Qui?
I have never been much into Doctor Who, although David Tennant (as one of the coolest guys on TV) is in real danger of winning me to the cause.
And tonight’s episode on the BBC was a real stunner. Tense, clever, neat… It was nigh on perfect as mild SF/horror TV. The baddies were properly menacing, in a kind of inverted Bugblatter Beast of Traal-way: harmless when you look at them, nasty when you don’t. And according to the currently-playing behind-the-scenes show, they were done with guys in makeup - even though they never move on-screen. Which would be how they managed the menacing not-just-a-mockup feel.
Clever.

Strange, myself and Sharon have been [i]suffering[/i] the exact same problem with Doctor Who lately. David Tennant is unfortunately charismatic and intent on taking up an hour of my Saturday nights in.

I will now take brother’s naming convention.
And David Tennant is awesome, but then again I always did have a softspot for Who when a toddler. And the Chris Eccleston stuff was good too.
Angie is fond of the Barrowman.

I think it’s great… I never watched it when I was small but I’m totally hooked - my flatmates despair especially as I insist on silence when it’s playing!!

I will get a "life" when it is demonstrably better than what I have now.

And the reviews on this "life" thing are fairly negative anyway… Metacritic shows it hover around 70%…
