'I Want You' is a seriously underrated song…and I could never get tired of hearing 'Razzmatazz'

When she appeared at the MTV Europe Awards in Edinburgh some years back a friend of mine was employed at the hotel she stayed in. She and her colleagues were issued with a memo beforehand stating that employees were not to make eye contact with J-Lo under any circumstances on the request of her management and any…

I named my teenage band Color Me Impressed…being from Britain I had no idea who The Replacements were…just liked the line and felt it had a nice ring to it.

It looked like it was all building up to a rather bleak finale didn't it? Just glad that like all fairy tales it had a happy ending.

Again, I think it illustrates a lot about Rory's character that he doesn't act like a jealous douche. Sort of a callback to The Vampires In Venice, when he thought he was losing Amy so was content to just let her drop him back in Leadworth and go off in the TARDIS.

I'm just glad that Rory got his moment of heroism and was finally established as Amy's true love. Was really annoyed by the Rory bashing on this and other forums when he first became a recurring character. There assumption that Rory the nurse was just a bumbling cuckold like Mickey when the character was so clearly…

In keeping with The Time Traveler's Wife star crossed lovers aspect, I wonder if River's first encounter with the Doctor will come when she's significantly younger and he's well into this regeneration: young enough to prompt a recasting of the role?

Moffat seems to know that there are expectations and a hell of a lot of baggage that comes with staging the modern Doctor Who finale. He played with those expectations by bringing every monster he could think of into the game but not having them attack or scheme in the expected way, rather he imbues them with…

Pan's Labyrinth
A comparison I keep making to the annoyance of my better half and friends alike is between the story arc for this series and Pan's Labyrinth. You have Amy Pond, who like Ofelia is an orphan who feels displaced in her own existence. She encounters The Doctor, who like the Faun, is all eccentric and rock…

Actually Matt Smith is due to make a guest appearance in the Sarah Jane Adventures. Whether or not she will be reciprocating by appearing in Who I have no idea. The thing about all the characters you mentioned is that they were introduced to give the show an 'everyman' sort of vibe so those British viewers who were…

I probably bash RTD a lot more than I should: after all the good episodes were often GREAT. That said I feel that a lot of times in series 2-3 especially he was latching the concept onto the tropes of Hollywood sci-fi blockbusters it couldn't really support. This was anathema to the inherent Britishness that I'm…

I think Gareth Robert's talent here was to recalibrate Doctor Who as a kind of awkward comedy of manners. He seemed more interested in milking all the hilarity he could from The Doctors eccentric behaviour and Craig's relationship woes (not complaining BTW, they were the episodes strengths). Maybe the apparent…

It's taken the whole emotive angle that RTD favoured but I feel it's just better executed this time around. I like that they kind of save the resolution 'til the end. We know The Doctor will put things right 'cos fifth doctor aside he always does. The fun here comes from seeing the observations and misconceptions he…

I agree, for a show that supposedly presents limitless story telling opportunites they are really tethered by this 'alien antagonist ALWAYS' rule. I can think of three this season alone (The Vampires of Venice, Vincent and the Doctor, this one) That would have benefited from a supernatural enemy or no monster at all.…

Like that idea of him just being in the background, we didn't get a Doctor-lite episode this season. That said it was fun that Matt Smith took every established characteristic of this incarnation of The Doctor and played them for laughs. Even the creepy threats. And I think we were supposed to take this as a…

She's a little underused in this one but it was still funny to see her gamely running round trying to operate the TARDIS.

Movies: Worth a watch?
I must have seen every episode of the original run at least four times: I adore every one of them. Never seen any of the films in any form simply because The Devil's Hands Are Idle Playthings is such a perfect ending I don't wish to undermine my opinion of the show by seeing what comes next.…

I felt that Rory's 'death' had a very different impact in Amy's Choice as opposed to Cold Blood. The power of his death in the dreams came from the bittersweet realisation from Amy that she must love him because the thought of continuing without him is unbearable. I also feel that the Doctor's inability to do anything…

Victory of the Daleks is not one of my favourites, but I have to say I don't hate it quite as much as some. Mark Gatiss has said that he wanted to write a sort of matinee WWII film starring The Doctor. And I think he achieved that. It's lighthearted scrappy fun with lot's of knowingly corny dialogue. The Daleks have…

Without saying anything about next weeks story I think the two-part structure works when used well. Thinking about the Weeping Angels two-parter here. Time of Angels gave us all the added exposition on top of what we already knew from Blink, as well as getting the whole "Amy meet River…River, Amy" out of the way. This…
