Doctor Who

Post your views about what's on the telly-box (not about transvestites, unless it is a programme about transvestism, and even that is borderline unless there are also ladyboys).

That was a good, fun, light hearted episode. Lots of good side references as well. Strax definitely had the best lines.

I'm not usually a fan of comedy episodes, but this one was quite good. Diana Rigg was as mad as a spaniel and Strax did get some great lines. Luckily there was none of the 'ooh look, lesbians! Aren't we daring?' stuff with Madam Vastra and her missus either.

A good run of decent episodes. We must be due a real stinker soon.

Hope that's a load of bollocks as it pisses about with the history too much. Mind you the article mentions the 12 regenerations thing again which I thought
they had abandoned? If so just adds weight to the fact the writer is talking out of their arse.

Last weeks episode was goo apart from that god awful ending. They have been building up the Cyberman episode for a while, but
showing the kids Clara looks after are going to be in it made it look more like the Sarah Jane Adventures.

I do hope I'm wrong :|

Best thing about the show is that one day it will be over.

You're not thinking this through. If they stick to 12 regenerations and end Dr Who. Then that will give someone licence a couple of years later to do Gallifrey the early years or a re-imagining of Dr Who from episode 1 :fear:

Hmmm, I liked tonight's episode. Loved the new Cybermen design and the Cybermites.

Disliked the Cyberman going all Matrix to kidnap the brat. Really disliked the annoying brats. Thought the gear the punishment platoon wore looked like cheap paintball gear.

Overall not as strong as the last Neil Gaiman story but hell of alot better than the last Cyberman story.

Either way there will come a day when some bright spark says "I know what would be great..."

Quite a good episode tonight, Warrick Davies usually is good value. Very disappointed that they decided to turn the Cybermen into a cut-price version of the Borg though. Plenty of other ways they could have expanded or reinvented them. Just more lazy writing, should be used to it I suppose.
