Doctor Who

[Silent Invader]

I've tried but I'm just not getting into this series. The new assistant seems more cool and collected than the dr, which makes the show feel quirky rather than tense. The BAFTA skit was a classic example of this role reversal. Maybe the dr should regenerate in the form of the new assistant, which could be used to "explain" how she's a dead but not time traveller etc

liked this story on the whole, but far too Borg on the whole... love the new design though, but they could still lose the stompy noises...

I loved the use of a Cyberman as the chess laying Turk

The Silver Turk - 8th Doctor and Mary Shelley in 19th Century Vienna come across a Mondasian Cyberman used as a Turk... very good story, nice nod to the original cloth faced cybermen back when they had names...

erm... does that mean he's ditched Who then? he'll never grow that back in time for next filming block, and I doubt a wig would be that good.

When does filming start again?

usually over winter for a summer showing, only a couple of weeks ago, he was on location with David Tennant.

well... that was quite good... some dodgy overlaying into the flashbacks, but that was good... and a cracking cliffhanger...

and Strax has the best lines again.

Good choice

[Levied Troop]

Oh yes.

And the figures will be suitable from victorian era to post apoc

Strax still has the best lines.
