Since 2004.

What this country needs... right now... is a cliffhanger.

There's been a lot of fun to be had with the current series of Doctor Who (BBC-tv).

Paul Cornell's episodes Human Nature and Family of Blood were probably the best thing the New Who has done. The final episode is on Saturday. John Simm has been most entertaining as The Master. The Doctor, as with previous episode thirteens, finds himself and all of humanity in peril.

I don't want yet another episode thirteen with an all too convenient resolution, however. What I want is an end of season cliffhanger.

The comments contain spoilers for the final episodes if you haven't seen them yet.

No cliffhanger then, just a trailer for the Christmas Special.

Captain Jack is the Face of Boe (sp?) = nice!

The Doctor is Jesus Christ = not so much...

Yeah - had I thought about this for more than a few seconds, it would have been obvious. You can't do a Christmas Special for all the family to enjoy that is a continuation of a story from six months ago.

Mixed feelings about the final ep, to be honest, but the ten year old I watched it with seemed to really enjoy it.

The full story behind what they decided to do with Martha will no doubt come out in the tabloids soon.

no walking daleks then?

Leon 2. July 2007, 12:47

No, it had a Gollum though, but in a suit, and the aforementioned Jesus.

Jeez Simon that walking Dalek is scary...the only reason I sleep at night is because the stairs are always between me and the spawn of Skaro.

So new companion, already know Pete's preference but I'd like someone who is really the Doctors equal and holds him more in contempt than awe, like Romana in the early 1980's. She was a much more powerful Timelord but wore thigh-high leather boots and a school-girl uniform. They don't make TV like that anymore.

Peter Taylor 2. July 2007, 21:42

No.

No they don't.

Maybe they'll make it a man? :spock:

Kylie would have been better than Ms. Tate.

A-ha-ha-hem.

Hey, finally seen the last episode!

Should point out that Romana was a Time Lord (or Lady) and was played by two actresses, the second of whom was married to Tom Baker for a while. Ah, Doctor Who trivia, love it.

Hope you enjoyed it, Matt. Okay, so Doctor Who is back on this blog at Christmas.

Although isn't your blog officially The Home of The Doctor, or something, Matt...?

Oh, if you insist ...! It helps to have a raving 10 year old DW fan in the house.
