Me too, he had a superb personality on-screen. Just the perfect mix of twinkly-eyed intelligence, mischief, humour mystery and chaos.

I struggled with the last episode, for several reasons.

a) Mickey from Hustle, couldn't see him as anything else, it was a very close character (particularly with the to camera speaking), and I kept waiting for him to pull the con, which I guess he failed at with Jackie.

b) Where was the Doctor? I love watching the Doctor unfold the plot, and that he was only there for about five minutes really disapointed me. I kept waiting for the Doctor, and when he finally did arrive it was to let Rose have a go and then make a paving slab into a half-girl.

c) We could hear the screams outside the building but they couldn't? For something like that the scream would have been better during a pull out shot, and not one with all the characters in.

Overall, I just couldn't get into it. It's the first episode out of the new series' that I've been disapointed with, and actually don't want to ever see again. When Zath comes home and wants to watch it, he shall be watching it on his own...

It was OK. But it wasn't really Doctor Who. Like I said after last week, if I've a criticism this series it's there's not enough of the Doctor and this episode was therefore pretty much the last thing I needed

Perhaps they think he's such a smart alec know-it-all that he's only palatable in small doses?

Just saying s'all

* Disclaimer: I like this Doctor, but I am beginning to wish they'd got another series out of Eccleston before switching to Tennant.

Missing presumed dead the first time the Doctor blew the fuck out of Gallifrey. She was badass as the War Queen of Gallifrey though.
Did she come back from E-space, then?

Eh? Eh? Did she?

My mum went to school with Lalla Ward. And I'm 35 so you do the maths...

Wonder what happened to K-9 mk. 2?

Me too (MrsB has 18 years on me), but not everyone wants to go there.

Anyway, back to Dr Who...

Funny how we have another London episode this week. And I would imagine mostof the next two as well.

According to Big Finish (she reprises her role as Romana), K9 II is with her and K9 I is still with Leela. They teamed up for the "Gallifrey" series. I recommend it, it's very political and intelligent.

On a slightly different note, who wants to see an army of daleks?

Wow, Romana and Leela and K9 and another K9!

Where do you get these Big Finish CDs from? Amazon don't seem to stock them, and I don't remember having seen any in shops.
