There have been a lot of whispers in the rumor mill about lost episodes of Doctor Who being found, and almost every time we heard a rumor, the BBC was quick to call shenanigans. This time we have the official release of 11 episodes from the Second Doctor (Patrick Troughton) on iTunes. Here’s the official press release from the BBC:
BBC Worldwide North America announces that a stash of BBC master tapes from the 1960s featuring missing episodes of Doctor Who has been recovered in Nigeria, Africa. The BBC has re-mastered the tapes, and is making two stories, “The Enemy of the World” and “The Web of Fear,” now available exclusively on iTunes (www.itunes.com/DoctorWho).
Eleven Doctor Who episodes were discovered (nine of which have not been seen for 46 years) by Philip Morris, director of Television International Enterprises Archive, by tracking records of tape shipments made by the BBC to Africa for transmission.

As subjective as art is, a few truths can be agreed upon: Shakespeare remains essential and those who understand and re-enact his works are important.
Tina Packer (the original "Dr. Who"), who has devoted a lifetime to Shakespeare, is more than important; she is a master. She has directed most of Shakespeare's plays, built Shakespeare & Company in Lenox, Mass., and has acted in many of his plays. She has lectured extensively on his canon at Harvard, M.I.T. and Nyu.
And it is at Nyu, in the Gym at Judson, a basement theater where her creation, "Tina Packer's Women of Will" opened Sunday (Feb. 3).
Here, she plays a variety of the women of Shakespeare and her well-matched counter, Nigel Gore, plays the men. They are top-notch, learned and spot-on. That is when they stick to the bard's lines. When they do, a spell is cast, as it is...

In roles large and small, in theater and onscreen, Jim Broadbent is a masterful actor. Thanks to impeccable credentials—training at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art, rising up through Britain's National Theatre and the Royal Shakespeare Company, and continuing to ply his craft from his days in Britain's repertory system through today—he is superb in every role he takes on.Imprinting his work with his characteristic mix of truthfulness and colorful details, whether appearing in period comedies or wrenching dramas, he can play an astonishing variety of characters. The kinetic manager in "Moulin Rouge!" and the devastated husband in "Iris" reflect only two of the many extremes of his work. The straight-and-narrow judge in "Vera Drake" gives smooth way to Bridget Jones' placidly patient dad. And Broadbent deftly leaps from portraying a star in Woody Allen's "Bullets Over Broadway" to playing the Duke of...
