Yeh, yeh, but when you have to put a partition every 10 feet and you have to pretend to have side corridors and you want to hide the stage lighting, and you don't want it to look like a modern hospital, .... you end up with triangulated arches...

I think... Cool

And, yet, the corridors in Classic Who worked so well!

Should there be another thread for the classic series?
This is a reboot thread isn't it?

I may get in touch with David "The Mad Monk" Smith
Or the Time Threadler as he is also known.

It's not a reboot, it's a continuation!

Ok

They've put all the later Dalek ones on Netflix.
I'm watching Genesis again just now.
Don't remember the Davison or C Baker ones, very well, if I saw them at all.

The Colin Baker one is good. And weird.

That's the one I'm looking forward to.
I did watch a bit of the Davison - Rodney Bewes one on Virgin catchup recently now I think about it.

Just watched Doctor #10 unconvincingly bumf**k Emily Watson in The Politician's Husband.

Nice to see all that gurning practice put to good use.

That looked shit, glad I skipped that one, it was on my recording planner at one time

My word, Diana Rigg is making this episode.

After last weeks dip, I really enjoyed that. Good work from Gatiss.

Anything with The Victorian trio works for me, but it still seemed a bit rushed, and the red Doctor thing was totally useless. Diana Rigg was brilliant though.

Quite a lot better - having Jenny, a disposable character, as the protagonist in the opening half helped as for once there was a real sense of jeopardy, even if it did result in the need for a half-arsed flashback.

Rigg and real life daughter Stirling were excellent, and for once the plot kind of made sense, even if far too rushed, with too many loose ends.

But the ending... kids in the Tardis... oh dear.

Were there kids in the Tardis? I didn't realise that.
I need to watch the end again, I though the photo bit at the end was quite good.

It suggested they will be on board the Tardis for the next ep. (Which they are, but hey, it's the Neil Gaiman ep, so it'll be good anyway)
