Ah well, at least it wasn't set in the East end of "Lahndahn" again...

It was allegedly, set in "New New York", yet remarkably 5 billion years into the future everyone there speaks without any kind of Americanised accent and they sound all Plumby-Brit.

I was kind of hoping to see the Futurama characters somewhere in the background...

EDIT:
And how did Cassandra know what a "chav" was? Are they still around in 5 billion years?

Every time it does any pop culture at all it makes me cringe. By far the most annoying aspect of the last series.

NNY was set on a colonised planet outside the solar system.

Are you suprised that New Yorkers don't sound like they're from York?

Well actually, it was New, New, New, New [fill the gap y'selves] York so the odds are they weren't speaking English of any variety and the TARDIS was translating. =-)

You lot make me laugh

It's Saturday evening family entertainment, made accessible to children.
Not Philip K. Dick.

You'll be telling me Red Dwarf is all about the sci-fi next...

Lighten up people

I liked it. It cheered me up and made a perfect accompaniment to garlic mushroom pizza, garlic bread, tea and friends.

I think that some people are taking this all a bit too seriously

Perhaps, or maybe it's just a case of us all having different tastes and expectations.

Given that RTD has also written the next episode (Tooth and Claw) I thoroughly hope that I find it at least 1000 times more enjoyable than New Earth .....

... which, to be honest, shouldn't be difficult .........

... I hope.

Of course.... although I had to sit with my eyes shut and fingers in my eyes so not to see the spoiler, eh sorry, trailer for next week... failed miserably though!

I always avoid the trailers so that was just a wild guess on my part.
