Hello, Sweetie

Our poor Doctor. He’s so harangued by River Song. LOL. Even the brief, surprise greeting of, “Hello, Sweetie,” elicits such a hangdog response that you just want to put your arm around The Doctor and tell him that everything will be okay. Being out of the loop, I had no idea there was a current running through fandom with theories about River. I’m pretty bad to take a plot point at face value and just let the story play out, but now I’m dying to get into the conspiracy theorists’ minds.

That’s the big difference with the new series; it’s smarter. Certainly not to disparage RTD’s helm, which was still largely better than anything else on television, but the nuances now are just a bit more mature and cerebral. Perhaps the least cerebral clue, as I mentioned before, is “The Crack” and though I did not spot the crack in the episode, it’s FINALLY being seen by The Doctor in the preview for next week’s episode. Next week’s episode, by the way, looks to be full of excitement, and motion, and intrigue.

In what I consider to be the mark of greatness for a show, a Twitter friend of mine is just getting into Doctor Who, and I’m proud to have him jump on board with Eleven and Amy. Welcome to the greatest show on Earth. Or Gallifrey. Or Raxacoricofallapatorius. Or, well, you get the picture. With The Doctor and the TARDIS, anything is possible!

  47. Celine Dion’s showstopping ‘live’ performance at the start of the Paris 2024 Olympics was pre-recorded, it was claimed in France today.

    Millions were moved to tears when the 56-year-old Canadian superstar
    sang Hymne à L’amour (Hymn to Love) in front of the Eiffel Tower.

    It was the culmination of a lavish Opening Ceremony mainly held along the banks of the River Seine – one that
    President Emmanuel Macron said was the ’emotional highlight’ of the sporting extravaganza.

    But on Friday, the highly respected Liberation newspaper quoted multiple music
    industry experts who said the July 26th performance was ‘without
    a shadow of a doubt’ pre-recorded.

    In turn, representatives for the Paris 2024 organisers refused to answer questions on the scandal, despite previously insisting that
    the performance was indeed a live one.

    ‘What we heard on TV was a corrected playback,’ composer and performer Etienne Guéreau told Liberation.

    In comments that were republished across French media, a sound engineer
    who asked to remain anonymous said: ‘It was 100% playback, you can hear it from the first notes.’

    Others said it was ‘without a shadow of a doubt’ pre-recorded,
    as was a performance by Ms Dion in rehearsals.

    A YouTuber musician who uses the name Wings of Pegasus said the rehearsal and actual performance also
    sounded exactly the same – something that is technically impossible, as there will always be variations between any two versions of a live song.

    The Olympics performance was meant to be a triumphant comeback for Ms Dion,
    who has been battling the incurable stiff-person syndrome.

    Hymne à L’amour was chosen because it was originally sung by the late French music
    icon Edith Piaf.

    Thousands of fans took to social media to praise Ms Dion, whose greatest hits include ‘My Heart Will Go On’, the theme from the Titanic movie.

    One said: ‘Ok I’m proper emotional at Celine’s performance, just wow!’,
    while another gushed: ‘Queen Celine is back and she sounds fantastic’.

    It was in 2022 that Ms Dion disclosed that she had been diagnosed with the neurological disorder stiff-person syndrome which causes muscles to stiffen and spasm.

    She then made a vow to return to the stage ‘even if I have to crawl’, adding: ‘My goal is to
    see the Eiffel Tower again!’

    Around 104,000 people paid for tickets to watch the Paris 2024 Opening Ceremony live, with the best seats costing
    more than £2500.

    Despite heavy rain, many sat through multiple acts, including a pre-recorded one by Lady Gaga, which was shown on multiple screens along
    the river, as well as around the world.

    But Ms Dion’s performance was meant to be a live one, and it has just been released
    as such on various streaming platforms.

    Ms Dion announced on Instagram on Thursday that the ‘live’ recording was available on sites such as YouTube and Spotify.

    ‘God brings together those who love each other,’ Ms Dion wrote in a reference to the song’s lyrics.

    These are Piaf’s words to the love of her life, French-Algerian boxer Marcel Cerdan, who
    died in a plane crash in October 1949.

    French president Emmanuel Macron spoke about the Dion Olympics performance in an interview
    with Variety magazine this week, saying it caused the ‘biggest emotion’ of all at Paris 2024.
