I have to agree with Rick and Jeffery. Good grief, that was bad! It was a live-action cartoon - but not as smart as most cartoons. I could barely watch it. The suspense was... Well, where was it? Humbug! Moffat is good at coming up with dinky ideas but I get the feeling he just can't knit...

This is superb news. For those interested, there are clips from the rediscovered eps circulating. I wish they'd been from better adventures but still, either one of these episodes is worth more to me than a dozen NuWhos. :)

Kevin, that's a long answer! :D Of New Who, Blink. I remember enjoying Dalek, School Reunion, The Girl in the Fireplace, Human Nature/The Family of Blood & Let's Kill Hitler. I've never rewatched any New Who so it would be interesting to see if my opinions have changed. Of Classic Who, this is...

I've not enjoyed much of this series but neither do I yearn for the bad old days of RTD. Both producers brought good and bad things to Who, imho. What irks me about New Who is the reverential "everyone loves the Doctor" crap. If it's not someone else telling us then it's someone reminding the...

I enjoyed the beginning and end of the episode, but it would have been so much stronger imo as a character study without the monster. I note that next week "stars" the execrable James Corden (apologies to his fans, but I can't stand him - c.f. his recent...

Nyssa the weakest?! Take that back! :-D I adored Nyssa.... yes, I was about 5 at the time, but she was miles better than Adric despite her being totally underused. Her strip-down on Terminus was more weird than anything else, but that was such a strange story anyway. If you include the...

I disagree with a lot of what Tony said! ;-) :-) Who companions have pretty much always been smart, independent characters. In the 60s, the first two (human) companions, Ian and Barbara, were teachers. Dr Who started off more as an educational show (focus on historicals), with monsters...
