Yeah, Halloween. That's why I posted it.  :)
Thanks, Sarge.

It's been pretty good overall. I sometimes get bored before the end of a series and give up, but always come back for the start of a new one :).

It certainly has its ups and downs! I have a strong hunch that the new showrunner Chibnall will get this show just right, or at least improve upon aspects of RTD and Moffat I didn't care for........

He looks very angry, very angry indeed. Was there no earth shattering kaboom?

My very first avatar from all those years ago. At that time, it was available as one of the default avatars.

It's Ernie from Sesame Street.

I've had many avatars that were photos - all taken by me - of women, but the current image (Paulette Goddard) is the first time my avatar is a photo of a woman I haven't kissed.

Is that only because she had a getaway vehicle?  ;)

Until now such a thought had never crossed my mind. But, I'm not going to let you spoil that photo for me.   8) ;D

Gorgeous woman. Nice photo. 8)

NikF

Yeah, I think she is too.  :)
It was either going to be that photo of her or a shot of Maureen O'Sullivan from the old MGM series of Tarzan movies - because she's adorable as Jane. And when I say 'adorable' that word fails to impart what quality I'm referring to. 8)

Maureen O'Sullivan was quite a looker as well, but I think Paulette Goddard is in a class of her own along with Grace Kelly, Ava Gardner, Gene Tierney, Lauren Bacall, among others.

Sure, those are all beautiful women.  :) It's weird, but last year I was at a screening of Hitchcock's Rear Window, and no matter how many times I've seen it or the format it's presented in, those few moments when Grace Kelly's face fills the frame as she closes in to kiss James Stewart - it still makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up.

LOVE that Hitchcock film. Such a classic. Agree with you about Grace Kelly. Exquisite beauty.
