As today would have Jon pertwees birthday today his 100th birthday thought I would review his forth season which was also the tenth season of doctor who a season of highs and lows bringing back both Hartnell and troughton as the doctor plus daleks the master in Roger Delgado last story before his tragic car accident robbed of the best master and then we come to green death probably the stand story of the season the one with the maggots In away it was end of kind of era Joe grant leaves in one of the saddest moments in the shows history as the last shot is of the doctor driving off in Bessie it's so sad.. but anyway waiting for season 10 blu ray to arrive in the post sometime today overall good season

Watched last night on blu ray and in colour and loved everything about from the script the setting a prison the doctor played by Jon pertwee in his element now into his second season as the doctor. But let's not forget to mention the villain of the story the main villain of the entire season the master as played by rodger delgardo most doctor who fans will tell he was the first and probably the best master of all time he gives the role gravitas he can be both charming and then totally evil at the same time its shame he died in tragic car accident while on filming abroad . anyway still good story some nice action scenes near the end Katy manning is brilliant as jo grant in only her second story let's not forget unit always realied on to come to the rescue. Wont mention the dodgy looking dragon at the end of episode 2

How on earth can John Boyne write a book about a thoroughly , rich, famous and unpleasant family, for it to be a hilarious satire on the state of modern life that I wanted to keep listening to. It helped enormously that Richard E. Grant was narrating. He was perfect. I mean, in real life he seems really lovely, but in this audiobook, his narration exactly reflects the Cleverley family’s selfishness and disregard for anyone other than themselves.

The whole family is obsessed with social media, permanently glued to their phones - all except for the youngest member of the family who gets his kicks elsewhere. Achilles starts off as the most likeable family member, but it soon becomes apparent that he’s as bad as the rest.

I laughed throughout this: it really is very funny. The insights into social media are spot on, and has actually made me think about how much time I spend on it (whatever it was, it’s a lot less now - with the added bonus that I read more!). I can see that some would find this controversial. There were times when I wanted to block out what these people had said or done. I was far too caught up in it though, and wanted to see what they could possibly do next!

Another outstanding book from John Boyne!
