Time Ram has to decide whether to die stupid or stand down, as we review 'The Zygon Invasion/Inversion' which has changed Scotsmen from Peter Capaldi to Sylvester McCoy. In the process, we discover Robert Lindsay, garbled plot points and the Osgood conundrum. Will the quantel paint box cope? Will something very nasty happen to Uxbridge? And how many types of Zygon are there anyway?

On the cusp of turning 75, Robert Lindsay, star of stage and screen, reflects on his award-winning career and offers insights into his life behind the scenes.  

Robert Lindsay is Gyles's guest this week, and the conversation they have is brilliant: evocative, revealing, and funny. Robert takes Gyles back to his working class childhood, growing up as the son of a carpenter in a two-up-two-down house in Derbyshire; he reminisces about his parents' love for each other and for dancing and laughing together, and about the practical jokes they used to play on their neighbours. Robert talks about how he was encouraged to act by teachers at school, who spotted his talent and nurtured it; and about his time at RADA and the early days of his career. He tells Gyles about the intoxication of his days on Broadway, and how he started to believe his own hype after he won the Tony for Me and My Girl, and about the failure of the feature film he made with Carl Reiner. This is a fascinating chat, full of great stories. Thank you, Robert. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

In 1982 British filmmakerJames Scott had made an Academy Award winning adaptation of a Graham Greene novella. Adapting another Greene novella, this time as a feature length film, seemed like a natural progression of things. He had Greene's blessing to take his novella Loser Takes All and turn into a film that would feature stage star Robert Lindsay and Molly Ringwald. He had every element in place. Almost. The only thing left was getting American distribution. And that was found when a deal was struck with Miramax. All that James Scott had to do in order to get his modest British comedy made was deal with a producer named Harvey Weinstein, who had a lot of ideas on how this film should be made.LinksJames Scott's WebsiteSourcesRizov, Vadim.

In August 1986, the delightful British musical Me and My Girl made its grand entrance at the Marquis Theatre, starring the talented Robert Lindsay. A fusion of Pygmalion and Cinderella, the show revolves around Bill Snibson, a carefree Cockney man who unexpectedly discovers he is an Earl and must abandon his Lambeth girlfriend, Sally Smith, to claim his title and estate. Mark Robinson, a renowned theater historian, raves about the production, declaring it to be a source of pure joy, captivating audiences and critics alike. However, behind the scenes, the Marquis Theatre faced significant challenges that affected the run of the musical. The original plans for the theater did not align with city regulations, leading to constant revisions during construction, which resulted in sewage, plumbing, and heating issues onstage and backstage. In this episode you'll learn about the history and tremendous success of Me and My Girl both in London and New York, and you'll find out why the theater owners, eyeing an even more profitable replacement, decided to end the run of this award-winning show prematurely.

In Maleficent: Mistress of Evil returns to the tale of Sleeping Beauty five years later. Aurora is Queen and Maleficent still the protector of the Moors and the land is seemingly at peace. But rumors of the fairy-cursed child whisper across the land causing its human inhabitants to once, again view Maleficent as dangerously evil. It's at this point, Mistress of Evil begins its story (and Phenom's issues, Ro made it perhaps five minutes further into the mix before side-eyeing the screen...).  Phenom and Ro both agree (pretty much the only time) that the look and tonal quality of Mistress of Evil more than serves to set the stage for a return to this fantastical realm and its magical (and mundane) inhabitants. But this beautifully rendered world is hardly an integral part of the story. It's a shame how little its explored this time around; a wasteful shame. That sentiment, unfortunately sums up the MTR crew's overall feelings about this film.  Maleficent: Mistress of Evil Tries To Do Too Much  What starts out a straightforward story about combining families through marriage (and joining/saving kingdoms because that's totally what princesses are for in Disney-land) turns into Guess Who's Coming to dinner (Michelle Pfeiffer is a perfect villainous Queen; her petty is just that good).  Angelina Jolie is Maleficent, Sam Riley is Diaval, Jenn Murray is Gerda, Harris Dickinson is Prince Phillip, Elle Fanning is Aurora, Robert Lindsay is King John and Michelle Pfeiffer is Queen Ingrith in Disney’s live-action MALEFICENT: MISTRESS OF EVIL.         This should've been Maleficent's story from beginning to end and not just because Chiwetel Ejiofor and Ed Skrein deserved more screen time. The story of the dark fairies is hands down the most interesting part of the plot. It offers the most opportunity for world-building, character exploration, and moving the myth of Maleficent, godmother and protector of the Moors, forward beyond its starting point.  Chiwetel Ejiofor is Connal in Disney’s MALEFICENT: MISTRESS OF EVIL. Instead, the story morphs into a war between humans and the Fae with a side Maleficent (and the dark fairies) origin story. Disney tried to shove an entire trilogy in a single film. It couldn't resist letting a Disney princess in need of a wedding ultimately hijack the narrative.   Wasted Opportunities  While the story narrative is cohesive, it focus is too often split across poorly developed characters and paper thin tension-building.

