I was surprised how faithful it was to the old one, really. Whatever's left of it, that is. And how many stories can boast a character called Fullalove? I'm just saying. I half expected him to start snogging Mark Gatiss in that gay bar.

Quatermass II is far creepier, IMHO. And not just because of Roger Delgado...

I bet there is Quatermass slash on the internets.

It has Tennant in, so it must have some pr0n of some kind out there. Although now I'm thinking about his Damien Hirst pisstake in Randall&Hopkirk and fear a gangbang with 'im and Vic'n'Bob...

There's nothing more fun than playing spot the boom. Hours of fun can be had with that.

Resistence is futile.

I was amazed at how soon the Doctor managed to cop off. He really is a goer.

Given that DW and Quatermass totally happen in the same universe it is EXTRA AMAZING. Clearly what happened is that the Doctor got nostalgic for the UNIT years and went off to go and do some science for a bit. And explore his sexuality. Um.

Let's see... they both wear a brown suit, shove their hands in the pockets, snog girls they hardly knowand have peculiar hair. However, one of them talks normally and the other one sounds like Jamie Oliver in panto.

Lots of planets have a Jamie Oliver! In panto!
