Bernard Cribbins talks Doctor Who special - and nearly playing a Time Lord

21 December 2009 7:03 AM, PST | The Geek Files | See recent The Geek Files news »

Veteran entertainer Bernard Cribbins reprises his role as Wilfred Mott in David Tennant's upcoming final Doctor Who episodes.

Cribbins, who turns 81 on December 29, can be seen in two-parter The End Of Time on Christmas Day and New Year's Day on BBC1.

Here's what he had to say:

How Does It Feel To Play The Doctor's Latest Glamorous Assistant?

I think I was far too good-looking for it - and too tall and all those things. But it was great fun, and I was delighted when I was told I would be the companion for these last few episodes. Terrific.

It's The End Of An Era For The Current Doctor Who. How Much Can You Reveal About The Christmas Two-parter?

I honestly, and I mean this sincerely, can't reveal anything because I didn't have the pages. They didn't give me the last three or four pages, because they knew I'm »

Not Available on DVD: ‘Twisted Nerve’

19 August 2009 7:14 AM, PDT | WeAreMovieGeeks.com | See recent WeAreMovieGeeks.com news »

In honor of Quentin Tarantino week here at Wamg, this column will tackle the 1968 British psycho-thriller Twisted Nerve. A music highlight of Tarantino’s first Kill Bill film in 2003 occurs during the scene when Darryl Hannah’s eye-patched Elle Driver is walking down the hospital corridors intending to dispatch Uma Thurman and she’s whistling this haunting tune that is at the same time both childlike and threatening. Curious, I read the closing credits and the strange song was identified as the theme from the movie Twisted Nerve composed by Bernard Herrmann. That title was familiar as I had its cool psychedelic U.S. one-sheet in my collection but I’d never seen the film and immediately became determined to track it down. I was able to secure a British Pal import of the film and was pleased to find Twisted Nerve an excellent, nasty little forgotten thriller about a warped young psychopath. »

My biggest obstacle at this point is not finding the material, it’s finding the time to watch it, and the money to purchase it all. After consistently emptying my bank account on countless DVD’s and books over the last few months, I really started to ask myself one question: How the hell can I pick all this stuff up quickly and affordably? Well, an obvious solution occurred to me - why not seek out box sets?

While Ebay is my one stop shop for books (I recommend it to all), DVD’s are not always as easy to track down, so I decided to highlight 15 cool box sets which will enable you to beef up your collection without breaking your pocket book.
