A good exposition of how wrong the first world war (or any other since) is too I thought. Didn't preach it, but it was there.

I actually liked the way Tennant got to show how he now inhabits the role of the Doctor, by not playing him most of the episode. You instantly knew when he was back...

And did noone notice the pictures in the book - the different doctors of old? Shame Eccleston wasn't visible though.

I didn't see the pictures, no. :( I know what you mean about knowing he was back though. There was a sense of "Hooray! Everyone's safe now!". You're right, he plays the role extremely well.

One thing that grated on me was the fact that he asked Joan to go with him. Hello? Martha! What would he have done if she'd said yes? Left Martha at home? That's annoyed me throughout the series. Rose was average, and slightly rubbish, but he loved her to pieces. Martha, on the other hand, is made of awesome and obviously adores him, yet he treats her as if she doesn't exist!

:) It was well written, but I found the plot a little disappointing, apart from its take on WW1. The young actors however were fantastic. Creepy as hell. We'll definitely be seeing them again.

Next week's episode looks promising...

I didn't cry at the end Kelly, but the speech Martha made about her loving the Doctor but him not knowing she exists brought a tiny little tear to my eye. :oops:

Yeah, that was really sweet! But did the Doctor know that she had said that once he was back, 'cause when they were about to go back in the tardis, she said something like "All those things I said, it was just to get you back" then he said "of course"? :confused:

HELP ME I CAN'T SLEEP AFTER WATCHING THAT. THAT WAS THE MOST TERRIFYING THING I'VE EVER SEEN AND THAT'S WITHOUT THE SCARY WEBSITE ANGEL THINGY.

I really did love every minute of it, but I can't sleep and the ending's made it even worse. :cry: HELP.

ARGH!

There aren't any staues in your house are there Kelly? So keep your curtains drawn and everything locked and you'll be fine.

Must say, I'm not planning on going near any statues for a while.

And its impossible to not blink for several minutes, in fact it's a reflex and happens about every 10 seconds..I did try though, I really tried...

UM is a nice place

I live in what's basically a wooden box, but there is still no sleep to be had. :cry: I think they want to kill me.

Also, one of my lovely cousins e-mailed me this picture:

with the caption "She'll live because she never blinks."

I think I need to smoke something.

Of course I'll try to catch it tomorrow night on BBC3.

I thought the trailers looked reallly good, and all your comments have swung it.

I'm also slightly less wimpy than I used to be, thank goodness.:D

      I must have missed that yesterday, sorry! Scott did make the same tongue in cheek comment on today's show about Rylan. It's a shame Rylan isn't the go to cover for Scott, I assume his commitments away from R2 prevent that. I enjoyed his last cover stint. Spoony is the go to stand in for the mid afternoon slot (he's covering again week after next while Scott's off getting married).   In that case, I think you're right!

      Not that last minute. Scott was talking about it on his own show yesterday, saying he and Rylan have a deal where they cover each other's shows but Rylan only covers Scott when he can be bothered!

      Sorry I should have been clearer, I meant daytime weekday. Weekend shows would count as a 'step up' from overnights for OJ.

      If we're counting the overnight slot, OJ Borg regularly covers weekend shows.

      The only weekday R2 DJ who would ever cover a weekend slot?!

      What I assume is a very last minute change... Scott Mills is in for Rylan today.

      Radio 1 Schedule Changes

      Radio 1 at Parklife will be presented by Vicky and Nat. Nat is currently listed to present her usual Sunday show on that weekend but I imagine that will change and someone else will be doing it instead. The Radio 1 presenters at Download will be Daniel P Carter, Jack Saunders, Alyx Holcombe and Nels Hylton.

      Going Home with Vick, Katie and Jamie

      He’s definitely gotten better and the show has sounded fine this week. I think it been at its best when it’s been Katie and Jamie or Vick and Katie. Vick and Jamie are ok together, but I do think the show sounds better when it’s Vick and Katie and therefore I still don’t really understand the point of the trio.    Jamie is, however, a lot better than Danny Beard!

      The RAJAR coming on later this year reflecting later summer to autumn will be interesting to how it reflects Matt and Mollie in afternoons to the revised changes on radio 1’s new music slots and the schedule re-shuffling Radio 3 introducing a new slate of programmes. Then, later on this year have speech radio stations having domestic political coverage of the election but also America’s presidential election.

      I actually caught snippets of today’s show, and I found it much better than the last time I listened. I have made it no secret that I like Jamie on the radio, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed Matt & him together last year. People have criticised him for not being relatable, but I have to agree with the comment above that I have always found him a naturally warm person to listen to. Maybe the going home set up was something that needed settling in and things are starting to take shape.  It must have been difficult for him joining an established duo in Vick & Katie to begin with.  Jamie was great on something songs today, fully engaged in the caller and sounded like a real presenter. Maybe he is doing as a lot of us hoped and really learning as he goes, how to do it properly.

      Agree with this. The anti-Jamie feeling was IMO quite influenced by the negativity around him replacing Jordan, since Jordan was exceptional and also universally loved. When people mention Danny and Jamie in the same sentence about bad hiring decisions I almost choke - Jamie may not be perfect but he's several leagues better than Danny already and has bags of potential. Danny is poor and has shown zero potential...

      Jamie started 4 March, and the figures only going up to 31 March, so it isn't reliable. But it has shown the numbers have dropped in afternoons compared to last quarter. It looks like it's Capital's gain.
