Although RTD has to some extent stepped aside to make way for new talent, I still think that there aren't enough writers of Paul C's calibre working on the show. Not fair! <BR/><BR/>I missed the reference to the boy called Pemberton! <BR/><BR/>Steve - Yep it was a great episode and I hope Part 2 ties up the loose ends nicely! Interestingly, the trailer for next week we see shots of the Dr and Joan with CHILDREN which mystifies me - surely time doesn't speed up that much?!? The defeat of the alien menace is, erm, rather more pressing I'd say. Look forward to seeing how they tackle that one! And oh my goodness, the Dr as Daddy?! The mind boggleth!<BR/><BR/>Yep Baines was a great character. I never watched Robin Hood, but from reviews it didn't sound so great so I'm sure your comment is accurate.<BR/><BR/>And I hope it doesn't end TOO unhappily for Jessica H aka Joan. Perhaps her and Martha will have a bitchfight over the Dr? One for male fantasies there....Old Cheeserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17871751335676050949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8262218.post-61620551274419199352007-06-01T07:37:00.000+01:002007-06-01T07:37:00.000+01:00Totally agree with your synopsis.

I thought the Bains character was superb and was shocked when I found out that the actor was from Robin Hood... he wasn't given a chance to shine in the latter at all. Jessica Hynes was excellent: bold, forward, lonely and vulnerable all at the same time: a tall order to pull off!Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02133900289384226725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8262218.post-49803545157460909562007-06-01T04:44:00.000+01:002007-06-01T04:44:00.000+01:00You asked why Paul isn't writing for the next seas...You asked why Paul isn't writing for the next season of "Doctor Who"? The answer is because he's just received a contract to write the penultimate episode of the second series of "Primeval" for the opposition! Interestingly, he's asked that he be allowed to write a monster-of-the-week episode without any emotional encumbrances!!<BR/><BR/>I got the in-joke! Maybe the Doctor's uncle was called Donald, as in Wilson!! Did you notice one of the boys was called Pemberton? As in Victor, who wrote "Fury from the Deep" and, like Mark Gatiss, is one of a select number of writers to have also acted in the show!!!TimeWardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06853837867256272087noreply@blogger.com
