Dr Who tonight - Blink

[Aitch]

i've just watched the next dr who, and it is absofuckinglutely terrifying. i may not sleep tonight.

anyone living in a city with lot of victorian buildings, expect lots of kiddies peeing their pants at the sight of garden and architectural statuary. the 'are you my mummy' one... NOTHING compared to this. [petrified emoticon]

i'm not kidding, by the way. i'd recommend taping and watching it forst to check.

timeywimey stuff lol! he can be very funny

I think he was quoting Einstein directly

(If it wasn't Einstein, pls correct me, I am sleep deprived and physics was a long time ago )

"wibbly wobbly timwy wimey stuff" ROFL.

I thought the Shakespear eps was only average, the Dalek one was sh!t too.

tbh one thing i've never liked about dr is the monster of the week thing

i mean, it IS a horror show, not a sci fi. there could be a bit more "monsters among us" stuff really, rather than the whole "monster of the week". more blair witchy.

sockmonkey- my secret shame was crying my eyes out at Ugly Betty this week. So glad I'm not alone.

Ah now I missed Ugly betty this week, however have no idea why anhone would cry at Britain's Got talent (apart from having to watch it in the first place of course, something I have so far achieved- hate the whole variety performance format vibe)

Belgo know what you mean about Pratchett, have just maanger top get DH into the books (and reading which is a mini miracle in itself, him normally being buried in a circuit with a soldering iron). Was my first thought LOL

Blink was bloody brilliant, possibly the best thing the BBC has done in the last year.

Will be a classic.

pratchett is SHOCKING

WHY does anyone like him?

please explain.

Kids and I loved Blink too - scary and clever. Best one in ages

filly - Pratchett is funny, clever, moral, and all those things again and much more besides.

Pratchett - unlike Rowling - is a rather informed, funny, literary novelist. That's why people like AS Byatt are tremendous fans.

I taped it and watched it on my own at midnight. Big mistake.I was bloody terrified walking up the stairs!

DH is going to watch it tonight when the babbies are in bed so I'm looking forward to sitting beside him looking uber-cool and unrattled, while he sits and shits himself watching it.

mother inferior - I find it very hard to read JK Rowling having been used to Pratchett's superior skills.

Quite. You are used to Better Things.

Clever bugger, Pratchett.

filly - now I've explained to you why I like Pratchett, can you explain why you find him SHOCKING please?

oh yes my other loathing is as byatt

prattchet is just Not Funny. I just don't see HOW he is funny. Unless you are a 12 year old boy.

I luuuurrrrvvvee Pratchett.

We listened to 'Guards, Guards' on our holiday week before last....unabridged, it was excellent and very funny.

Get one and 'Bjorn Stronginthearm is your Uncle'

who's AS Byatt?

I love Pratchett, just my sense of humour- I do wojnder if I see more in there than others as he wrote most of them living near us and some things seem to be based on thing I know- river of Blind Jo- the God Blind Io?

And frankly, Bridgwater and Ankh Morpork are pretty damned similar!

Think its on of those things you either love or hate- what The Times call The MArmite Factor

Bought Dh the colour of magic for fathers Day from DS2 actually, he's reading The Truth atm (i've got The Fift Elephant.... inspired by Dh's discovery to cath up after a few years of not reading his stuff)

'The Truth Will Make You Fret'

PMSL- exactly (and as Dh works for The Times, albeit on their desptach contract.... agrees that a group of pissheads and a few dogs on strings sums them all up in their office)

surely not eh?

I mean, everyone easts pickled bounty bars at work

I didn't find it scary at all and neither did my 3 kids, even Dd2 who is quite easily scared, infact she thought it was funny.

Am not as impressed with this series, but i think thats cos Rose isn't in it.

For me the Dr Who episode tapped into a very basic fear, that inanimate objects will move.

Clown dolls always raise a particularly big shudder, for this reason!

dp pratchett fan

makes me twitch self righteously

actually i do not like sf / fantasy. i really like the themes but i can't read them due to generally piss poor writing, all boys own stuff

lol, that's why i took my free gymboree session but couldn't bear to sign dd up for it, martian. clowns are blooming terrifying...
