Maybe if the next story is killer it'll invigorate his reign.

I hope so, they shouldn't be letting him go out with a whimper. That one on the desert plant was underwhelming to say the least. The clips for the next one look promising though.

Is that before or after the cinema, er, "incident"?

Quote: Matthew Stott @ July 21 2009, 10:27 AM BST

I can understand the thinking behind it, but it does feel like dragging it out now, and makes Tennant seem sort of old hat. He doesn't feel like the current Doctor anymore. If you know what I mean.

Yes.

And Eccleston's whole series was like that.

Possibly during.

Arse off with your Ecclestone bashing!

Ken Dodd, and Bertie Bassett guesting in the same episode. That's great in a weird sublime way.

I suppose, but it didn't happen. :D Different stories.

Heehee. 'Arse off'.

Hey, Matt! No, wait up, I just want to talk!

Listen, I'm really sorry about what happened yesterday when I grabbed your chest like that, I was just fooling around. I know, I know, I'm a dick. Look, I only do these things because… well, because I'm insecure. I should know better, my therapist is always telling me. You didn't know I had a therapist? Well, yeah, I get kind of… down sometimes… you know, with my step dad and everything? And there was that thing with the pills – not that I was really trying to… well, you know. Anyway, I just wanted to apologize and say I never really meant all those things. The sucker punches and the wedgies all that. I guess maybe I picked on you because I'm kind of jealous or something – you know, with your big house and your nice family and all that. Anyways, I'd better take off…. What's that? You want me to come to your birthday party? You're kidding, right? After everything I did? Well, I don't know… I mean I'd love to, but… okay then, I mean, if you really want me there. Friday night? And your parents are out of town? Okay then. Listen, I really appreciate it, things can get pretty… well, things aren't so great at my place on the weekend, you know? When Rick gets his paycheck I mean. Anyway, it's all cool now. Looking forward to it. Friday night, buddy!

*turns up at Matt's party Friday night with a bunch of drunk frat boys and proceeds to demolish the place; crimping off a fat one on the marital bed, making sexual advances on his sister and subjecting him to the sort of verbal and physical abuse that causes him to one day stroll into his school cafeteria with a pump-action and unleash a hail of lead that only stops when the SWAT team arrive and neutralize him with a single, precision bullet to the forehead*

The Guardian's fashion writer is not impressed with Matt Smith's look: http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2009/jul/22/dr-who-matt-smith-fashion
But as long as he's not in a stupid rainbow cloak with question mark lapels and a matching umbrella, who cares?

This part of the article baffled me: DM boots and all their lookalike cousins have, incredibly, been having what magazines insist on calling a "comeback" for some time, mainly on the basis that Agyness Deyn likes them.

Since when did Doc Marten boots go out of style? I've been wearing them since I was 13. I do notice they're less prevalent than they used to be. They can still be seen in movies like Top Secret and at least one Peter Davison Doctor Who story - the one about the Cybermen with Beryl Reid.

GQ loved it. So I like to think they know what they're talking about more.

Forget about Smiffy for a minute -

Rowr.

Appalling apparel and an ever so slightly vacuous look (above). I prefer to live in the past (sometimes):
