Re: android invasion?
Appreciate your thoughts Stardoe.
I watched the Stolen Earth last night and enjoyed seeing our Sarah in it.
Glad I'm not alone in disliking the modern Tardis interior, but call be a twit but I just find it overly distracting and cluttered.
Mind you I'm an aesthete really so the simple white original futuristic console room was more to my liking.
You raise good points Stardoe on the Doctor, but I still think the current writers are imbuing him with more than what he is.
Even the Sonic Screwdriver is more like a magic wand now!.
I've heard Terrance Dicks mention this on a dvd commentary and I agree.
I hope to watch the SJA late this yaar when the box set comes out and so I'll be interested to see if Sara's Sonic Lippy is used as a 'magic wand'.
I saw on the cut down Dr Who Confidential, that our Lis in rehersal read throughts was sitting next to Tennant too!. The centre of the show.
Good to see the 'nasty wee salt shakers' back last night with ol Davros, but the final show looks to be good.
Finally, with Rose showing up, one has a certain amount of vindication, as I thought she was mediocre at the time ans now in comparison with other assistants, (especially SJ), Rose is very much an also-ran.
Donna is much better and more traditional, even Martha is better than Rose and she too was caught in the romantic folly during her tenure.
I know there is some subjectivity in this, but to me Rose will be one of the more minor and annoying assistants akin to Tegan, Adric, Ace etc.
I'm looking forward to seeing The War Machines later this year here, as I hear Polly (Anneke Wills) was well regarded and was offered an extension on the show beyond The Faceless Ones'.
I'd like to see her in action and she's one of those assistants oft overlooked but could have been bigger .
Thanks for your comments Stardoe and I'm looking forward to Sunday night.
Good health to you,
Phil
