Some Royal recognition for Who-ish people

[diankra]

As widely reported, John Hurt has got a New Year knighthood (I'd guess Tennant will get one before he turns 60. Tom might just get one sometime soon). Sheridan Smith and James Corden, both sort-of companions, have got OBEs (or, as the Goon Show and ISIRTA used to call them, Other B-swearword Efforts!).
Kristin Scott Thomas and Joan Collins have both become Dames. Suspect Mission Impossible didn't really count towards the first of these...

I remember the grumbling that occurred on my Tom Baker forum when Patrick Stewart was knighted...

I'd have nominated John Hurt for I, Claudius alone. Of course I've seen him in other shows and movies, and he's usually excellent.

Now there is one series worthy of a binge re-watch. Caligula was one disturbing fellow.

Yeah, when someone's coughing is annoying me, I think of Caligula's solution.

^ Caligula didn't need that for an excuse. He would have killed Gemellus anyway.
