  1. “Blink” indeed rocked, as did “Utopia”. But I wasn’t that impressed by “The Sound of Drums”, or specifically, by the take on its main villain. Just too crazy, sorry.
    However, I am pleased to see Captain Jack back. And Sally Sparrow would have made an excellent companion.

  2. last one this weekend. will so be watching it. seen them all. Rocking my world like heaps.
    Guessed what was going to appen tho. He so had to come back.

  3. With the scary angels right? I saw the end part and it cemented my belief that “Dr Who is too scary for Jenni”.
    It was really really scary. AND it tried to make me more scared of things that I don’t have to be scared of at the end there.
    Besides, the current Dr is Barty Crouch and has the eyes of insanity.

  4. John Simm was just a wee bit too OTT — even if he was portraying *********. If you watch the Confidential episode from “Utopia” he says he’s playing the role because he watches the show with his son. Isn’t that the lame reason *everybody* gives when they over-act in a family film or show?
    (Edited: Morgue, I submitted this as “buy viagra”. Why???)

  5. Jenni: well, it was rated “the most terrifying Dr Who episode ever”, though the scale only goes to five couches.
    The writer, Steven Moffat, also wrote the episode about the children with gas masks for faces, and the one about the robots wanting to steal the brain of Madam Pompadour (both Hugo nominated, BTW – as this one will be). He didn’t work on “Sapphire & Steel”, but he should.
    Currently, he’s doing a modern version of Jekyll & Hyde. Which looks quite good from the first episode.

    Oh why does no-one remember the giant maggots from “The Green Death”?

    Actually, I do. But I think the Weeping Angels beat them.

  10. Personally I thought the Angels were more effective before they opened their big teethy mouths. Then they got a bit monster-of-the-weeky.
    I was astounded to hear Julie Gardiner on the podcast say that the angels were actually performance artists in costumes. Apparently The Mill spent a bit of time stabilising them in places and making them more statue-esque (if you will).

  11. I know that it’s very geeky, but I considered making a “The angels stole my phone box” t-shirt 🙂

  12. Ah, but as Mr Ritchie notes, someone already has. On the plus side my t-shirt would have been without the silly picture.
