Just know that I of course do have all the answers but I am keeping them too myself. I definitely do.
Good man.

That is the word I wanted to use! But I couldn't think of it. Couldn't get that stupid trisexual (try anything) pun out of my head.
995 pages. My most successful thread.

The first page makes quite interesting reading.
The highlight being Aaron's " Russell T. Davies is a knob"
Glad to see we've all moved on.
What's RTD up to nowadays? For all his faults, he was probably a better showrunner than Moffat. We certainly seemed to have more stand out episodes during his reign.
The problem being that they were mostly written by Moffatt.
Is Chris Boucher still working?
RTD seems to be stuck in KidsTV at the moment

I don't think stuck is the right word, he loves kids TV, I think he's happy to work there.
From what I understand, he was working on setting up his American career, but then jacked it in to come back and concentrate on looking after his seriously ill partner.

I guess so.
But he won't get the budgets.
Didn't know about his partner - that's a pretty valid excuse!

True. He set up his current kids show because of the unfortunate death of Elisabeth Sladen. Said he felt like he owed it to the behind the scenes people who would be put out of work to try and build them a new show.

He's far too nice for TV.

True, but I think the evidence suggests that Moffat is a better monkey than organ grinder.
What a nice chap
looking back at this series I think half the problem with it overall is that it was split into two. If it had been shown as one continuous series I think people would have had a better opinion of it. Although then we wouldn't have had the cracking Christmas special in the middle, which is definitely up there with my favourite episodes of all time.

Paxman: Now with us in the studio is a Dalek.
Dalek: Daleks do not answer human questions.
Paxman: Can you climb stairs?
Dalek: The Daleks reign supreme, all hail the Daleks!
Paxman: Can you climb stairs?
Dalek: No one can withstand the power of the Daleks!
Paxman: Can you climb stairs?
Dalek: You are an enemy of the Daleks!
Paxman: Can you climb stairs?
Dalek: You will be exterminated!
Paxman: Can you climb stairs?
Dalek: Daleks are supreme, Humans are weak.
Paxman: Can you climb stairs?
Dalek: The Human race will be exterminated!
Paxman: Can you climb stairs?
Dalek: Align and advance!
Paxman: Can you climb stairs?
Dalek: Advance and attack!
Paxman: I note that you're not answering the question whether you can climb stairs.
Dalek: Attack and destroy!
Paxman: I'm sorry, I'm going to be frightfully rude but - I'm sorry - it's a straight yes-or-no question and a straight yes-or-no answer: Can you climb stairs?
Dalek: Destroy and rejoice!
Paxman: With respect, that is not answering the question of whether you can climb stairs.
Dalek: Exterminate all life forms.
Paxman: But with respect you haven't answered the question of whether you can climb stairs.
Dalek: Exterminate! Exterminate!
Paxman: Right, we'll leave that aspect there and move on...
