> I really enjoyed the annual Christmas episode and next week is the first episode of season 4. It's great having the Doc back!

It's interesting that they try to pitch the Christmas episodes at a slightly different audience - or perhaps an audience in a slightly different mood with slightly different expectations.

I was once agains surprised that a principal guest start - Kylie Minogue this time - could actually turn in a good nuanced performance, aided by a perceptive script. She's apparently even indicated that she'd not be averse to coming back sometime.

The Doctor in social settings is always interesting, just to see how he's going to subvert them.

On the other hand, some of the silliness, like the Queen waving "Thank you Doctor", rather spoiled the suspension od disbelief for me.

And the old man who played the newsseller Wilf so impressed the production team that they invited him back for several episodes in series 4.

- No, but I watched that Sarah Jane show that's an offshoot of Dr. Who. (no text) · Spaztic Chyld · Sun Apr 20, 2008 at 12:59:26 am EDT
  - And a great offshoot it is. That series improves up to an excellent climax. (no text) · HH · Sun Apr 20, 2008 at 09:34:15 am EDT
    - I've been enjoying this show. We're hooked on this, too. :) (no text) · Scott · Sun Apr 20, 2008 at 11:22:19 am EDT
      - As well you should be. For a "kids show," it's a lot more intelligent than a lot of "adult shows." :) (no text) · CrazySugarFreakBoy! · Mon Apr 21, 2008 at 02:49:06 am EDT
        
        Same with Young Dracula. Let's face it. Dem Brits have smarter shows 'cuz dey are so ed-u-cated. (no text) · Scott · Mon Apr 21, 2008 at 10:30:44 pm EDT
