Sophia (pronounced to rhyme with "hairdryer" apparently) Myles seems to be a big fan of sci-fan. Obviously, she's dating the Doctor, himself, after meeting him while filming an episode of Doctor Who. But she's all set to appear in a new adaptation of Dracula for BBC1, that will also feature Marc Warren (State of Play, Hustle, and, you guessed it, Doctor Who).
Dracula won't be her first vampire effort though, since she appeared, to slinky effect, as a vampire in Underworld. She was also Lady Penelope in the movie Thunderbirds. So I have a quick question.
What is it with posh blonde women and sci-fi?
There's that Susannah Harker of Pride and Prejudice, confessing that her deep love of sci-fi made her take on vampire drama Ultraviolet as well as the role of Sapphire in the audio Sapphire and Steel stories. They're all over the place, I tell you.
I know it's by no means a conclusive trend, and I know posh blonde women who hate SF, but apparently there's a lot of them who secretly loves it. Including my wife (who'll claim she isn't posh, but we all know she is really). What's up with the world?

Damn. I'm not blonde. But I do love my sci-fi (far more than the boy Cloud does).

Damn? In what sense? I'm not saying you have to be blonde to like sci-fi. Just saying it seems to help, these days, for some reason. Wasn't like that when I was growing up, I can tell you...
But are you admitting to being posh then? ;-)

Ha ha! Umm. I don't think under any circs could I be said to be posh. Educated (for whatever that means) but not posh.
And I suppose the damn is that, well, these POSH BLONDE women not only like sci-fi they get to be IN the shows.
I suppose it might help if I could act my way out of a paper bag...

There are posh blonde women in certain sci-fi shows who would remain within the paper bag for days at a time, so I don't think that would be a problem. Carpe diem!

A BBC adaptation of Dracula with Marc Warren and Sophia Myles? Nothing for me to get excited about there then..!
