Whoever is mixing the music too loud needs a fucking slap.

The website has updated with an mp3 claiming to be a commentary. And the caption at the bottom seems to suggest that the BBC3 repeat tomorrow will have this commentary track. Probably via that ole red button. Nice idea.

Anyone spot the recycled scenery from Ep1 of last season? Them going down some rickity stairs that I'm pretty sure was the same stairs the big-plastic-auton beast was under.

It wouldn't be Dr.Who without dodgy recycled scenery.

Oh fuck, now I'm going to end up buying them all on DVD just so I can play 'spot the recycled scenery'.

Thought it was quite good... just a bit of light fun ..

I too spotted the recycled scenery from Rose.

Anyway I thought the Non Russel T Davis episodes from the first series where better so hopefully when hes not writing it will be better this time too .. but hey Im nick picking.. I enjoyed it and what the heck did the Face of Bo want to tell the Doc!

Also liked the way some of the fire doors still had all the yellow safety and danger stickers on them

Not up to the best of the 2005 series such as the 'The Empty Child', but definitely as good as some of the others like 'Rose' imo. I rather liked the cat nuns myself, and Billie's Cassandra makeover

Chris Ecclestone took a while to bed in i think, so David Tennant has every chance of getting finer with age as well.

I noticed, the other day, that the Church Times had a massive full-page cover picture of The Doctor and Rose. I eventually found the article it was referring to (somewhere in the region of 20 pages in) and it was all about how, despite the clearly atheistic leanings of the main cast and crew, the show itself maintained a very Christian message - all about avoiding violence and, you know, just generally being a nice guy and that.

Which, you could say, aren't so much specifically Christian ideals as they are just generally agreeable behaviour, but the point was that Jesus would approve.

Anyway, my point is, I thought "That's a bit of a tenuous way to link the media frenzy around Doctor Who to your little religious newspaper, isn't it?", and then I watched tonight's episode, and The Doctor starts going around curing all illnesses with the power of touch, and that.

etc.
