"Rudolph" from Duck the Halls album for Dr Who

And if you like to see how the same song can be handled completely differently, Gene Autry's Rudolph for Star Trek's Scotty's red nose.

Not into Christmas? How about Cat Stevens' "Father and Son" for Indy Jones and his father?

Dr Who jumped the shark and fell into its waiting jaws ...

That was one of the GREAT episodes!

After buying Christmas for several years and having to spend way too much on Santa for children, one year, I finally had enough. I decided to punch Santa in the nose for all the money he had cost me over the years. So, I went to his house to punch him in the nose and knocked and knocked on his door, but he wasn’t at home. As I was leaving, I saw a reindeer in his yard. So, I decided to go punch the reindeer in the nose. And I punched that reindeer in the nose several times. In fact, many times I punched that reindeer in the nose. Over and over, I punched that reindeer in the nose. And that is how Rudolph the red nose reindeer got his name.

You are SOOOOOOO funny! Loved it!

Really? One of the Great? I just made up the sentence based on the bad writing of late, homosexuality, and now the Doctor becomes a woman - likely gay as well. Dead.

Jingle Bells by Willie Nelson for Dr Who

Dr Who, Matt Smith, is trying to save a spaceship that will crash on a planet, so he goes down to negotiate with the person who runs the planet. Interesting planet, where the fish, including sharks, swim in the air. The story plays out like A Christmas Story with the ghosts of the man's past changing the future until he accepts that the frozen girl from his past WILL die and becomes the kind person he might have been. And Dr Who drives him and the girl in a "one horse sleigh" pulled by a shark.

I'm sad about the way the new story lines are going, but I still adore David Tennant and Matt Smith.

Jon Petree, the original 007 in real life, aka the Third Doctor
Tom Baker, aka the Fourth Doctor.

Tennant and Smith had good writers, but just not the actors the other two were.

Fascinating. Goggled Pertwee and 007 and got this.

007's Influence on the Pertwee Era of Doctor Who

But I also found Double-O-Who? Jon Pertwee's secret life as a wartime agent... years before he did battle with the Daleks

and Jon Pertwee: From secret agent in WWII to Dr Who

Didn't know ANY of that. Great information.

Truth be told there was an outfit in WWII the Brits called SOE, I think. They were the last radio link in the chain defending Gibraltar. One of the agents manning the elaborate cave system was designated GB007. The Commander of the Fleet the SOE chaps were in communications with during the start of the invasion of North Africa was Ian Fleming ...

Do you wonder that Dr Julian Bashir in Deep Space 9 was so fascinated with spies? A quarter of the mystery shelves of my bookcases must be spy novels.
