I thought this was very affecting!

I really, really liked this. The BBC has been showing all the RTD/Tennant Christmas episodes and specials this week, and they seemed even more clunky and unimaginative by comparison. Tennant seems a lot blander than I remember, too.

Pond is still the weak link, but, um, eye candy so who cares.

Was their currency really called Gideons or did I mishear? Bit of politics from Moffat?

Stevie T, Tuesday, 4 January 2011 12:41 (fifteen years ago)

Thought it was Guineas, but might have misheard.

Yeah the bit with the singing on the ship was great.

Matt DC, Tuesday, 4 January 2011 12:53 (fifteen years ago)

It was Gideons. LOL.

Wow, he didn't mention the two Northampton facts 'everyone' knows, eg. BAUHAUS and 'murder Mecca of the Midlands'.

Definitely best NuWho christmas special. Felt very old who, Smith can be very impish in a hartnellesque way.

Pls to explain the "Gideons" ref?

nomar little (Leee), Wednesday, 5 January 2011 04:39 (fifteen years ago)

Gideon is the real name of George Osborne, the current Chancellor of the Exchequer in Britain - and is responsible for the Scroogey budget cuts to students, the poor and public services. The last two months in Britain have seen huge (and intermittently violent THANKS POLICE) demonstrations you may have read about.

The historic Lewis Chessmen feature in a new Doctor Who story written by Ayrshire-born novelist Jenny Colgan.

hahaha

Your Host For The Top 5 Countdown for Metal Poll (Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker), Friday, 20 January 2012 20:50 (fourteen years ago)

does anyone actually buy these books?

Your Host For The Top 5 Countdown for Metal Poll (Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker), Friday, 20 January 2012 20:56 (fourteen years ago)

LOL

I did read one that my co-worker suggested to me because it was "so good" but it was a new one about Rory and his emo manpain so naaaah.

Seriously, who votes for Drake? (Nicole), Friday, 20 January 2012 21:11 (fourteen years ago)

I shouldn't have taken her advice in the first place because she thinks Torchwood is better than Doctor Who.

Seriously, who votes for Drake? (Nicole), Friday, 20 January 2012 21:12 (fourteen years ago)

lol, i should have said "apart from dan".

Your Host For The Top 5 Countdown for Metal Poll (Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker), Friday, 20 January 2012 21:16 (fourteen years ago)

My co-worker has read every new Who and Torchwood book published. It's a bit strange.

Seriously, who votes for Drake? (Nicole), Friday, 20 January 2012 21:20 (fourteen years ago)

all the nu-Who books are hardcover and like $14 apiece, which is just too much damn money

I had no problems dishing out for these things when they were paperbacks and $6

Bam! Orgasm explosion in your facehole. (DJP), Friday, 20 January 2012 21:27 (fourteen years ago)

To be fair she orders them all from our interlibrary loan system so she's not paying for them, but still.

Also, she went to England for the specific purpose of seeing David Tennant & Catherine Tate in Much Ado About Nothing.

Seriously, who votes for Drake? (Nicole), Friday, 20 January 2012 21:32 (fourteen years ago)

DJP, some of them get reissued as paperbacks for about that price. I don't know what they're like because I've not read anything since Gallifrey Chronicles, doubt they're ~essential~ though

Autumn Almanac, Friday, 20 January 2012 21:36 (fourteen years ago)

The one I read was baaaad. But then I don't care very much about Rory's inner feelings, so.

Seriously, who votes for Drake? (Nicole), Friday, 20 January 2012 21:37 (fourteen years ago)

To be fair she orders them all from our interlibrary loan system so she's not paying for them, but still.

Our interlibrary loans cost the library abt $12 iirc and are free to the end user

I'm in the office next door to the ILL staff so I think they might come and kill me if I ordered 6000 Doctor Who books at the library's expense

(this sounds quite funny, I might try it)

Schleimpilz im Labyrinth (a passing spacecadet), Friday, 20 January 2012 22:22 (fourteen years ago)

just looked at the ppl writing the new ones; I would generally be interested in written by (in descending order of interest):

Lance Parkin
Jonathan Morris
Mark Michalowski
Simon Messingham
Paul Magrs
Jaq Rayner
Justin Richards
Martin Day
Trevor Baxendale

I would expect the Gary Russell books to be REALLY dubious in quality and the Gareth Roberts books would vary wildly from great to unreadable. I am kind of shocked at how many of the same people are still writing these!

Bam! Orgasm explosion in your facehole. (DJP), Friday, 20 January 2012 22:23 (fourteen years ago)

Lance Parkin (for obvious reasons) is maybe the only one I am not surprised at being not involved tbh.

Sugary pee is not normal (aldo), Friday, 20 January 2012 22:27 (fourteen years ago)

does anyone actually buy these books?

IIRC the BBC became the fifth-largest fiction publisher in the UK simply by publishing the new range of tie-ins?

I rly liked Jenny Colgan's 2nd and 3rd novels, she turned untellably atrocious after that tho
