Quote: Matthew Stott @ January 7 2010, 10:44 AM GMTAll of his episdoes have been quite filler so far, haven't they? Not awful, but just 'they'll do', nothing to exciting sort of episodes. I was hoping Robert Shearman, who wrote 'Dalek', was also going to be back.
I am having a stab here but he is Welsh probably and I imagine there is some kind of condition or quota?
Quote: Griff @ January 7 2010, 10:41 AM GMTBut some of the other writers have a very dodgy portfolio of some of the worst excesses of New Who and Torchwood between them.
True, though hopefully with a different hand now guiding them, they might deliver better material. Maybe. 'Praps. Still, six Moffatt episodes! (We'll not mention that, after such a good run, he's surely due a duffer or two, ok? Ok)

Bit poor taste posting pictures of minstrels, Griff.
At least they've found the disused quarry.
Is that Alec Guiness at the front?

"I thought you'd died; or gone to Wales" Is that a quote from something??
Quote: Griff @ January 7 2010, 11:11 AM GMTGoogle tells me "I thought you'd died or gone to Birmingham" is a Dr.Who quote.
Look at you, having Seventh Doctor script quotes on the tip of your tongue.
I'm sure Stott's had much worse on the tip of his tongue.

I even know that was from Survival, and said to Ace. F**k I need a life.

I made sure Bussell had been thoroughly cleansed before hand. He still tasted funny though. Like old ham.

We've talked about swearing before, Marc. It's out of character.
It wasn't me swearing it was the Welshman.

If I had a pound for every time I heard that.
Well, I'm glad Gatiss is back.
Quote: Griff @ January 7 2010, 12:01 PM GMTI think Gatiss is terrific in LOG and I like his Lucifer Box novels, but not fond of his Dr.Who episodes so far.
I enjoyed his first one, the Dickens one; the second one was bit more nondescript, though it had some good images; such as the faceless people, and the faces appearing on TV screens. The one he actually appeared in as a baddie (though didn't write) was dull, and featured a really terrible looking computer generated monster.
