Don't click that link unless you want Episode 4 ruined for you (Or you don't care)
Fuck me ragged! That's something certain to give the kiddies nightmares
The kiddies? I'm not expecting much sleep tonight.

I wouldn't worry, without depth perception it'll have trouble chasing after you. weave in and out of lampposts ought to confuse it for long enough.

A git of a spoiler indeed!

On the plus side the monster will never have much trouble getting invited to orgies.

Was trying to avoid this but accidentally stumbled on a description of it so thought "what the heck" and had a look at the pic ....... glad I did as I can get the laughter over and done with now instead of during the episode. I mean, come on, that looks bloody ridiculous!

Edit: Later ....... nope, sorry - trying as much as I can but I still can't look at that ridiculous thing without laughing at it. It IS a joke isn't it? Go on, someone tell me it's a joke, a late April Fool's for example .........

Russell the T gives a bit of an explanation for his justification in revealing the image within the RT article but the idea of "we can't turn down the Radio Times" smacks of laziness a bit. They could have just put sexy black Sec and the showgirl on to entice readers!

Given that Helen Raynor has written the forthcoming Daleks two-parter, I'm curious as to her writing credentials - does she have a history of writing good non-Who stories, or is this her first attempt at any TV episodes?

I see that James Strong is the director of both episodes (he also directed The Satan Pit two-parter in series 2) so at least we have a known good director at the helm.

She wrote episode 3 of Torchwood.

Was it any good?

For me it was one of the better ones. It was the Ghost Machine episode where they could see the past and the future.

That's promising.

Finally caught up on the first three. Shakespeare episode was bloody brilliant - fast (but steadily) paced, witty, well plotted, fit neatly in an episode. Other two were OK, although the third one dragged for most of its length.

A huge improvement over the last series (with the exception of Girl In The Fireplace - I might well be with HGFB on that being the best episode ever, it's certainly the stand-out from the first two series); most importantly, it's all about the Doctor again, and the companion isn't the star. Let's just hope it stays that way.
