This was so hard! I really do love all the actors (apart from Eight whom I have yet to watch), so this list is not meant as a slur against the Doctor who didn’t make it. I adore them too!

1. Three. The Doctor who really made me fall in love with Doctor Who. I like his sarcasm and his frustration with being stuck on Earth and his relationship with the Master and the Brig.

2. Ten. One of the things I like about Doctor Who is that he is a flawed her. Sometimes he is wrong or make a bad decision and he isn’t always completely good. So even if Ten’s story arc is a rather dark one, I like it just because of that. And I think his babbling is fun.

3. Four. This was the only Doctor I knew about when I started to watch the show. I find it hard not to like Tom Baker’s larger than life personality (at least on screen, I’m sure he could be rather difficult to deal with) and I like his Doctor who is really very alien at times. As the Doctor , really is.

4. Five. Peter Davison is very cute here, but I like Five so much because he is so different from the other Doctor’s, approaching things almost hesitantly and he is also a lot more passive, though probably (at the time) them most ruthless of them. I think he suffered from too make companions, and really shone in his last two episodes.

5. This was the hardest one! But I think, now when I have finally watched most of Seven’s episodes, that I must say just Seven!

1. Jason Isaacs. He’s always good, isn’t he? And he’s nice. I’ve actually met him at a movie premiere yonks ago and I was very impressed by him.



2. Ciaran Hinds. I saw him, pretty much at the same time, as Bois-Guilbert in Rebecca and Captain Wentworth in Persuasion and has been a fan ever since.



3. George Sanders. I developed a crush on him at a very tender ago and it never went away. Sanders is always good, even when the movie i awful, but my favourites are All About Eve and Rebecca.



4. Philip Zandén. A Swedish actor, you probably don’t know about he has mostly done stage work, which I always try to watch. I think he is most known outside Sweden in Bröderna Mozart (The Mozart Brothers), a pseudo-documentary about a production of Mozart’s Don Giovanni where Zandén plays dual roles as Mozart and the ignored (and often belittled) rehearsal pianist. It’s one of the funniest movies I have ever seen, you can see the trailer here. Also check out the more dramatic Skyddsängeln (The Guardian Angel), if you don’t mind subtitles, both these films are directed by Suzanne Osten. Skyddsängeln takes place in a fictitious European country around 1900 and Zandén plays a revolutionary who, in the guise of a body guard, infiltrates an important politician’s life in order to kill him. Unfortunately he finds it isn’t so easy when he gets emotionally involved with the politician and his family.



5. Alan Rickman. Perhaps a given, but his voice… Well, his voice.

1. Mid-weight wool. A pure joy to sew in and presses well too.

2. Silk noil. A slubby non-shiny silk that drapes well and is easy to sew in.

3. Silk taffeta. also nice to work with, though doesn’t take changes terribly well.

4. Light weight linen. Much nicer to work with and wear than cotton. It wrinkles, though.

5.Dress.weight wool. My favourite for winter dresses and shirts.

Agreed about Alan Rickman. I fell for him long ago, in Truly, Madly, Deeply and even before that in The Barsetshire Chronicles. Always good, often outstanding.

My favourite Doctors are probably Two, Four, Five and Twelve, but I imprinted on One at a very early age.

You sew! Last January my older daughter got married and I made fake fur capelets for her bridesmaids. The house was knee-deep in fluff. Then I made the bride a wool cape - Yorkshire wool, beautiful to handle and perfect to make up. It was like a reward for fighting with all the fur!

I'm currently playing with fleeces and jerseys, as that daughter is due to have a baby within days of her first wedding anniversary.

Truly, Madly, Deeply is a lovely movie which needs more love than it gets. I fell in love with him there too. :)And he is awlays good, whatever mess the rest of the movie is (Robin Hood, I'm looking at you). :)

I never saw DW as a child, it wasn't aired in Sweden. If it had, then I probably would have seen Three or Four first. :) I'm growing very fond of Tvelwe, I think he may be on this list after next season.

Yes, I sew most of my clothes. :) I get them exactly as I want, and I also have a lot of opinions about the clothing industry and how clothes have become something cheap, when the reality is that even a simple garment demand an amount of time to make that almost no one is prepared to pay what it actually cost to make (if we are talking decent salaries). Ahem. I'll stop now. And I love to sew too, or course.

Your daughter looks very beautiful and the cape is Lovely. I love that shade of blue! But yes, fake fur can drive one to distraction. :9 And what fun to have the opportunity to make babie's clothes!

Excellent answers! And I don't know Philip Zanden, but I like his face; that's a great pic, so I like him already. :-)

The last bit is in a foreign language to me but sounds pretty good anyway.

I'm glad you're liking Seven on your rewatch!

Thanks! Philip Zandén is very nice looking, isn't he? He used to come a coffee shop I worked in when I was 20 and I was properly start struck. :)

I really do, he's charming the socks out of me. :D

Yay for big pictures and George:)

Thanks for your answers:) Fabric that irons well is always welcome. I have a vintage 1970's pussy bow blouse made out of nylon - I stare the creases out of it.

[scripsi.livejournal.com]

Thanks! Always nice with eye-candy.

Augh, nylon! Yes, I can imagine you do. :D

OH MY GOSH!!!! You love George Sanders too? I am such a fan! He was marvelous!

Yes I do! :D And yes, he was just marvelous! Such a bad boy, and snarky too! <3

GEORGE SANDERS <3! I've actually only seen him in All About Eve and The Ghost and Mrs. Muir, which was one of my favorite movies as a child. Mrs. Muir develops a romantic friendship with a ghost, and George Sanders plays The Lure of the Flesh, in very untrustworthy form. And he voiced Shere Khan in The Jungle Book -- but of course you know all this already. He's one of my favorites.

I've only ever seen Ciaran Hinds in Rome, but anyone who can make me not completely hate Julius Caesar is a great actor as far as I'm concerned.

[scripsi.livejournal.com]

I saw The Ghost and Mrs. Muir when I was very young, so I don't remember much of it, but I guess it's one ofthe reasons I have liked George Sanders since I was way too young to really understand bad boys. :D I need to Watch it again. Sanders usually do Lures of the Flesh in untrustworthy ways... And he does it so well too. To the point that when he is supposed to be First Lover you can really feel it isn't his forte. In Lured (you can find it on Youtube) he plays suspected serial killer and playboy with panache, but when his character gets eased into First Lover he seems a bit uncertain of himself.

Hinds is great in Rome, and I'm not a big fan of Julius Ceasar either. Do see Persuasion, he's a wonderful Captain Wentworth, and he's great in Ivanhoe as well. He is also very good in Political Animals where he gets to act with Sigourney Weaver.

The Ghost and Mrs. Muir is worth rewatching if you have a couple hours to spare. Beautiful cinematography, lots of funny dialogue, and a pretty well-made turn into melancholy. I think it's the only movie I've ever really liked Rex Harrison in, Gene Tierney is great to watch, and George Sanders covers every available surface in oil in the time-honored George Sanders manner. <3

I do have to check out Persuasion-the-movie sooner rather than later. And Lured!

[scripsi.livejournal.com]

I'll defintly will give it a go. As I do a lot of hand-seing I usually Watch something along with the sewing. :)

I wouldn't cal Lured a good Movie exactly. It has a bit of a trouble deciding if it is a thriller or a romantic Comedy. But Lucille Ball is great fun and Boris Karloff has a minor, but fun, part.

[scripsi.livejournal.com]

Yes, that are always very good, regardless of the rest of the movie!
