Very nice sketch at the end of Dead Ringers tonight, featuring Mr Tennant himself (who is currently on The Graham Norton Show discussing the farting contests that take place within the TARDIS).

Er... all bets are off?

I hadn't realised, by the way, how popular John Barrowman was. I mean, I knew Captain Jack was a popular character, but boy, did he get a cheer...

Unfortunately not, it seems. It is, however, torrentable from http://www.isohunt.com/download/18387195/doctor+who.

Although Freema has been quoted about the difficulties the writers must have had creating something that could stand being watched as 3Â½ minute episodes and in one lump. So maybe a DVD release is on the cards.

Less than four hours to go. Tingly feeling all over.

Actually, that was really enjoyable... definitely outclasses Rose and New Earth for series openers by a country mile.

Lets hope they keep this up!
