Doctor Who is back SATURDAY 5th April

[UnquietDad]

That's tomorrow, folks!

6.20pm start time for the first episode - don't be having tea or anything, will you?

[SqueeeeBaroo]

less than an hour. I am perfectly calm. I am serene.

[stepfordwife]

deep breaths
deep breaths

[hippipotami]

So what did we think?

[Immaculateconception]

Hurray! Rose!!!!!!!!!!!!! I loved it! Breath deeply!

[TheDuchessOfNorksBride]

That was good fun, I'm not a big fan of Donna. Nice to see Rose at the end - is she coming back like the Army of Ghosts did d'you think?

Must put DCs to bed.

[Threadworm]

Dull, dull, dull. Why does it always have to be about whether Dr Who wants a girlfriend? That's so bloody Earthbound.

[Peachy]

Oh we loved it- brilliant opener 9and I was so unsure of Catherine tate but it seemed to work)

[Kimi]

So glad CT has been toned down, far too much screeching in the Christmas episode

[glitterfairy]

It was ok not the great stuff I have watched and no examination of anything too deep at all but the kids liked it and please please lets get rid of CT and bring back Rose. Didnt like the whole I am in love with the doctor stuff of Martha.

[janeite]

I didn't watch it but dd1 shouted me in to look at those little potato man things and they were very cute.

[Desiderata]

It wasn't the best, but I think the producers are just working on the next generation of viewers ... get the children hooked with nothing too scary .. to begin with

And think of all those adipose toys they can sell next Christmas

Billy Piper appears to have lost a lot of weight, judging by her brief appearance.

[ShakeysGirl]

It was a disappointment to me. Hope it gets better.

[tharsheblows]

Is it going to be repeated before next week? Please say yes...

[Threadworm]

If they want children to like it, why all the girlfriend/boyfriend stuff? Everything is soap these days,.

[MaryAnnSingleton]

CT did sound like her 'how very dare you' character towards the end...

[ktmoomoo]

i liked it but dh and ds thought it rubbish tut tut tut men have no taste . i want one of those little fat beings awwwwwwwww cute xx

[UnquietDad]

It was about precisely the opposite, threadworm - Donna isn't going to be that kind of companion. And there are going to be 4 or 5 alien planets this season, starting in ep. 3.

[UnquietDad]

tharsheblows - BBC3 tonight, 8pm, and also on Friday.

[peanutbear]

DS did puking noises when Rose appeared as he said he didnt like the love stuff!!!!

[Threadworm]

Glad to hear they are going to be off Planet Earth for a change.

I gathered that Donna and the Dr Who wouldn't be an item but they spent so long establishing that, and so many agonising glances, that the programme was still a girlfriend-boyfriend soap.

It makes me angry because it is yet anther part of the loss of childhood. A lovesick Doctor in my youth would have had us coming out from behind the sofa and throwing things at the screen.

[PersephoneSnape]

just vile. rusty you're a horrible horrible man. I'll watch it because i have to(...) but the mugging and overacting from catherine tate really annoyed me and those adipose (adipi?) were horribly cute.

i know it was the first episode, but i just expect more. and maryann you're right. 'who dear? me dear? want to be romantic with you the very idea!'.

slapstick. bring on the scary.

[UnquietDad]

He's free again, laydees!
