New series of Doctor Who starts tonight!

[Scarlette]

It wasn't that good was it? I don't care though. I lov David Tennant. I'm not bothered about the plot; I can just look at him and feel a bit funny. Mmm.

 

[Maurice Picarda]

A bit worrying for the opener. I'm getting a bit fed up with sinister corporations being fronts for aliens, as well. Hope there's a fair bit of off-earth action to come.

 

[Stigmata]

I thought it was alright. IIRC they tend to start each series with a fairly lighthearted episode. Last time it was those stompy rhino chaps.

Loved the pink flashing lights on the Adipose car.

That was a load of pantomime-esque crap. It felt like one of those crappy American "kids comedy action" movies.

Lame, childish, lots of silly "comedy music" to tell us "this. is. a. funny. bit." Catherine Tate hasn't won me over and the charecter just dosn't convince on any level.

Utter drivel and I hope not indicative of how the rst of the series will be, but I don't hold out much hope.

Jesus, and it all looked so new and fresh when it returned with Christopher Ecclestoen back in 2005. Now it's become a formulaic (oh look - another highly-visible visitation by aliens, loads of screaming crowds as this week's aliens go on the rampage ) caricature of itself.

0/10

I laughed loads during that, then I got a bit grit in the eye at the end. Bernard Cribbins

Can't stand Catherine Tate normally but I thought she was good in that.

 

[Scarlette]

I want one of those little fat things they're rather cute

I have rather too many of them already. Hoho.

 

[Rollem]

that was a bit rubbish, but still enjoyed it

am intrigued by rose....

I agree it was a shit episode to start with but, if you seriously can't find one positive then why do you watch it?

I have to - I'm a Doctor Who fan born n' bread! It's just how it works

 

[TrippyLondoner]

I know the feelin, but you don't sound like a fan! With all that criticism there i mean, but yeah whatever!

 

[cesare]

I bet poster's favourite Doctor was Patrick Troughton

 

[_angel_]

It was okay. It's still going to beat roller-blading-on-ice or whatever nonsense passes as Saturday night 'entertainment'. Nothing will be as good as the first series with Chris Ecclestone. The subsequent ones have been patchy (mainly a bit crap with the odd good episode thrown in) David Tennant seems to have toned it down, which can only be a good thing!
Let's have Billie Piper back now.

 

[TrippyLondoner]

Just listening to the guy who writes this shit sayin he wanted the aliens to look cute/funny, wtf kinda drugs is he on?

 

[wishface]

That was pure umitigated bollocks. Very disappointed.

 

[poster342002]

No, I'm a Peter Davison man, myself! That era had some truley amazing, gritty stories. Compare something like Earthshock, Kinda, Resurrection of the Daleks or Caves of Androzani to tonights shite (which puts me in mind of the 7th Doctor's first abysmal story;Time and the Rani ) and see what I mean.

You're not usually pleased with anything, tbf

It was a lead-in, man ... give it a chance!!!

I used to hide behind the settee when the cybermen came on

Agreed.

Although it hasn't exactly been a linear decline over the course of the reboot. Blink and The Family of Blood from the last series were outstanding.

 

[poster342002]

It was a lead-in, man ... give it a chance!!!

And a thoroughly rubbish one when compared to lead-ins we've had in the past.

I certainly hid behind the settee in embarrasment when this drivel was on.

[senny dreadful]

I've been bitching and moaning about the (stunt) casting of Tate ever since we heard about it, but I may actually have to eat my words. Even though she almost lapsed into sweary old lady at one point, she was the best thing in the episode. And I'd really love a few episodes free of the unrequited love angst wank that has plagued the rest of the series, and here in Donna we finally have a companion who doesn't want to boink the Doctor.

Which is why I'm disappointed that Billie Big Face has made an appearance again so soon. Urgh.

The little fat blobs things were shit though. What numptys have they got doing their special effects these days?

True, but these gems are rapidly being outnumbered by the dross.

Christ, we'll get the predictable CGI space-dust being puffed out of someone's gob before long in one of the episodes, just wait.

I can't imagine you or wishface as one of those little adipose babies, waving and smiling.

Actually, I'm surprised no-one's started a thread yet about how the latest Doctor Who is fattist or summat

 

[wishface]

what else can they do when the script calls for cute aliens made from blobs of human fat?

Ugh.

Someone needs to punch Russell T Davies in the face.

 

[poster342002]

And talk about ham!

I agree

I wasn't looking forward to Tate but she was actually quite bearable, maybe she'll even be good now they've got the boring preliminaries over with. And I am very pleased he's got a grown up woman for a companion instead of running around with jailbait

 

[TrippyLondoner]

I actually agree there. He looks like he's 'lost the plot' a bit from what i was seeing in confidential...

Yeah, I fucking shuddered when she appeared (didn't read/know about it before) but I'd kind of changed my mind by the end.

You want 'to mate'
