Quiet woman!

Watched Amy's Choice on Friday and it was pretty good with lots of set pieces which hark back to the Celestial Toymaker from the early days of the show in the 1960s.

Not seen The Hungry Earth yet but it's repeated tonight at 8pm on BBC3.

Also booked tickets for the live show in October, a great day out for the lads!

Re: dr who...
 
well i watched it, it didnt seem up to much but then again it is a 2 parter so we'll see what the rest of the episode is like


Mossy....HUSH CHILD

Re: dr who...
 
The slowest start to a two-parter we've had since 2005 but still not a disappointment although the..monsters...were rubbish.

Re: dr who...
 
I agree 2nd part better improve!

The new writing style suits matt smith's eccentric way of playing the doctor but I just feel it is not as sharp and as clever as Russell T

Possibly, but we're getting much less of the Doctor as a sex object wherever the TARDIS lands which suits me fine. We managed 42 years without it!

Re: dr who...
 
Having been working away for a week I've had two episodes to catch up on and have now seen them both.

I'm still disappointed with the look of the new Silurians but Cold Blood was very in keeping with what we already know about them and the closing scenes with the TARDIS fragment in the crack have got me hooked for the finale.

Vincent and the Doctor was more of a gentle episode and an examination of a historical character that we've never had before in any medium. I wasn't blown away by it but I'll admit to welling up when Dr Black was giving his summation of Van Gogh's work in the museum. Nice stuff.

Loved this weeks episode, great comedy value especially adding James Corden into the mix.

It made more of a light hearted episode even if upstairs was a bit sinister lol

Ken Moss 14-06-2010 06:13

Re: dr who...
 
Not seen it yet as the BBC moved it around the schedules for me AGAIN on both Saturday and Sunday so will wait till Friday on BBC3 but I've heard good reports.

One of my mates said that it was how Love and Monsters should have been.

Re: dr who...
 
Leave `Love & Monsters` alone.........it was great

Ken Moss 14-06-2010 09:06

Re: dr who...
 
It was absolutely dire!

It's something of a Marmite episode but I think it's obvious which side of the fence I'm sitting on. The only good thing about it was a pretty thinly veiled attack on Ian Levine....

emamum 14-06-2010 10:42

Re: dr who...
 
i nearly turned it off halfway through... it was a little too cringeworthy for me.. good idea but i do think the dr was made to be too wierd

pipinfort 21-06-2010 15:49

Re: dr who...
 
So.....................`The Pandorica Opens`................what a load of old guff...i think this has been the weakest season of `New Who` so far but the first part of the season finale was more suited to an episode of `The Sarah Jane Adventures` ( which i do like) , I`ve grown to like Matt Smiths Dr but the style of writing just seems poor.....which is a shame, roll on the end next week and hopefully we will get a stronger episode...........

flashy 21-06-2010 16:10

Re: dr who...
 
to be honest pipples, i actually thought that last weeks episode was the last because of how it ended, it wasn't until Anthony told me that it was a two-parter that i realised that that wasn't the end (i blame my blonde hair)

The Big Bang represents a good shift in Doctor Who production for me, less reliance on an army of Daleks invading Earth every thirteen episodes or resurrecting old companions and more on weaving story threads together. No Rose Tyler either, thankfully.

I'm loving Matt Smith as the new Doctor and hope we get a couple more seasons before he leaves the bow tie behind.

Alas, he bowed out a couple of seasons ago although his assistant Sarah Jane is still going strong after 38 years. That's some staying power.

That's good to hear.

Though those platform boots must be a bit of a killer, now she's in her sixties.

It was thought in some circles that she might be more of a comfortable shoes type of girl nowadays but then she had a go at getting married which put her back in the high heels.

For a woman in her sixties, she looks mighty fine.

I see that the BBC are starting to shoot their Dr Who Xmas special which will be based on Dickens's A Christmas Carol. It will star - other than the usual cast - Katherine Jenkins who most of you are aware is the opera star who looks like she should really be in a Califonia hard core porn movie. Also in there is Michael Gambon - old Dumbledore himself! I guess given the theme of the show it is not too hard to work out what part he'll be playing. It all seems rather weird..singing tarts, ghosts and monsters in dustbins or whereever.

I suspect I'll be sticking to my goose.

The programme is in safe hands with Steven Moffatt, I wouldn't worry.

It seems to have become BBC policy to release statements to the press about Doctor Who which are likely to incense long-time fans. It'll end up being just as enjoyable as every other episode.

I see that season 32 is due to be split into two halves:

Katherine Jenkins: the first opera singin ' porn star - sounds good!

But isn't this the last Dr Who there'll ever be? I heard the myth was there would only be 11 of them and this current actor is the 11th!

There are 13 altogether.

I'm hoping the series goes the distance and we get all 13, although if they contrive some way of keeping it going or start all this 'Son of Doctor Who' crap then I'll be bitterly disappointed.

For any other trivia buffs out there, it's referenced in the Fifth Doctor adventure Mawdryn Undead and the Eighth Doctor's first story (the television movie or sometimes The Enemy Within).

Saw it on Friday night, a truly excellent show with plenty of nods to the past which will give long term fans a warm glow. The show itself is actually a sequel to the Third Doctor adventure Carnival of Monsters.

The tickets are expensive and don't even think about merchandise (the programmes are a tenner) but it's a once in a lifetime experience and Matt Smith's involvement is very cleverly done.

We saw it yesterday and i must admit it WAS very good , i pity the people with main floor seats, my kids would have been scared stiff with all those monsters running about........!!!! those Smilers got way too close for my little `un.....although i must say i would have loved to have been scanned by a Judoon..................
