I liked Matt Smith toward the end more, at the start, it felt like they were trying too hard to make him be all 'random', towards the end, he began to feel more Doctor-y

They had no money or much resources at the beginning. Give them a chance! :fist:

I've been re-watching some too though on Netflix.

And although I always disliked Martha (still do - Freema is just baaaaadd) series 3 is quite the little gem looking back.

Wow that episode was just fab it was straightforward and I was on the edge of my seat the entire time and for once I actually liked the ending.

Bill was amazing at portraying the fear too.

I think we've become a bit used to arrogant companions (Rose, Amy, Clara) breezing through adventures in space straight away without that initial fear/reluctance.

I've seen them all before, it's just the weird order I'm doing it. There's a massive jump from the end of Smiths run to the start of Tennant's. Though I suspect the upgrades kick in during the Tennant era?

Wow that was amazing. This series :love:

Depends.

The use of green screen improves. :worry:

One thing I think Moffat is better at than RTD was is the spreading out of money across the series. RTD always went big for the finale leaving him with some episodes where he didn't have much for CGI or big set pieces. The majority of Moffat episodes look amazing all series, plus his finales tend to be fairly understated anyway.

I think Moffat has more money and the benefit of taking over several years after everything had already been set up and prepared for him.

Being totally fair, I've actually noticed a fairly dramatic improvement in TV show effects in the last 6 or 7 years in general. It's probably just getting cheaper to develop half decent effects.

Phoebe Waller-Bridge has broken through this year thanks to Fleabag, and now that she's famous, she's been linked to taking on the lead role in Doctor Who once Peter Capaldi departs.

Speaking to Digital Spy and other media at the BAFTA TV Awards, where she won the Female Performance in a Comedy Programme, she said "I am not going to be the first female Doctor, not that I know of.

They're just finding "quirky" looking women and adding them to the rumour list because they're not "traditional" looking beauties and look a bit funny. That's why Miranda Hart and Tilda Swinton were rumoured too.

It might be kind of offensive if it weren't bloody hilarious.

Just sayin'

Or something will happen that means even THEY don't know who's who :omgno:

...randomly stumbled across this piece of gold.

Of all the things I expected to turn up this episode, the Large Hadron Collider was not one

Anyway, it's nice to see that Moffat's gone back to his funny old trick of refusing to structure a coherent episode
