Taking my mind off things...

[caliente_uk]

New Doctor Who! Squee!! One thing, though. If you've got young children? Not a very good idea to let them watch this. It even scared *me* a little at times. It almost made me want to hide behind the sofa again, like I did when I was a child. ;)



Werewolf!! I loved the werewolf! I loved the Doctor! I loved Rose! I loved everything about this episode! The time flew by, it was so full of action. Plus...we got to hear DT's real accent! Squee!!

Yes, I am aware that I'm abusing the exclamation point, but I don't care! This was just what I needed tonight. This is television at its very best as far as I'm concerned. I'm a very satisfied girl tonight. :D

David Tennant is just so right as the Doctor. *sigh* Don't get me wrong, I still miss Nine (What? I do!), but I am completely in lust with sold on Ten.

And Torchwood references! Yay! I am *so* looking forward to Torchwood, not least because it means I'll be getting to see Captain Jack again...and that can't be anything but good. *g*

And what about the preview for next week? ASH, K-9 *and* Sarah Jane! All in one episode. I can't wait! :D

They brought back Sarah Jane? Whoot!

[caliente-uk.livejournal.com]

Yes! She was in the preview for next week. Squee!! :D Sarah Jane and K-9 are two of the things I remember the most about the old series.

It was rather good, wasn't it. DT got to use his own accent which is so pretty. But I did think Queen Vic. allowed Rose and the Doctor to be a little too familiar. I loved the way she told them off for trating all the horror and terror as 'fun although the running 'we are not amused' reference was too cheesy for words.

Departing on Tueday. Will miss it and haven't the facility for recording any more thanks to an ancient TV with no scart connections. ::pouts::

Aww...no Doctor Who! How will you cope? ;)

Have a wonderful trip! I hope you're feeling better now. *hugs*

I'm taking DVDS with me. No Doctor Who, but some Deadwood, Season 2 Carnivale and lots of Angel and Buffy (for research purposes, really). There's also a suitcase full of books bagged from the charity shops, I've been hoarding since before Christmas.

Have a wonderful trip! I hope you're feeling better now
Thanks for asking, I'm no where near recovered and am not looking forward to the trip but there is no way Italy is going to be postponed, I've spent years dreaming about this trip.

We just got back from visiting the Daughter in South London and I'm exhausted again. It was a 2 hour drive each way, via the North and South Circular. She's just sold the house after (full asking price after a day on the Estate Agents' books) spending much time and money puttting it to rights and getting it in beautiful decorative order and this was our last chance to see it before we set off. She'll probably be living somewhere in Wimbledon by the time we return. I bet she forgets to send us her new address!

Sorry to hear you are still feeling poorly, fingers crossed for teh wonders of warm sunshine.

[caliente-uk.livejournal.com]

You probably won't see this now, but I hope the trip turns out to be everything you've always dreamed it would be. I hope you're feeling better soon. Take good care of yourself, Pat. *hugs you*

What was the name of this episode? (Just in case someone was going to start searching for torrents, of course, that's nothing I would ever do...)

[caliente-uk.livejournal.com]

It was called "Tooth and Claw". :)

[fredsmith518.livejournal.com]

It was excellent, wasn't it and for me the crowning glory was the commentator crowing on BBC 1 Wales, a BBC 1 production filmed in Wales, he sounded so proud.

[caliente-uk.livejournal.com]

It really was wonderful. I'm so excited about this weeks episode! :D

[gillo]

I really enjoyed it, though the Victorian Lit buff in me was outraged a few times. And the trailer for next week? How is it possible to wait seven whole days?

[caliente-uk.livejournal.com]

I know! A week is always too long to wait. Only a couple more days to go... :)

[karinalee.livejournal.com]

Hi Cal! Oooo - I love a good scare! *hugs you tight*

And there's going to be ASH, K-9 AND Sarah Jane - all in the same episode? How cool! I'm downloading the new season and watching when I can.

I'm hearing lots of good things about it.

*smoochies*

{{{Karen}}} I miss talking to you. We'll have to talk on YIM again soon. *hugs you tight*

I can't wait for this weeks episode. So many good things to look forward to in one episode! :D

I hope you're well. *smooches you*

So you loved it then!!!! It was so good, wasn't it. Rose seems to be reacting so positively to the differences in the Doctors, much more flirty and happy and teasing. DT switching between accents was great, as was his explanation for nearly naked Rose.

That werewolf was so scary, and so was Queen Victoria at the end, banishing the Doctor and Rose and setting up Torchwood.

We all watched it together, and the girls cuddled up on my lap, burying their heads everytime it got too scary. Chris asked me afterwards if we should have let them (particularly Ellen) watch it, but it would have been practically impossible to stop them without major tantrums and hysterics. There were no resultant bad dreams last night, though.

Really looking forward to next weeks's ep, too.

[caliente-uk.livejournal.com]

I loved it so much! David Tennant is so good as The Doctor. Watching Doctor Who always takes me back to when I was a child, which is one of the reasons I love it so much, I think. It's good old fashioned family entertainment, which is so rfreshing these days! :)

I thought it was very scary for the time of night it was on, but it would be impossible to stop your children from watching it! I'm sure they were fine, with both you and Chris there to protect them from the scary werewolf. ;)

The next ep looks wonderful!

The next ep looks wonderful!

I know, I'm loving all the trailers with ASH and Sarah Jane and K9, and there was a great preview feature in the Radio Times, too.

[hannahclarke.livejournal.com]

I just watched that ep at lunchtime and am totally there with the *squee* factor of it all. DT certainly is a lush Dr and that werewolf was pretty awesome.

[caliente-uk.livejournal.com]

DT is most definitely a lush Dr! *g*

I hope you're doing okay, Hannah. *hugs*

I loved the werewolf!
I loved the pre-change wolf ... definitely love to see more about where or what it was :)

I still miss Nine (What? I do!)
as well you should ... and I won't let you forget that ;P

they're definitely not letting anyone forget about Torchwood - just hope it actually lives up to the hype they're giving it!! *wheeeee*!! *joins in exclamation mark abuse*
