erastesExcellent Doctor Who, action adventure, mild slash if you look sideways (yes, it's probably only me that saw it, don't worry you didn't miss anything). Unexpected twist on a well-worn premise of picking them all off one by one. Oh and in real time, too, clever reversal of "24" naming it 42 - being the number of minutes.
And the special effects rocked.
I did like Neil Gaiman's love letter to Dr Who yesterday, and I thoroughly agree with him about the early doctors, I'm old enough to remember them all, and although Tom Baker is my favourite doctor, for me, when it comes to characterisation and total BELIEF - for me it has to be Patrick Troughton. He IS the doctor, for me.
Oh and - if you DIDN'T see Jonathan Ross last night, you missed another treat - as they showed an exclusive clip of the episode where Captain Jack returns, and he's RACING through Cardiff immediately after the last time we saw him in Torchwood when he heard the engines, and he's screaming "DOCTOR" - and Ten SEES him on the monitor... looks shifty and takes OFF!!!!
