Well, I was a bit pissed off when I turned over to watch TOP GEAR and the little puffy Dr W ho was on.

Interesting idea - Jeremy Clarkson as Doctor Who? The Gerbil could be K9.

Actually I've got a copy of the Comic Relief spoof they did a few years ago, where the Doctor is played by Rowan Atkinson, Richard E. Grant, Jim Broadbent, Hugh Grant and Joanna Lumley in succession. Most amusing.

I wonder what Britney Spears thinks of having a song on the soundtrack to the end of the world...

I thought last nights effort was a proper Dr Who jobbie...

Crappy aliens, nasty special effects, dis embodied voices of homicidal machines and a wierd plot. Excellent stuff!

I found the next episode to be one of the best in the new series.

**Skyryder** · 15th July 2005, 19:03

I watched episode 2 for about fifteen minutes and went to bed with a book.

The difference between the old series and the new?

The old series had crappy special efx and a crappy story line. That worked

The new series had great special efx and still a crappy story line. Just did not work for me.

Conclusion. The makers have tried to capture the storylines of the old series and married that with computer generated special effects.

Bit like and old man getting married to a teenager. Great for the old man but no fun for the teenager.

Old hands might 'dig it' but the younger generation................I don't think so.

My 7yr old thinks it's pretty good, if a bit scary in places. Quite funny some of the questions he asks about things that happen.

Personally I was pleasantly surprised, when I first saw it. Most of the feedback from the hardcore who'ites has been positive.

Whovians dear watson, Whovians.

The name for Dr Who fans.

The previous week's Top Gear was a repeat. This week is a repeat of the Lamborghini tribute. The Dr Who re-screen was because a large bloc of Whovians requested it. Despite Sci-Fi geeks apparently being a minority, they managed a much larger number of people to request the re-screen than any motorcycling bloc has managed to request MotoGP, hence why MotoGP isn't live any more.

Billie Piper's lips are second only to Angelina Jolie's.

Saw that episode yesterday, TS, and I felt it was quite well covered and explained. Historically something not too dissimilar occured with a previous Doctor.

I don't want to say any more for fear of ruining it for those who have yet to see it.
