The Doctor is backSo did you see it Ravey?
What did you think of Rose
I'm still not certain about Catherine Tate. All the way through I kept seeing her sketch show characters. I'm prepared to give her more time tho'.
Overall weak story, but I wish my adipose would leave as easily
I will be watching next week.

I thought it was good. Not the strongest episode to start a new series perhaps, but good family entertainment none the less.
The ravey jury is still out on Catherine Tate - like you say I keep expecting her catchphrases to ring out, but we'll see how we go.
Nice to see Rose, will be interestsing to see how they explain that.

I've reached a decision on Catherine Tate.
Worrra faaaaackin' liberty.
Without a doubt the worst assistant of the modern era, and I'm fairly certain she is the worst one ever.
She's certainly no Rose (or indeed a Tegan, Sarah-Jane or Leela) is she?

Have to agree with you Ravey. All I keep seeing are her sketch show characters (I counted 3 last night )
In todays Sunday paper the guy is pretty much saying the same hoping that the show can survive this tremendous gaff, having only specials next year. What was RTD doing casting CT in this role? In the words of CT 'is he having a larf'?

I can only imagine he started believing his own hype and thinks everything he does will turn to gold. Sadly in this instance he's left polishing a turd.

Well only seen it the once and that was late Saturday after an excellent days rinse after the Game in Leeds. Think im going to go against the grain here because I thought it was brilliant (from what i can remember anyway ). A poignant story of an arrogant society fiddling in the face of certain oblivion. Ring any bells anyone? As is usually the case the stories are riddled with analogous contemporary situations and I thought Saturdays was particularly intriguing. Then again I was rather still on the high from the day out.
Phil Davis is one of my favorite actors ever since he appeared in the fantastic though sadly never repeated Leeds based North Square. He was great as Lucius the collaborating soothsayer
I think CT brings something different and unique to the stories as well. Sure she aint no eye candy or fawning dolly but I think we have to get past that and the characters she has previously played to see her role for what it is. A strong female character with her own mind who can bring something to the Dr others cant.

Best episode last night in a long long time........................................
My guess is he will regenerate as.......................David Tennant
Just you watch
It will have something to do with that hand in the jar - that was panned across ever so slowly by the camera (for no good reason)

At the end DT said 'I have regenerated' then glowed......River Song said he turned up in a different colour suit.....is he now her doctor?

I noticed that too - and did you notice the Darlek death-ray only struck him a glancing blow, when normally they zap everyone first time and that's it, they're toast?
Cracking episode though and already looking forward to next Saturday night.

As for the Cybermen I think mrs ravey hit the nail on the head when she said "what, again?"
There were loads of baddies in the old episodes of Dr Who and surely it's not beyond the realms of possibility for some lazy arsed overpaid writers to think up a few more, is it???

They only have to look at certain footballers agents to get inspiration. The one im thinking about makes Davros look like Florence off the magic roundabout
