( Spoilers for Doctor Who 6x13 The Wedding of River Song )

David Tennant's going to be in the Sarah-Jane Adventures, and RTD's very enthusiastic about itSeriously, please don't be crap. There seems to be an inverse relationship to how enthusiastically the BBC advertise something and how good it is, DW-wise. SJA has pretty much managed to be the best of the bunch so far ( Read more... )

Being at the parents' home, with a real telly, really made me appreciate just how much the Beeb advertise this thing to death. Also RTD seems to have latched onto "romp" as The Word of the Day, and was repeating it, rolling his r's, as much as humanly possible in every interview. And it was hilarious, because it became the only word I heard.

Doctor Who, this week has been nominated for two Hugos (Silence in the Library/Forest of the Dead [Steven Moffat] and Turn Left [RTD]) at which point you've got to wonder why they don't just call the category the Steven Moffat/Doctor Who Award (he's written four stories, been nominated four times and won three so far ( Read more... )

This is probably the fic that nearly wasn't.  Thanks to blackbird_song , not only for a stellar beta, but also for remembering it long after I'd forgotten it.

Just sayin'

The Grand general Rule Of Television is that spin offs are generally worse than the original, right?  And this goes double for "ooh.. let's turn it into a kids show"

Sarah Jane Adventures, why are you so good?  You're full of fifteen ( Read more... )

But first, why, oh, why must mothers pick up on the three seconds their offspring is on television in the background (went to a Prom that was on BBC4) and repeatedly show said offspring the three second clip over and over.  "Look, [caladria], it's you!  That blurry thing behind the solo violinist!"

Equally, why do people insist that Ten is an angry ( Read more... )

It always amuses me when I come home from uni. Because Doctor Who is The Family Programme. Parents sit down with their kids and the entire family hides behind the sofa! Because, yeah, actually, we do. Even my mum loves Doctor Who and she hates sci-fi. Doctor Who doesn't count as sci-fi apparently, because it's funny. But we do sit and watch it as a ( Read more... )

Stephen, I love you, but you make me cry.

Moffatt, obviously. He makes me think, I can't guess his twists and plots, he makes me cry, he creates characters that I love, he makes me laugh and he's clever, clever, clever. He might be married, but his brain isn't, right?

Also, the Ark Royal's in town (well, not actually in town, but docked up in front ( Read more... )
