....and coming up next part on the BBC 234 of Dr Who in the atomic potato from Skaro,
Dum dum dee dum dum dee dum
What's that Dr?
It's a f**king potato you miniskirted f**kwit! Aren't you supposed to be making a porno with Robert Asquith?
What's that Dr?
F**k off I used to be a proper actor.
Eeeeeeekkkkkkk it's a potato!

Hoorah my evil is without end
Great set designs.

My you are curmudgeonly lot. I rather enjoyed having my cockles warmed; and, a big plus this on any epsiode RTD was ever involved in, the plot almost made sense (well as much as time travel storylines ever do).
It was a shit snowman though.

I enjoy having my cockles warmed as much as the next man. But I need to be awake when it happens.
The idea that it was dull slightly baffles me. Each to their own.
I quite liked it.
Has Godot not been on yet?
I bet that cos he wuvved it too.

There were un-dull parts. But there were so many dragging bits in between. (in my opinion.)
Maaaybe if I watched it again, I might enjoy it more. Perhaps I was in a unreceptive mood. T'is possible.
But I watched an old Christmas episode today (the first Tate episode, with the wedding dress, Lucas from EastEnders, and the big red spider-lady) and despite some annoying elements, it was really entertaining.
This year's, I just couldn't get involved in.
The spider lady one was ridiculously poor
You just fancy DT
The spider-bint episode at least hap a sense of jeopardy and momentum. This had neither.
It didn't really though...
One of the strengths of the Who format is that it is accommodating. The story was a fairy tale, and like all the best fairytales bitter-sweet, which is where the emotional engagement came in. It was funny and sad, and there was excitement - they were attacked by a shark, in a wardrobe.
The plot element that did not really convince was the crashing skyliner, which was sketchily written and relied on those deadweights Amy and Rory, surely the most bland and irritating assistants ever (and I have not forgotten Martha). That did mean a lack of tension underpinning the story.
What does concern me about Moffatt's Doctor is the frequency with which he resorts to time travel to solve problems. It results in some clever scripts, but it does rather beg the question, if he can do that. why can't he...? (Isn't there supposed to be some sort of prohibition on people interacting with their past selves?) But Smith is nonetheless preferable to RTD's insufferable demi-god
I thought it was a really nice episode for five year olds. Sweet and safe and not remotely taxing.
