Seconded.

Martha is still eye candy, but (not her fault) the constant pining for teh Dorctor is SO FUCKING GRATING. Save the world, you mad bint, and stop being all gooey. Rose was never like that, no, she was a real good girl.

But Sally...........

I did a Google search for "Sally Sparrow wet" - it was dissapointing, actually

Fools! The correct answer is, of course, to keep Martha but add Sally as well.

For extra bonus points Martha would indeed stop pining for the Doctor - but only because her and Sally start something instead....

...I'll be in ma bunk.

Yep. That's the frame I had on pause for about an hour the other day. I've watched Blink four times now, and have enjoyed it just as much as the first time, even though I know what's coming. Rapidly climbing to my Top Five Best DW Episodes Ever, that one.

Ironic, given that he's not in it much. But then, this wouldn't be anything like as good if it was a one-off time-travel-horror-paradox-story with anyone else in the time-traveller role. It works because it's The Doctor, and because he's a hard bastard sometimes, and because with that in mind if he says "Don't blink" or Something Very Bad Will Happen if you do, I'm gonna believe him.

Where's the best place to grab the HD version of Blink then?

Other episodes I've got in the past have always said they're HD, but when I view them they look like the usual poor quality avi files.

Doctor Who isn't recorded in HD. I don't even think they broadcast it on the BBC HD channel do they?

Really?! If true, that is shocking in this day and age. I can understand that most people don't have HD receiving equipment right now, but with HD DVD / Bluray sales on the increase and services from Virgin, Sky and eventually HD Freeview (please?!) surely this is a bad move for the long term...

They said it would make the FX costs too high so they couldn't do it. Torchwood S2 might be getting shot in HD though.

Personally I'm amazed the BBC don't stump up the cash for HD shooting. If nothing else it would make the show more saleable in the US.
