Damn. It took a week but both Jed and I lost the bet. We thought Arron would be the first one to compare him to Delgado.
As Simm explained in the last Confidential, the way the Master(Simm) acted is all down to RTD, including the dancing about and grinning and that, so the blame's with RTD, not Mr Simm.
I will never like Tennant's Doctor, but the last few episodes have been great or nearly great despite. The Last Of The Time Lords was utter bollocks, though. A massive disappointment all round - some good ideas, but must try harder. I can't believe the bonfire bit; I mean, can anyone take that seriously after Spaced? And the Doctor in tears recalling the Daleks and the Axons like they were the good old days was just a terrible idea, and inconsisent with his character, not to mention what was happening in the story around him. The Master might once have been the Doctor's friend, but he is a Very Bad Man. The Doctor doesn't even like the Time Lords, for feck's sake - he spent most of the time trying to escape from them and deny that he is one. RTD keeps getting the Doctor confused with a) Jesus and b) Dick Van Dyke.
Quite apart from anything else, Martha and Jack are far better than the Doctor and they've gone now. Guh.
Oh, and it was ridiculous the way that Jack said 'PS I'm the Face of Boe - bye'.
Tiemcock indeed.

Judging the words of Stephen Moffat in the current Doctor Who Magazine Sally Sparrow won't be back as a companion.
Stephen Moffat wrote:In the original draft of Blink, Sally was pregnant at the end, but I took that out for the final draft, cos it was just more satisfying for Sally finally to notice Larry when she lets go of the Doctor. It gave her an arc, allowed us to see her decide not to become a companion. A theme of this revived show is who does and who does not climb aboard the TARDIS. I don't know if that was Russell's plan, but it's really emerged as a strand. A good one, I think.
Boy: "Have you met monsters before?" The Doctor: "Yes."
Boy: "Are you scared of them?" The Doctor: "No, they are scared of me!"

Series 3 has been overall of very high quality IMO - certainly the best series of New Who.
One thing I did wonder about - who is the son that the scientist woman asked the computer thingy about?
It was her (Professor Docherty's) son who had obviously been taken into custody, so the Government/Saxon had a lever to make her do what they wanted... of course, that played straight into Martha's hands...
A fairly uneven episode - a shame, after the relatively high-quality stuff of late.
Some of the stuff was superb - turning the Master's satellite signal against him was classic. Other things, such as Gollum rated a WTF exclaimation, only to be easily surpassed by the floating-jesus-christ bit - which was then lapped by the Doctor's words to the Master. Especially in light of the Master's reaction - talk about water off a duck's back...
The grand finale was a bit weak too, with Jack's revelation coming across as ludicrious, more than anything else. Martha's departure was fine, until she decided to come back one last word. The final "Master" scene was classic though - a post-hypnotic suggestion, perchance?
