Really excellent episode…
Really enjoyed the latest episode of Doctor Who, Bad Wolf which is the last but one for this season.
Really gripping episode topped off with a large helping of Daleks.
warhammer, wh40k, flames of war, bolt action, aeronautica imperialis, star wars, models, news, views and stuff
this is now getting silly…
The “kidnappers” of a Dalek have sent the owners a ransom note demanding instructions from the Doctor…
Last night saw the third episode of the new Doctor Who, The Unquiet Dead, which I recorded and watched tonight.
Excellent stuff with walking dead, gaseous aliens and Charles Dickens played by the excellent Simon Callow.
Set in Cardiff in 1869 it was a really really good episode, excellent acting, great special effects.
I thought the plot was good and rather funny as well, but at times quite scary.
Next week’s episode looks good as well.
My only thought at the moment is I really don’t like the inside of the Tardis in particular the central console, what is with the bicycle pump?
Though Chris is quitting there is some good news in that there will be a second series.
…well Chris does.
It would appear that Christoper Eccleston has announced he is quitting Doctor Who.
According to the BBC, Actor Christopher Eccleston has quit as Doctor Who after just one episode of the new series has been screened, the BBC has confirmed. Eccleston, whose first appearance as the ninth Time Lord attracted around 10 million viewers, feared being typecast.
I can see why, but why? One season, why not after two? Peter Davison always seemed to do okay.
Ah well.
According to the BBC News, Doctor Who was a “Saturday night hit” with 10.5 million viewers.
I did watch it and really enjoyed it, it was quite good. It would seem that quite a few other people also tuned in. It will be interesting to see if Doctor Who can maintain these viewing figures over the 13 episode series.
Well with Doctor Who back on the telly tonight (yeah), The Guardian on the front of their weekly Guide have a couple of Daleks with the byline This time they can fly…
The Daily Mirror back in October also mentioned how the Daleks can now fly!
Well this is where I turn into a real Doctor Who anorak…
As anyone who has seen Remembrance of the Daleks (from the Sylvester McCoy era) will know that Daleks could fly upstairs and was used to great effect in the first episode cliffhanger.
The Doctor runs up the stairs to escape a Dalek only to find the Dalek could now fly up the stairs…
So Daleks have been able to fly since 1988 (or should that be 1963 as that is when the episode is set).
All you really need to know is that Doctor Who is back on BBC 1 tonight at 7pm and there is also a behind the scenes programme straight afterwards on BBC THREE.
