Don't get me wrong, I love episodes like The Unicorn and the Wasp as well Not only for the time period but I think the ridiculous monsters, calculable endings and less-than-impressive special effects are part of what I love about certain sci-fi enterprises! Plus, anything that takes place in the past around known historic events I find really cool. Urban, you have no idea how excited I am to see the rest of this journal pan out and to hear your opinions are on some of the (even) newer storylines as well! Do you have an all-time favourite episode or storyline from the classic or modern series? |

I watched Love & Monsters again the other day, largely because you'd given it such a bad rating, but I always remembered it as being modern Doctor Who at its most interesting. Anyway I still think it's a great episode, especially with the concept of a small self-help group and Marc Warren was great, kind of reminded me of the tv series Dear John with the group of individuals on show. I'm guessing that the ELO influence probably killed it for you anyway
I also watched Fear Her and what a ****ing crap episode that was! and easily belongs that low down on your list.

Love and Monsters is probably easily one of my most disliked episodes... I get that they were filming it at the same time as doing the Christmas special so it was Doctor/companion lite, but definitely not my cup of tea.

I do love Donna as well, I was dreading it when I heard Catherine Tate was doing a full series but I think they handled it well in having her change after she met the Doctor the first time, and calming her down a bit. In fact by the time you got to the window scene in 'Partners in Crime' I was totally won over by her. I love the way she was written out too, that was totally heartbreaking. Her departure was the most upset I've ever been about a companion leaving since Jo Grant left the 3rd Doctor. Having Bernard Cribbins as her Grandad was inspired casting, that guy could make a stone cry. Quote:

If I'm honest Peter Kay being in it annoys me more then the ELO thing. I used to quite like Phoenix Night, now I can't stand the guy. Quote:
F*cking hell this has got the be the slowest episode of Doctor Who I have ever seen. I feel like I've aged 10 years just watching it.

I guess it will soon be up here because if you're watching it, it probably means that it will be reviewed soon.

This one is slow paced even allowing for it being an early William Hartnell.
Apparently the director was replaced after episode 4, hopefully it'll speed up after that. I was going to watch the rest last night but gave up, maybe I'll finish watching it and writing the review of it tonight. Both are half done. I watched Seeds Of Doom over the weekend, you won't be seeing that for a while though, I need to watch the good ones to get me through the bad ones.

Did you catch Marc Warren in "Mad dogs" recently? Great actor. Loved him in "Hustle" too, was pissed when they wrote him out.
Oh, and +2 on the Peter Kay appearance. I just wanted to punch his face and never stop. Hate that guy. Why does everyone think he's god's gift to comedy???

I never got around to watching Mad Dogs something about it didn't really interest me.
I think my favourite performance by him was in State Of Play where he plays that witness that keeps being beaten up by people.
