And I don't like the candy coloured Daleks (rainbow Daleks? Not Scary) And I'm *sure* the acting wasn't so hammy when I was a kid. -- Pd

What I _will_ say is that Saturday's Dalek episode was the first one where Matt Smith seemed to be playing the Doctor, not Matt Smith playing David Tennant playing the Doctor. If you see what I mean. And I loved the Jammy Dodger line.

Isn't that the point? Each new Doctor is getting younger. Just wait for the screaming toddler... -- David Empson dempson(a)actrix.gen.nz |
