That's interesting.. she has such a great voice, I can imagine she'd be wonderful in those kinds of roles as well. Is the show any good for adults?

Indeed it was - she looks the same! Although she might be even cuter now, if that's possible. But yeah, I always thought it was an amazing acting job on her part when she was so young - it's such an unselfconscious performance from her.. it's kind of her acting trademark, I reckon.

Have loved her since I saw her in her first role when she was a teenager in Heavenly Creatures (which was also Kate Winslet's first acting job, from memory). She was amazing then and she's amazing now.. her face is just so open and expressive (and absolutely gorgeous too, I gotta say).

Given I like the characters of both Hannah on Girls and Michelle in this show, I'd suggest that one's reaction to them might say as much about the particular viewer as it does about the characters and their levels of likeability or otherwise..

Yeah.. this episode took it to a whole new level, in my opinion. I liked it before (especially the very funny second episode) but this week was something else again, I reckon. All the scenes featuring Melanie Lynskey were brilliant (as usual - god she's a great actor) - this episode was funny and sad and raw and…

Yeah.. sure, he can have concerns, but he communicated them in a unnecessarily haughty and kinda insulting way.

Heh.. exactly Or - *shudder* - ending up in the goatee ghetto.

Well of course I, for one, welcome our new bearded overlords (am nothing if not pragamatic).

Yes it is like Gremlins 2 down here! Unappealing and unpleasant.

Yeah.. that's even more embarrassing than the bearded everywhere.

Also what's wrong with Australia today - man, I'm so sick of them!

Am so, so happy this show is back on.. but also, what a brilliant review! Thoughtful, interesting content; really great links; and absolutely fantastic writing.. so nice going, Ms Framke - am really delighted you're back on the BC beat.

No - I was sad.. and his final collection at fashion week was my favourite, so I wish he had made it to the finale.

Very few people in the world are more attractive than David Tennant, but yes, Capaldi is extremely attractive too (and god yes - both are infinitely more appealing than Matt Smith, in my opinion!).

I'm a woman who hated Matt Smith (the Doctor is supposed to be intelligent for chrissake! But he seemed like an idiot!) and adored Tennant in the role (and yes - I also think he's utterly gorgeous)..
And I think casting Capaldi is the smartest thing the show has done in years. I love the guy - he's a brilliant actor…

It's one of the best all-time episodes, in my opinion.. 'once again, Liz, I am an adult male..'

It was this comment here, I think you're referring to:

I've been really enjoying these reviews - thank you, Ms Framke.. and am with you on the episode titles - with that kind of length, you would at least expect a title to evoke its specific episode, but no.

Agent 13, of course!

I asked you not to tell me that!
