The Craggus (360 KP) rated Doctor Who: Revolution Of The Daleks in TV

Jan 2, 2021

This revolution should not have been televised.

I can’t be alone, surely, in wondering where the ‘Revolution’ was in “Revolution Of The Daleks”? In the end, there was very little about this perfunctory seasonal feature-length special that was revolutionary – or, indeed, special.

David Hare recommended Fanshen: A Documentary of Revolution in a Chinese Village in Books (curated)

"Adapting this book about the Chinese agrarian revolution for Joint Stock Theatre in 1975 opened my mind to the possibilities of playwriting."

Book Favorite

The most striking thing about the story of Rip Van Winkle is not merely that Rip slept twenty years, but that he slept through a revolution. All too many people find themselves living amid a great period of social change, and yet they fail to develop the new attitudes, the new mental responses, that the new situation demands. They end up sleeping through a revolution.

Yoko Ono recommended In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto in Books (curated)

"It’s actually a book you have to read before OMNIVORE’S DILEMMA, by the same author. This book was the beginning of Michel Pollan’s revolution. A must read."

Part of the 90's music revolution, that we're only really now beginning to fully appreciate what an amazing musical era it was.

Ursula K. Le Guin recommended Mary Barton in Books (curated)

"Gaskell’s first novel, the tale of a working-class girl in Manchester during the Industrial Revolution, probably isn’t her best, but I’ve not yet got through it without tears. It’s so alive with indignation, sympathy, and compassion."

Tim Gunn recommended Nicholas and Alexandra: The Tragic, Compelling Story of the Last Tsar and His Family in Books (curated)

"This definitive biography of the last Tsar and Tsarina of Russia is superbly written and totally captivating. Frankly, it transformed me into a pre-revolution Russophile; I can’t read enough about this fascinating era that shook the world."
