techies threatening to walk out - it was deemed wise. So we've had a few planning meetings culminating in a technical/dress rehearsal this evening.

Puppeteering isn't as easy as it looks. Because I speak without thinking (only too often, I'm afraid) I'm not much aware of the subtle mouth shaping involved and when that has to be translated into hand manipulation, it all gets rather confusing. Particularly when one's co-ordination lacks a little something.
