I’m very very excited to share this (the DT portrait is one of the best I’ve ever made, if I can say so myself! Pity downsizing everything causes loss of details!)
I hope you like it!

Alice May: “Alice Through the Looking-Glass” (1973 BBC TV film)
Here we find another rare stand-alone adaptation of Through the Looking-Glass, this time produced by the BBC. It stars 11-year-old Sarah Sutton (later known as Nyssa from Doctor Who), who at the time was the youngest actress ever to have played Alice onscreen, although Natalie Gregory andKristýna Kohoutová have surpassed her since then.
This is probably the most meticulously faithful version of Through the Looking-Glass ever filmed. Almost every episode from the book is included – only the Wood with No Names and the White Knight’s battle with the Red Knight are cut– and almost all the dialogue is straight from Carroll. All of Looking-Glass Land is blue-screened against illustrated backdrops drawn in the style of John Tenniel, and most of the costumes replicate Tenniel’s illustrations too. “The Walrus and the Carpenter,” “Jabberwocky,” “The Aged, Aged Man,” and Humpty Dumpty’s fish poem are all featured (the former three with visuals, the last without), as is the epigraph poem “A Boat Beneath a Sunny Sky” at the end of the closing credits.
As a whole, I feel the same way about this Through the Looking-Glass that I do about the BBC’s 1986 Alice in Wonderlandminiseries. Both are fairly subdued in tone and not especially memorable compared to other versions, but they’re still enjoyable both for their sheer faithfulness to Carroll and for the strong performances from their actors. Sarah Sutton’s Alice is slightly wooden, but likable all the same, and Looking-Glass Land’s inhabitants are all perfectly cast.
If like me, you think Through the Looking-Glass deserves to be adapted more often, then this version is a must-see.

’ .
Sophia Wallace is convinced her life is over when her high school cuts the journalism program. Without the elective, she loses her chance to intern with the biggest newspaper company in the county, and why? All because the baseball team needs more funding.
To make matters worse, her boyfriend publicly dumps her at a party, which is mortifying. But the icing on the cake is when the captain of the baseball team and the most popular guy at Bayview High, Walsh Hunter, decides to be chivalrous. He jumps in, throws his arm around Sophia, and declares his undying love for her. In front of everyone.
Suddenly, Sophia is thrown into a world of fake relationships and undercover journalism, and she realizes she’s way, way out of her league.
Good thing she’s got the team captain to teach her how to play.
But faced with choosing between saving her journalism class or her newfound feelings for Walsh, will she strike out or hit a home run?
