Who Season 3- First Impressions

[poliphilo]

Rhino-headed space cops on the moon- that's what I pay my licence fee for. 

Elderly, female soap stars playing vampiric super-villains- ditto.

Who's this Saxon bloke? I take it he's this season's Bad Wolf.

I never did understand that Bad Wolf stuff. Far too complicated for me.

I do love David Tennant. The way he keeps channeling Kenneth Williams. He's mercurial- the way David Troughton was. And Troughton was always my favourite.

I want Freema to match Billie- but Billie is the most charismatic, interesting, engaging/annoying actress to come along in yonks. She's going to be such a hard act to follow.

Might you mean *Patrick* Troughton? I got to meet him and Colin (not Tom) Baker at a Dr.Who con in Minneapolis in the '80's. Very sweet, both of them. I remember thinking that Troughton looked tired. I think he died not long after that.

I love the old shows.

Yes, Patrick Troughton.

He was a big star of TV drama when I was a kid. I remember him not only as the Doctor, but as St Paul in a dramatization of the Acts of the Apostles and Quilp in the Old Curiosity Shop and Israel Hands in Treasure Island.

How lovely to have met him.
