I've been watching the repeats of Tennant's first season and I have to say she is pretty good.

Q: In her first-ever episode, who's the mixed-race dude that Rose kisses goodbye on the lips before jumping into the Tardis? And he looks ruefully after her, then walks towards the flats behind TV Centre a tower block? Is he ever referred to again?

Tracer Hand, Tuesday, 27 November 2007 12:44 (sixteen years ago) link

You mean Mickey? He's in most of the first two series.

Matt DC, Tuesday, 27 November 2007 12:45 (sixteen years ago) link

what is the point of bringing her back? just so they can do rub emo "I love y..." 15 minute send off again.

blueski, Tuesday, 27 November 2007 12:45 (sixteen years ago) link

I'm assuming there is a ratings fluctuation (i.e. drop) between Bille and No-Billie episodes.

onimo, Tuesday, 27 November 2007 12:48 (sixteen years ago) link

the point is lesbian spank inferno massive conflagration for great finale when RTD goes so they can clear the boards for the specials and someone else (MOFFAT) to take over when it comes back in 2009 or whever the HELL it is

Alan, Tuesday, 27 November 2007 12:49 (sixteen years ago) link

i have to admit, i'd watch dr who if martin jol was the bungling dalek leader.

steve staunton for next dr who

"waaael, wayal just hofta seaa wha happens"

darraghmac, Tuesday, 27 November 2007 12:50 (sixteen years ago) link

All episodes to take place off camera, repeated on camera as monolgues.

aldo, Tuesday, 27 November 2007 12:58 (sixteen years ago) link

Matt - OK! The only other Rose-era Who I've seen besides that first Tennant episode is the awesome one with Madame Bouffant and the weird spaceship that leads to an extra-dimensional fireplace.

Can I make a guess based on what I know of nu-Who that Rose is "torn" between the trad pleasures of Mickey and the exciting yet dangerous Doctor?

Tracer Hand, Tuesday, 27 November 2007 13:19 (sixteen years ago) link

On a more serious note, the finale has been rumoured for some considerable time to be Doctor+Donna+Martha+Jack+Sarah Jane+Rose vs Master +/vs Davros. (This came from the same source as a perfect description of the last series finale, down to Jack hanging off the TARDIS, The Master return, the first time the name 'Toclafane' was heard...)

This was bolstered considerably by some off the cuff remarks by RTD about how each finale had to be bigger than the year before, and how the next finale would be UTTER FANWANK OF THE WORST KIND.

Before this confirmation the least likely part of it to be true was assumed to be the return of Rose. Now I fear the worst...

aldo, Tuesday, 27 November 2007 13:19 (sixteen years ago) link

Well Belle de Jour's not exactly setting the world on fire.

Tracer Hand, Tuesday, 27 November 2007 13:22 (sixteen years ago) link

yeah it's def gonna happen now re Davros and co. (now there's a spin-off...).

blueski, Tuesday, 27 November 2007 13:23 (sixteen years ago) link

no mention of the Children In Need thing? was pretty forgettable.

koogs, Tuesday, 27 November 2007 14:41 (sixteen years ago) link

Davros, classic-or-dud would be a good one to consider. I say dud, apart from in Genesis of the Daleks.

The Real Dirty Vicar, Tuesday, 27 November 2007 16:01 (sixteen years ago) link

Davros kind of sucks.

HI DERE, Tuesday, 27 November 2007 16:12 (sixteen years ago) link

Davros? Is the leader of the Daleks some dirty Greek?

burt_stanton, Tuesday, 27 November 2007 16:18 (sixteen years ago) link

Davros such a brilliant villain on paper but crap in practice

blueski, Tuesday, 27 November 2007 16:19 (sixteen years ago) link

and in bed

blueski, Tuesday, 27 November 2007 16:19 (sixteen years ago) link

well DUH

HI DERE, Tuesday, 27 November 2007 16:19 (sixteen years ago) link

Yeah, Michael Wisher is great in Genesis but the rest are pretty awful. Terry Molloy isn't that bad in Revelation, but he doesn't exactly have that much to do in it.

aldo, Tuesday, 27 November 2007 16:26 (sixteen years ago) link

I heard it was Davros + the Master.

Matt DC, Tuesday, 27 November 2007 16:37 (sixteen years ago) link

IN BED

Tracer Hand, Tuesday, 27 November 2007 16:38 (sixteen years ago) link

HI DERE, Tuesday, 27 November 2007 16:49 (sixteen years ago) link

Do not defile Dan's dreams.

Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 27 November 2007 16:50 (sixteen years ago) link

someone I work with is married to a Dr Who writer called p4ul C0rnell.

Grandpont Genie, Tuesday, 27 November 2007 16:51 (sixteen years ago) link

THAT FUCKING GUY

I mean, he's written some great stories, but he's also written some AMAZINGLY AWFUL ONES that people wank themselves into a frenzy over for no discernable reason (The Shadows of Avalon, AKA "FUCKING TERRIBLE BOOK")

Also you work with someone with a fantastic last name, GG!

HI DERE, Tuesday, 27 November 2007 16:54 (sixteen years ago) link

yes I have wondered whether it's real or a pseudonym but I only met her once so don't feel I can ask!

(she's written a couple of DW audio books herself)

Grandpont Genie, Tuesday, 27 November 2007 17:02 (sixteen years ago) link

Grandpoint, i thought paul had married a vicar!

Alan, Tuesday, 27 November 2007 17:41 (sixteen years ago) link

er...? that some obscure reference I don't get? do you know him? his missus did do a theology masters prior to joining us, so maybe that's what you're referring to??

Grandpont Genie, Tuesday, 27 November 2007 17:42 (sixteen years ago) link

what happens = rose + donna + martha all appear in the same place at titanic, which either creates a paradox or the titanic sinks and all three girls die.

dr looking upset, and then looks up and sees SALLY SPARROW and dr who series becomes the best dr who series ever

ken c, Tuesday, 27 November 2007 17:50 (sixteen years ago) link

Alan, Tuesday, 27 November 2007 17:54 (sixteen years ago) link

Tracer Hand, Tuesday, 27 November 2007 17:54 (sixteen years ago) link

ken c, Tuesday, 27 November 2007 18:05 (sixteen years ago) link

p4ul c0rn3ll wrote Human Nature and Father's Day, two of the best ever. I have the book of Human Nature somewhere.

Very little is more enjoyable than Tennant remarking on Davison "wearing a vegetable."

Autumn Almanac, Wednesday, 28 November 2007 01:33 (sixteen years ago) link

UGH FATHER'S DAY IS AN IRRITATING PIECE OF SHIT

Well okay, it's not that bad, but it is pie-faced twee mooning for a good portion of the time.

Lawrence Miles >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> P4ul C0rn3ll

(agh I am turning this into RADW circa 1998)

HI DERE, Wednesday, 28 November 2007 01:37 (sixteen years ago) link

Meh, science fiction doesn't all have to be po-faced aliens with prosthetic foreheads discussing trade tariffs for 28 years.

Autumn Almanac, Wednesday, 28 November 2007 01:40 (sixteen years ago) link

Although I cannot fault Lawrence Miles, if you overlook how incredibly difficult Henrietta Street is to read.
