"They are very clever shows, but they also fetishise cleverness. Cleverness is the superpower. So I get irritated when people say on Twitter: 'It's too complicated. I'm not following it.' Well, you could try putting your phone down and watching it." When Moffat took over from Davies as Doctor Who's head writer, he was in Hollywood, having been contracted to write three Tintin films for Steven Spielberg. He walked out on Spielberg – what a thing to have on his CV! "I felt really guilty. Far from swaggering out of the building saying, 'I don't care about your damn movie', I felt haunted with guilt because I was the villain. I'm glad they used some of my script in the first film. Steven was lovely about it. He could have sued me." Isn't choosing British TV over Hollywood nuts, career-wise? "Not really. I think TV is pushing ahead. It used to be we make TV on video and they remake it on 35mm. We all now work in high-def, we

On our second trip to WDW and DAK in 2010, I was able to take more photos 'cause Maddy needed less hand-holding. Here are the "best of" pics from that day.

The following was written in response to my critique of ' The Great Mouse Detective .' TonyWDA Jan 16, 2012 08:00 PM So because your three-year old daughter couldn't sit through a film that wasn't in the usual Disney convention -- something you should've looked into BEFORE watching it with her -- you think it's the worst of the animated feature canon? The Great Mouse Detective was a film made to break away from the traditional Disney fairy-tale formula, so don't judge it for something you wish it was as opposed to what it is: A tale of mystery in the tradition of Sherlock Holmes, NOT Cinderella and Beauty and the Beast, told through artwork you should've given more credit for.

Your apathy towards the film's plot and characters is most likely the result of your disdain for the kind of story it's telling in the first place, so don'

The Octonauts is a Children’s TV Series, produced by Silvergate Media for Cbeebies and animated by Brown Bag Films. The TV series is based on the children’s books written by Vicki Wong and Michael Murphy of Meomi Design Inc. [See more below] This latest offering from Disney Junior, is a fun, flashy, action-adventure pre-school show. The Octonauts are eight explorers who live, work and play aboard their mobile under-sea base the Octopod. Each (very) short episode finds them living their mantra of "Explore, Rescue, Protect." These episodes are tiny science lessons as they introduce the audience to real under-sea creatures and habitats. There's also a catchy wrap-up tune that recaps what they learned about that episodes sea creature, muc
