I am notoriously impatient with episodic, seasonal television. by season four, almost without fail, I just feel like...

The deleted scenes get more. I uploaded the ones from series 4 a year ago and they have more than 120,000. I wonder if he’s seen Chandler & Co or the student film or Chain or the Sade clip, the most blast from the past of the uploads.

I think I'd be much more freaked out if Peter was being accurate in his approximations for what TTOI stuff on youtube gets.Who knows if he actually goes seeking out his own non-TTOI stuff.

Some of the Tweets were from Canadians and people in the UK. I have trouble understanding him when I watch w/o headphones, not because of his accent, but because the sound mix sucks and puts the speech BEHIND the horrible intrusive incidental music.

It's an example of a lazy article - find some stuff on twitter and declare there is a problem. How many people found his accent impenetrable? No idea. Is this a US only problem? As you point out definitely not. Haven't there been complaints about hearing the dialogue in Doctor Who for years? Yes, mostly relating to the 'background' music and sound mix.

Instead all it tells me is that they know articles about Doctor Who get clicks and even The Guardian much as I love it isn't above that.

Family is definitely a no go area. It’s funny he says Game of Thrones though because I’ve been keeping track and I think he’s worked with almost every (grown up) member of the cast.

Yes, at one point the interviewer mentions she thinks Cissy is in her late teens but doesn't know as Peter won't tell her. He clearly doesn't want to open up his family to Who levels of scrutiny just yet.

And now the countdown to when the guardian get their own exclusive interview… You know they are all sitting in the office crying because they weren’t first.

Oh I'm sure they've all got a place - The Sunday Times got to be first, someone else will get the prime slot of an interview the weekend of the airing (when publicity will be at its height), another one will probably have something to tie in to the launch of the world tour. I'm sure the Guardian just tells themselves that Peter loves them best and thus will give them his bestest interview ever.

In the meantime I just wanted to note what a day it's been seeing as we had no advance notice that this was going to be happening so it's all out of the blue have a big Peter interview with lots of lovely photos. I am quite exhausted by it.

A couple of days ago I discovered to my horror -- since they're kind of the point of the whole thing -- that a lot of my gifs were not animating on the webpage version of my blog, which is to say duckodeathreturns.tumblr.com. 

They worked on my dash, they worked when I reblogged the posts to my back-up Tumblr, they did NOT work on my own page.  ARGH! 

Because I use a different theme on my back-up Tumblr, I figured that was probably the issue, and indeed it was.  So after a lot of experimenting, I've found what I hope is a suitable replacement with a nice simple layout that seems to have solved the problem while also showing the ask button -- I don't understand why, but of my three major requirements that's the one that turned out to be the hardest to meet.

I've also installed Disqus which is something I'd never even heard of until about a week ago, but seems to be everywhere now and should make commenting on posts a lot easier.

Ever since I realized that the show return would close all the open ends and probably RUIN MY LIFE FOREVER!!!!1!!! I’m just as happy for it to be left as is. I’d rather not know Malc’s ultimate fate if those are the only options in Arm’s mind.

Agreed. Better no show than a show that confirms the worst for Malcolm. Then again I'm really not worrying Armando actually wants to do anything with the show for the foreseeable future.

The Bear probably creeped him the hell out. Have you seen the picture of Paddington that makes him look like the cousin of Frank the Rabbit? (For the voice though, Daniel Radcliffe. Not that he’d do it.)

This would not surprise me. Honestly these animatronic creatures never look right to me. Then again I never really hear Colin Firth and think Paddington so it always struck me as rather odd casting.
