Videos Been Making Me Happy: Doctor Who, Cheese, and Beyonce in the country

Some videos I've been enjoying lately:

1.  A video made to celebrate/thank Russell T. Davies and Julie Gardner for being the incredible creators of the rebooted Doctor Who.  Starring David Tennant, Catherine Tate, and John Barrowman & his fake piano playing,  and featuring some awesome lyrics.

2.  The official anthem for cheddar cheese, made for the British Cheese Board.

3.  This made me admire Beyonce so much more.  Plus, what an excellent cover!

4.  I will never ever tire of this, and someday I WILL use it to learn all the kings and queens of England.

5.  Revisiting one of my favorite sketches from Mitchell and Webb (although I have so many favorites).

Envying London: the plays the thing!

One of my favorite up-and-coming young British actresses, Felicity Jones, was on the front page of the arts section of the NY Times today! Yay!

She is performing in a new play, "Luise Miller," about political corruption, intrigue, and the undoing of young, honest folk in love. Sounds great! Too bad I can't see it because it is in London.

The dashing Ben Daniels is in it too playing an evil chancellor. But I still can't see him, because like the rest of the play & ensemble, he is in London. But he is looking devilishly handsome in the photo for the article! Some small consolation.

Alex Kingston is in this too, playing the mistress to the prince. WHY CAN'T I SEE THIS? Meanwhile, the Doctor and Donna Noble, oops, I mean David Tennant and Catherine Tate are having a boozy 80s jamboree as Benedick and Beatrice in Much Ado About Nothing. Kevin Spacey is playing Richard III; Dominic West and Paul McGann are also treading the boards . . .

If I lived in London (and had the money for it too, while I am dreaming) I would seriously be at the theatre every night!
