Yep, they're breaking the rules. That's not on. Basically any old nonsense goes apparently. Those "Spitfires" were built, crew trained and launched in under 10 minutes? Why not send them against the incoming bombers. Too much. JH Reply to this message | Report message

Haven't watched it since the Master was living inside that stone statue...that kind of made sense at the time Anyway, why are you wasting your lives watching Dr Who...when you could be working your way through the Blake's 7 box sets? Reply to this message | Report message

>> Those "Spitfires" were built crew trained and launched in under 10 minutes? You're forgetting the Dr has a time machine. He flew back in time and had them built. I did notice that they pinched the flux capacitor idea from Back to the Future though. Reply to this message | Report message

The Mk2 Dalek is a fair bit bigger than the Mk1. I suppose it's the air bags and crumple zones that have bloated it a bit. Wonder if they will bring out an estate version? And how come the new Tardis still takes the form of a police box? I thought it was supposed to blend into it's surroundings but the old one couldn't because of a fault in the system (probably an ECU sourced from Fiat or Renault). The new assistant has some legs, hasn't she? Last edited by: Robin Regal on Sun 18 Apr 10 at 15:03 Reply to this message | Report message

Rob, is it a new Tardis? I missed that. Signed up for scrappage did he? :-) On a different note, I think most backroomers have a dim view of pc so this is definitely a question and not a criticism; how does the doctor get away with comments like "You're Scottish, fry something" (previous episode)? That usually attracts the angry brigade with cries of "racial discrimination" and "it's a hate crime", whatever that means, whereas the more normal among us (and God forbid I ever be normal. Normal people do some very peculiar things) just think it's funny. JH Reply to this message | Report message

" Even my 8 year old daughter said it was stupid! " And was there really any need for 'Churchill' to use the word beginning in B with a couple of RRs in the middle and ending in D, during what is a highly popular childrens series? Err No! Reply to this message | Report message

I agree Fullchat. I was somewhat taken aback to hear that. The Spitfire thing was a bit silly, but I *think* that they could fly into space due to some of the other inventions (gravity bubble being one of them) of that android bloke played by the fella from Law & Order UK. Though how they managed to adapt the Spitfires so quickly baffles me. I didn't like the new Daleks at all - they've been eating far too many pies for my liking. I did think that the 'soldier' Daleks looked excellent in their green paint. Matt Smith is turning out to be very very good as the Doctor. I had my reservations but I think that he's taken to the part really well. And I like Amy Pond very much. In fact, I might be falling in love. Don't tell Mrs Badwolf though. I don't think she'd approve. Reply to this message | Report message

www.wired.com/images_blogs/underwire/2009/07/smith.jpg Oof! She's pretty. TBH, I've found it all a bit hit and miss for a couple of years now. The whole TARDIS deus ex machina aspect of the story- he's in a bit of a bind, gets rescued by the box- was trite. Or something that rhymes with trite. I think we need some hard sci-fi show to counter it- something with the feel of Blake's7 would be very welcome right now. Will it survive the absence of RTD? I don't know. It doesn't bode well to me when the 2nd ep drags the Daleks back in. You can have too much Dalek. Reply to this message | Report message

Moi aussi. Still a fine-looking woman. Shame Ed Bishop and Michael Billington couldn't have been around to see it. Is that the actual golfball from the printer itself? Ie, the self-same one? Last edited by: Aaron C. Rescue on Mon 19 Apr 10 at 22:53 Reply to this message | Report message

Never could stand the dr in any of his versions, purple-haired doxies and all, carp for nippers and not the best. Could I be wrong though? Could 22 million British whippersnappers possibly be right? No, I don't think so. Rubbish, and always was. Reply to this message | Report message

I'm not at all interested in U.F.O. but I would like to see Blake's Seven "re-imagined". The recent Battlestar Galactica series shown on Sky was very slick, shot in semi-documentary style. Shame about the poor ending. Reply to this message | Report message

The last few years of revamped Dr Who has been something we've watched as a family after tea each Sat with our (now early teens) girls. Of course you can pick holes in it but the production values are a mile above the old series when I was a kid. Even if not an earth shattering (?) story each week has something of merit and anything that gets the kids out of their rooms, off the laptops and sitting with us for an hour is OK by me.
