Great list @Scrawler2:disqus . I might swap Parasites Lost and Spanish Fry with Anthology if Interest 1 and Three Hundred Big Boys but, other than that, I think we're in sync. Top three for me would probably be The Problem with Popplers, Roswell that Ends Well and Jurassic Bark.

"Curly Joe, easily amused by his own antics…"

It also helps that it's one of the funniest episodes as well. Especially for the Professor.

Not to compare your daughter to an animal, @breezybubbles:disqus  but, on a similar note, my cat always runs into the room if he hears either the Arrested Development or Father Ted theme tunes.

We're not here to talk nonsense with (Real Houswives of) Blah Blah Blah.

And to you!

I think it should also be pointed out to those who saw Bronn from Game of Thrones singing Unchained Melody that we also made that song the biggest selling song of 1995. We have shitty tastes.

As I recall that became number one over the new year week, meaning our nation started a year with that as our agreed-upon favourite song.

Anyoen who thinks Mambo No. 5 is bad should seek out and listen to the Bob the Builder version that the UK had to suffer through.

Brave too by ending with a comparison of his songs to shit.

And he's fantastic in In the Loop. Rises above merely holding his own against the regulars. As a bonus, his character is the object of the finest insult uttered in the film.

Hey, I liked that! And I stole that joke and used it in real life!

It's not the fault of the media. It's the fault of the worst period generation period ever period.

Very true - I did have a look at an interview with Scott to double-check after the episode where it was stated he was a World War II veteran but I can't remember if it was said by himself or the writer (who could easily have been jumping to the same conclusion I have). The episode did mention his help in sinking…

It did. But don't worry, it's Doctor Who - the next generation will find its rubbish effects all part of its charm.

It had great ideas that were just poorly executed. There's a great version of Victory of the Daleks in some parallel/bubble universe somewhere. Even in our version, Smith was great, the Daleks turning on all the lights during a blackout was a nice plan and, power of love aside, the guy playing the Scottish inventor…

Now that it has established its own look and tone I would be interested in seeing what a couple of the creative types from that run would do. They had some great talent and it's entirely possible that they would prefer the new style and work well with it.

Possibly- I remember reading at the time it was film (and thinking "a-ha, that explains the difference!" but I could be wrong - it certainly makes more sense budget-wise for it to be filmed on HD video.

They went to HD with Planet of the Dead. It was a noticeable uptick but it still kept the same flat cinematography for the remaining Tennant/Davies episodes.

I agree about it being the point - as I say, the impact of it pissing on Ten's usual bombast and his "nobody dies today!" hero routine was fantastic first time around, both dramatically and emotionally (thanks in part to the performances).
