Dr Who. II.i

Chris Ecclestone was tremendous. The best actor ever to play the role. I miss him.

I admire David Tennant. I thought he was fantabulous in Casanova. He's as good an actor as Ecclestone, but very different. I haven't adjusted yet.

I still say these episodes are too fast. The Big Bad is no sooner established than it's shot down in flames. I'd like to see more time allowed for world-building. More time for the very fine actors they've engaged to just mooch about and be touching and witty.

More time for suspense.

I understand the Beeb are prepared to offer Billie Piper all the Kingdoms of the Earth to stay on board.

As well they might!

I shall have to go back and check, but I wondered whether the concrete ground in the opening scene didn't have "BAD WOLF" erased from it, the way you can see where graffiti has been removed.

Ooh, that would be neat! As though, now that the messages Rose left herself have served their purpose, they are subject once again to the normal buffeting of life. Placed there originally by supernatural means, they have become ordinary again, and can be gradually discarded or erased by the people who live around them. Cool.

If it's there it would be a very nice touch.
