Former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher yesterday returned to No 10 Downing Street for the official unveiling of her new portrait. The former prime minister is believed to be the first living politician to have her portrait hung in the official residence. Although photos of all modern prime ministers line the main staircase, only two 20th century premiers have paintings on display: David Lloyd George...
Sadly, it is not permanent. Unless an image of the likeness captures something of the spirit, and that spirit casts a presence of perpetual influence and greatness. But what is this greatness?

When ComingSoon.net recently spoke to him about his new movie Ninja Assassin which opens next Wednesday, November 25, we did broach the subject, and while he was non-committal about...
The death of Mary Tyler Moore master writer David Lloyd, and the announcement that the sixth season (with "Chuckles Bites The Dust") will be released on DVD, got me to wondering which season of the show is the best. This isn't an easy question to answer. Some shows have one season where everything comes together, that combine the best qualities of the early and later seasons, and where a...

Girl Number 9 was released at the end of October in the UK but I must admit to not noticing it, mainly because it's a web series and my experience of them aren't great, but there are a number of recognisable British television actors in here, and the writer of Severance writes and co-directs. There's Gareth David-Lloyd from Torchwood, Joe Absolom from Eastenders, and also Tracy-Ann Oberman from Eastenders,...
We don't cover a lot of web series material here on Twitch because, honestly, most of them just aren't very good. But there are exceptions. And recent UK series Girl Number 9 is one of them. A serial killer thriller scripted by James Moran - who the observant among you will recognize from his work on Severance , Doctor Who and Torchwood - and starring Torchwood 's Gareth David-Lloyd, it is available...

Granted, 'Inglourious...
My friend Jaime Weinman referred to the last spate of show business passings as “the war on celebrities,” and with the recent deaths of Edward Woodward, Paul Wendkos and David Lloyd it would appear that Death is not planning on taking a holiday soon. Ken Ober, the host of the popular MTV game show Remote Control , has left us at the age of 52 , expiring of yet-unknown causes. As a kid,...
Obituary: Scribe penned TV comedies 'Cheers,' 'Frasier' -- David Lloyd, a writer for classic TV comedies, died Tuesday of prostate cancer at his home in Beverly Hills. He was 75.
David Lloyd, who not only wrote some of the greatest single episodes in TV sitcom history [Chuckles the Clown youtube], but consistently wrote hilariously, has died at 75. I especially loved a lot of his work on Frasier. With the death of Larry Gelbart (best known for M*A*S*H, but also a writer for the original [...]
