The Doctor and His Cane

Oh, but this is beautiful. Thank you, BBC, for providing me with eye-candy fantasy fodder:
Now you can buy a book of the best entries from "The Spanking Writers".

Thank you for finding my new PC background, a picture I will never tire of seeing and letting my imagination run away with
Here’s a bigger version for you
Hee!
I was just about to blog about the episode, then realized I should check here first and I’m so glad I did. Lovely picture — aside from everything else (the Doctor, the cane, the schoolmaster garb) — the noir shadowing is beautifully sinister. So great.
The episode also didn’t disappoint in terms of content — I loved seeing the boys in their uniforms and Martha in hers. And the realization that this was indeed a cane the Doctor was holding and not a pointer… mmm.
Not to mention the older boy asking permission to beat the younger — and getting it.
Where is that from again? I imagine how much that skinny long cane would hurt *shudders*
The image is from the BBC. It’s from the most recent episode of the newest season of Doctor Who. The cane is only used as a pointer on camera, though there’s a pretty clear indication of its use on poor little Tim by another student.
It probably won’t be shown in the States for another few months, but thanks to the wonders of Torrent, my husband makes sure we get to watch each the night it gets broadcast.
I just watched the episode this evening and am bouncing up and down with excitement. It was so good, and despite knowing that the time was running out and the cliffhanger was coming, was *willing* the show to keep going! Alas, it didn’t work.
Saw the picture here yesterday though, which got me very excited. Thank you so much for the heads up and isn’t it a wonderful shot!
By the way, about young Latimer being beaten after Mr Smith gave permission - the next time we saw him he was sitting on a bench and seemed pretty comfy. D’you think his backside’s made of steel? I can’t imagine the older boys giving him anything less than a very thorough thrashing…
Spankable - strangely enough I commented on the exact same thing when I saw the episode last night. I’m sure the bench young Latimer was sitting on should have caused him at least some discomfort.
And did they have refer to a ‘Jenkins’ during the episode? For a horrid moment, I thought *I* was in trouble. Well, perhaps it was a prediction for later in the evening….

I see. Well, too bad I don’t have the TV.
Spankable - I believe, ‘bouncing’ just about describes my reaction too.
I’ve also downloaded the episode just to watch the key dialogue over, and over and over:
Prefect: “Permission to give Latimer a beating, sir.”
Headmaster: “Your class, Mr Smith.”
The Doctor aka Mr Smith (nonchallantly): “Permission granted.”
Haron: Aaaaaaah! (melts into a puddle and rewinds).
Simon - I haven’t noticed the Jenkins bit, but closer scrutiny may reveal it!
Amber - you don’t need a TV, you can download it with Bit Torrent.
Where did you find torrent for this episode, Mija? I’ve searched but can’t find!
