Noooooooooo!

Discerning viewers may wish to skip to the end of season 4, which will be a good bit because it has Martha in it.

Whogasm

God only knows what they’ll be like tomorrow evening.

Worst acting performance ever?

Alert! Extreme Who geekery!

The Five Doctors, re-edited: parts 1 & 2. (via Tim) Can anyone tell me who the guy clinging to the rock is?

Also, slight spoiler for the finale of the current series at the end of Ep 2, for anyone who didn’t read it in that interview in a nationally-distributed Sunday newspaper three months ago.

Relative Dimensions

“Chapter One. He adored Doctor Who. He idolized it all out of proportion.” Uh, no, make that: “He-he…romanticized it all out of proportion. Now…to him…no matter what the season was, this was still a show that existed in black and white and pulsated to the great tunes of Delia Derbyshire.”

Not a metrosexual, then.

The once-great Patrick Moore has clearly succumbed to the brainworms:

“The trouble is that the BBC now is run by women and it shows: soap operas, cooking, quizzes, kitchen-sink plays. You wouldn’t have had that in the golden days….I used to watch Doctor Who and Star Trek, but they went PC – making women commanders, that kind of thing. I stopped watching.”

Torchwood is Best

YA RLY. At least according to Bafta Cymru:

Best Drama Series
Torchwood: Everything Changes
Richard Stokes

]And Eva Myles was best actress.

I’m betting this is an improvement over the real thing

Schiff’s Law of Continuity

Interview in the Indie:

Spencer’s death was the nadir in a difficult endgame for Schiff and The West Wing. His episodes, and many of his colleagues’, were cut – “Purely a financial decision,” he says. “We were expensive actors.” He felt let down by the scriptwriters.

“I was sad for the show,” he says. “I hated my storyline. Toby would never in 10 million years have betrayed the president in that fashion [in the seventh series, Toby is indicted for leaking classified information]. Even if he had, there would have been seven episodes’ worth of fights before he did it… In the end, the only way I could make sense of my story was to come up with my own story – that Toby was covering for someone else. That, at least, made sense to me.”

So, who was Toby covering for? “I don’t think I should ever reveal that.”
