Farscape did it quite well, but cant remember any other sci-fi's with good romantic storys. Generally it all seems too forced.

Babylon 5 did this rather well, I think - but as something secondary to the more significant story arcs. Doctor Who, with much less in the way of significant story arcs, would have more difficulty.

Also - that episode was ace. Best so far this series I think.

Do keep up.

Yup, thoroughly enjoyed tonight, much better than last week.

Jessica looked rather fetching too.

Winkies can be silent you know. There's another one at the end of this post.

Those who have read the book know that your fear is unfounded.

I suspect that whatever the resolution is Darkflame won't be satisfied. Perhaps he'll tell us how Farscape would have handled the situation better

I thought for a moment that the car at the beginning of the episode was "Bessie" and we might see a white-haired gentleman emerging from it and that the Brigadier was going to pop up at some point.

The 7th Doctor was much more badass.

I liked the appearance of the 8th Doctor in the notebook too, that was ace

Am I the only one who thinks that a Four Doctors with Tennant, Ecclestone, McGann and McCoy would be utterly ace?

I really enjoyed that for the reason it wasn't normal Doctor Who, it was all creepy and mysterious and the kid who nicked the watch is gonna have to do something now to help me thinks heh...

We've had the amnesia stories across many shows before, but rarely deliberate memory loss. Made things far more intriguing, just knowing that Martha is the only one who knows what's going on...

You most certainly are not. I relish the thought despite thinking it unlikely. Eccleston, I fear, might be the least willing to appear.

Cue complaints of the episode not having enough of the Doctor in it.

What happened to all the foreigners singing awful songs this week? I thought it was a musical three parter not having seen last weeks, so I've no idea what the cliffhanger was. I was looking forward to seeing which one had scored no points at all.

Instead they seemed to have cancelled it in favour of a less funny version of "Ripping Yarns - Tomkin's Schooldays" without Michael Palin or Terry Jones. I suppose on the plus side, there was no Doctor Who..not that I'm complaining..
