Dr Who: School Reunion.

[poliphilo]

I was tearing up at the end. The Doctor has an inner life and we were glimpsing it.

He's also a bit of a bastard; He loves 'em and leaves 'em. One of the great things about the Doctor- from Hartnell on- is that he's never been blandly heroic.

This was the best episode of the second season (thus far).

I still feel the episodes are too short. The bad guys aren't given long enough to establish themselves.

Tony Head's performance made me want to see him as Count Dracula. What a fine actor he is! "Pitch perfect" said the director.

I'm getting accustomed to David Tennant.

I feel like Rose does about Mickey: does he really have to come along?

We haven't had the latest Doctor yet, but I can't wait. I thought the first series of the Doctor revival was a cracker.

There's something special about Dr Who.

The Star Trek franchise has long since lost its pep, but Dr Who keeps getting these re-energising jump starts.

There were a surprising number of socio-political jabs in that last series... the days of shaky cardboard sets are certainly long gone.

Series II, episode II contains some delightful digs at the Royal Family

Goody!

There was recently screened here a so called documentary in which the talentless, ludicrous and jaw-droppingly sycophantic Rolf Harris blathered on to Her Maj and we, the viewers as he painted her portrait, ( a pseudo impessionist mess). It was called "Rolf Meets The Queen", or some such original title.

The next day, the very clever & funny satirical comedy team here, called "the Chasers" screened another doco called "Christo meets the Queen" in which Her Maj, the throne and even a corgi were neatly, tightly wrapped in white paper despite their frantic struggles. It was a real antidote.
