I've just watched last night's Dr Who, the one about the "weeping angels". Am I alone in seeing the Back to the Future part III reference, plus a most excellent debt to Bill and Ted (you know the whole leaving objects in the future stuff in Bogus Journey). I have been tiring a little of David Tennants borderline "pantomime buffoonery" (of course I appreciate he is playing to at least two audiences), but this was the kind of Who stuff I remember from when I was a kid, eerie monsters, clever script, marvellous pacing and thankfully very few CGI moments, plus a genuine sense of loss and melancholy : a classic! Now I really really hope that John Simm does turn out to be the Master - groovy (I apologise for the lack of sarcasm and miserabilism, and the fanboy geeky overdose, but I have a week of and the sun is shining, well obviously not at 11pm, but metaphorically)."I wrote my friend a letter with a highlighting pen, but he could not read it, he thought I was trying to show him certain parts of a piece of paper." - Mitch Hedberg
