Nope! :)
Nevah!

She was in that?? :O

Who did she play?

Oh, various characters. She didn't have much screentime compared to everyone else.

Ahh. I don't remember her at all.
But I guess I would if I saw pictures or something.
Good to have a comedy actor in Who though. :)

That's all they have in Who, comedy actors.

Like Matt Smith, David Tennant, Christopher Ecclestone, Billie Piper, etc.

Tombstone Face, Skinny Scot, Big Ears, Slapper Pop Star... Like I said, all they have in Who are comedy actors.

Not quite sure where you're getting slapper from, (other than the fact she's a woman!Some lady folks are nice you know!), but I'll let you have the rest.

She slept with Chri Evans - only a person of loose morals would do such a thing. Plus she played a prostitute in that ITV2 show, Isn't Prostitution Great.

Talking about pace, it's down to what you grew up with. I started watching Dr Who in 1973, and TV in general was a lot slower back then. TV at the time was what someone called "electronic theatre", rather than the more pacy, film-like programmes we get now. I think technology and effects have also moved on as well as our tastes.

I started watching every Dr Who episode in order last year, and am up to Castrovalva at the moment. I have to admit, Image of the Fendahl isn't one of my favourites, the script is hit and miss in places.

I've never heard of the new companion, but if she's an actress, then why not.

Yes-on TV! David Tennant isn't really a Time Lord Chip.

Anybody else think they should have shown all the last Tennant episodes over a shorter period? Say four weeks? Spreading them out like this seems to have diluted the excitement somewhat. :(

Are you going to tell zooo, or shall I do it?

Har.

Compleeetely.

Although it seems like the last 3 are a bit closer to one another?

They've still fluffed it and ensured that DT, who's done okay in the role, goes out with mor of a whimper than a bang.

Yes, it feels like a drag having them so spread out. Not that I don't love Tennant in the role, but knowing what's coming up next makes you want to get to the end of this quicker.

I feel that way about life.

Yeah they have f**ked his ending (hee) a bit.
