London Deserted

[alexsarll]

Well, that was more like the real meaning of Doctormas, wasn't it? The classic Who story about the evils of big business, a few festive nods without resurrecting the sodding pilot fish, a cameo by the Queen. An "I am the Doctor" speech (I always love those) and Kylie heartrending as Halo Jones x self-sacrifice. Like so many RTD scripts, little lazinesses stop it being a classic - if £1m = 50 million credits, then Tittybangbang woman's topical 'phoneline debt of 5,000 credits is only £100, but hey, that bit was ideally placed for me to recharge my glass. No 'The Hopes And Fears Of All The Years', probably not even a Christmas Invasion, but not a disgrace like last year either. And what do you know, in the trailer at the end, Tate even managed a couple of lines that didn't make me want to tear my ears off!

Also: Merry wobs to you all, even the heretics like half my family who ignore the real meaning of the season and don't watch the Doctor Who special.

Dude I feel the pain - Confidential was shunned in favour of my dad sleeping in front of the Dad's Army repeat. But hey - that's what festivity is all about innit.

Still sod Kylie bring in Keith.

I can't generally be doing with Confidential, too much of RTD's smug face! We played Rummikub instead.
