Find two month old copy of Doctor Who Magazine. Russell T Davies’ column has a lot in it
about the fun he and David Tennant had on the set of Casanova, doing Doctor Who
in jokes. Was the writing already on the
wall?
Watch The End of the World. This is really good. It’s a bit rushed – they could have stretched
it to two parts easily, but the effects are great. And we get to see the fabled Moxx of Balhoon,
if not for long.
Watch live version of Quatermass. After a few minutes, husband remarks that David
Tennant is supposed to be in it, but he hasn’t seen him yet. “No,” I reply, “I think he’s playing the
doctor….”
Watch double bill of Enterprise . O
look, the planet Earth is being destroyed.
Again. But Doctor Who’s exploding planet effect was better!
Watch BBC3 repeat to make sure.
Yes. Definitely more impressive.
Doctor
Who still ahead of Ant and Dec. Keep up the good work.
Russell T Davies has said that
Christopher Eccleston was never going to do more than one series. The end of the final episode was apparently
meant to be a big surprise. This doesn’t
surprise me much (see 2 April above) but how on earth can they have imagined
they were going to keep that secret?
Watch The Unquiet Dead. Aaarrgghhh! It’s actually frightening. Some of the lame jokes could usefully have
been edited out though -“happy medium”, indeed!
Oh dear! Nice spaceship crash, shame about the pig and
the farting aliens. Jackie Tyler’s
reaction to the Doctor was quite amusing though.
Definitely better than last
week. I can’t believe they were allowed
to get away with the ‘massive weapons of destruction’ line this close to an
election though. Presumably no one in
politics (except Tim Collins?) is expected to watch it.
On the subject of politics, off to
the West Midlands to assist friend’s doomed
campaign. Am horrified to discover that her children haven’t watched Doctor Who yet. What sort of parent is she?
The one with the Dalek. Apparently we are supposed to feel sorry for
the Dalek at the end. I don’t. I’m too busy wondering when they decided that
Dalek mutants were now to be a fetching pinky-mauve instead of green.
