And wait, it gets worse. As if the scheme wasn't already unsettling enough, according to news reports, "children's voices are to be used initially to make the encounter less confrontational".

Fit what? What on earth was wrong with the explanation for the voodoo doll?

How does a "DNA replication module" let you remote control people then?
He might as well have said "You call it magic, I call it a form of cold fusion".
Random sciency words.

Also its only realistic there is all sorts of technology over our level of understanding, but its nice in a sci-fi it builds up a "universe" surrounding its own technologys and rules.
Hence I thought it would be neat at least too tie back to the Blood-tech.
Why tie back to a story over a year ago? The doll *wasn't* the tech the Sycorax used. Who would he explain it to? the Witch already knew what it was and Martha was unconcious.

Remote controlling people with a sample of their DNA
Remote controlling people with their blood.

Sorry, seemed like a potential connection,imo.

Also, you seem very missing the point.
He did try too explain it casually, but what came out was just meaningless technobable.

You act like I want some big speach with it explained in detail, I have made clear enough I dont.

Why tie back to a story over a year ago?

Because its part of the universe? Is the memory of the audience not expected too be that long?
It was just a simple idea, thats all.

What a brilliant site that one is, a whole site dedicated to the Dr. Who Theme. Good Stuff.

Fantastic

The theme tune is shit! They ruinised it. The whole intro looks like it was made on some fan-boy's A1200 in about 1997.

Even a bad Dr Who tune is a fantasic tune

But still, I don't think its that bad at all.
A bit too chearfull, perhaps.

Does anyone know anywhere where you can get hold of those samples outside of the Flash thing? I'd love to have a mess with them in an actual sequencer.

Just watched it.
2 on 2 great eps so far, I really hope it will keep the quality up.

Tennant must have done his homework and he also seems to have reduced his dose of cocaine. Nice.

It's AI figure time

Saturdays showing of Episode two achieved an Appreciation Index score of 87.

This once more places the programme in the excellent category, the average score for drama on BBC1 and ITV1 is 77.

Doctor Who was the most appreciated programme of the weekend and got the second highest figure for the week, only being beaten by Life on Mars with 88.

In the Multi channel figures, where programmes tend to get higher appreciation figures, the April fools day repeat of Smith and Jones scored an exceptional 90 and the Friday repeat 89

Saturdays Confidential scored 85.

The Appreciation Index, or AI, is a measure of how much the audience liked the programme. It is a score out of 100, based on responses from a carefully selected panel. The average score for drama on BBC1 and ITV1 is 77. A score in excess of 85 is regarded as excellent while a score below 60 is poor.

Did I ever mention I utterly dispise football?

The new edition of Radio Times out today confirms that Gridlock - episode three of Series Three - will be shown on April 21 rather than April 14 if the FA Cup semi-final between Manchester United and Watford, which precedes it, goes into extra time/penalties, as reported by Outpost Gallifrey on April 7.

How this would affect subsequent episodes is unknown. According to the "Next week in RT" banner at the back of the new edition of the listings magazine, Radio Times is planning a cover story for its edition dated 21-27 April to coincide with the start of the Dalek two-parter, which had been scheduled to go out on April 21 and 28.

But what exactly are they supposed to do here? The BBC has a public remit to show a certain amount of live sport, they're accountable to the government on that issue.

And no matter how much you like Who, the FA Cup semi will be a far larger audience.

Still, chances of it being anything other than a Man U walkover are pretty slim...

It's not actually the Football that's the problem in this case. It's the dire "Any dream will do" which being live can't be cancelled and moved to next week.

Whenever they fuck with the Who timeslot the ratings take a hit. This week if it's on schedule will be at 19:40. My suggestion would be to move the fucking thing to another day of the week.

I think it's fairly safe to assume that this is one match that won't go to extra time.

Buit if football didn't exist, then the BBC wouldn't have the problem.