In Maleficent: Mistress of Evil returns to the tale of Sleeping Beauty five years later. Aurora is Queen and Maleficent still the protector of the Moors and the land is seemingly at peace. But rumors of the fairy-cursed child whisper across the land causing its human inhabitants to once, again view Maleficent as dangerously evil. It's at this point, Mistress of Evil begins its story (and Phenom's issues, Ro made it perhaps five minutes further into the mix before side-eyeing the screen...).  Phenom and Ro both agree (pretty much the only time) that the look and tonal quality of Mistress of Evil more than serves to set the stage for a return to this fantastical realm and its magical (and mundane) inhabitants. But this beautifully rendered world is hardly an integral part of the story. It's a shame how little its explored this time around; a wasteful shame.

Volvemos con el segundo volumen dedicado al compositor Alan Menken, completando su etapa inicial de la que ya nos ocupamos en el podcast anterior y que ahora abarcaremos desde el año 1997 a la actualidad, arrancando con "Hércules" y terminando con algunas curiosidades y temas rechazados para que os hagáis una idea de la capacidad de este músico que quería ser un cantante como sus idolatrados Billy Joel o Elton John, hasta que descubrió las enormes posibilidades que le ofrecía el teatro musical.

Picks from across the week on In Tune with Sean Rafferty: soprano Angela Gheorghiu remembers working with Solti and talks about getting back into the recording studio; actor Robert Lindsay channels his inner Ebenezer Scrooge; and flautist Juliette Bausor with pianist Tim Horton attempt to resist the urge to make puns about CPE Bach's 'Hamburger Suite' (with limited success).

Writer / director Darren Aronofsky's Mother! is a horror film starring Jennifer Lawrence and Javier Bardem. A young woman is single handedly restoring her husband's country home which has been destroyed by fire, when their seemingly tranquil life is disrupted by the arrival of a mysterious couple played by Michelle Pfeiffer and Ed Harris. Booker prize winning Irish writer Roddy Doyle frequently returns in his novels to a childhood in the 1960s and 1970s on a housing estate in north Dublin. His new novel Smile returns to the trauma of school days when 54-year-old Victor Forde, separated from his television presenter wife, is confronted by memories of his experiences at the Christian Brothers school he attended as a child. Kathe Kollwitz was one of the leading artists of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, notable for the emotional power of her drawing, printmaking and later sculpture. Portrait of the Artist: Kathe Kollwitz at Birmingham's Ikon Gallery includes around forty works from the British Museum's remarkable print collection. Known for painting, printmaking and sculpture, her most famous art cycles, including The Weavers and The Peasant War, depict the effects of poverty, hunger, and war on the working class.

The comedian and writer Sara Pascoe explains to Kirsty Lang why Pride and Prejudice, great as the book is, was in need of a comic stage adaptation. Her play based on Jane Austen's novel is about to open at the Nottingham Playhouse. It includes scenes with modern commentary, original music from Emmy the Great, and jokes. The Man Booker Prize shortlist, announced today, includes some surprises - omissions as well as inclusions. Critics Alex Clark and Toby Lichtig deliver their verdicts and nominate their favourite to win. Actor Robert Lindsay talks to Kirsty about playing Jack Cardiff in Prism, a play about the cinematographer's life. Prism looks back at Cardiff's career which includes working on the film sets of The Red Shoes, The African Queen and Sons and Lovers.Presenter: Kirsty Lang Producer: Kate Bullivant.

John-Luke has been a writer for TV shows such as Never Mind The Buzzcocks, Have I Got News For You and co-wrote the sit-com "Bull", starring Robert Lindsay and Maureen Lipman.
