It would be totally typical of my luck if, for some bizarre reason, Doctor Who was to air in the U.S. first, just after I’ve made the move to the U.K. What else did they think I came here for?!
When Colin Firth wins the Oscar for Best Actor in a few hours for this role, it will be one of the rare happy concurrences of the actual best performance of the year being recognized by the industry’s highest honor as such.
Oh yes: I’ve got my ticket. The BBC ignored my query about a press preview. Or maybe they’re not having a press preview. Either way, I’ll attend on Monday, and report soonest afterward about how totally freakin’ cool it is. Or isn’t.
