On that note, 1970s!Tom Baker is now one of my biggest crushes :P

Aaah. Now I understand what you have in common with our Kelly... Welcome btw.

To all Doctor Who doubters: It really isn't necessary to watch Doctor Who from the beginning . You can catch up on any episode, no problem. Everyone knows the basics. Time Lord, travels through time, has a police box that's deceptively large on the inside, fights monsters... That's pretty much it.

You ought to be ashamed of yourself that you've never seen it Kirsty!;) Bit like Scott and his rubbish TV history (only started watching Friends a year ago) and Jono's aversion to James Bond.

I thought tonight's episode was pretty good. Loved The Doctor using a water pistol on a nasty monster. It was pretty emotional too, as usual.

See, Kelly? I've been a member here barely a week and you've already ruined me! :P

On topic, I liked the episode as a whole. Not too sure towards the end when we had that bit of Tinkerbell Jesus Doctor God though.

That's nothing to boast about. Cross Ref. Jono and James Bond.

Seriously?

There's someone else who's never watched a Bond movie? I always seem to start them and get bored after the first 10 minutes.

But then again, I only started watching Who this year because my mum hates it and as I don't have a TV in my room, couldn't watch it so i never got into it. Now I have the iPlayer/my mum has decided that she does like Tennant. Also, Torchwood - Amazing. Most people who watch it that I know never watched an episode of Who.

I think I can tolerate Ms Tate - just. The mark of an actual actor though is they make you forget that they aren't really the character they're portraying. For example David Tennant was completely convincing as Casanova when he was in that, now he's completely convincing as the Doctor. John Sim was completely convincing in Life on Mars, then again completely convincing as the Master on Doctor Who. And a short, middle aged, dumpy Dame Judi Dench totally convinced me that she was Cleopatra.

When I see Ms Tate, all I see is Ms Tate.

UM is a nice place

Ahhh I liked Dr Who today.

I am now debating whether it's worth winding up my housemate by texting her something along the lines of 'I can't believe he got shot!' as she has told us she can't watch it till tomorrow. She's at home for the next two weeks though... so would have forgotten by the time I see her next. Possibly.

There/ They're/ Their. Different words.

Haha. Bad Bumbley!

Good episode. Less jokes than usual, but I thought it made a pertinent statement about child labour/treatment of livestock. Catherine Tate was irritating every now and then - but I think she's supposed to be. She's become the Doctor's conscience now. She'll do.

Martha's back next week!

I have noticed on other websites I post on that Catherine Tate is acquiring a lot of defenders, though there is still a sizeable minority that loathes her.

Philosophical Question of the Day: Is a 'sizable minority' technically 'a minority', or possibly 'a majority'? Hmmm. Nati ponders.

Anyone here watch it?

what did ya think?

I thought it was bloody good.

*fuller review coming soon when I've watched the repeat either later tonight or tomorrow.

I've never been into Doctor Who. I did try watching it when David Tennant came on the scene, but I couldn't stand Billie playing a chav and her chav family. It was just annoying and disappointing they had to do that. ¬_¬;

Then there was the nurse, I think she was? I only saw one or two episodes with her in and I liked it, but I kept missing it because my TV didn't work (except for my gaming consoles) and I didn't make an effort to see it any other way as it's not something I'm used to watching and wasn't really too fussed about.

And now they've put Catherine Tate in it who I can't staaannnd. I can't look at her without seeing that little chavvy school girl.

When will they put a companion in it that I like, and don't end-up with no TV to watch it on!? Ah well...

    • For some reason there is 'Summer on Radio 1' listed on Sunday 2nd June, could this be replacing M&M until July?
    • They seem to be using James more for cover now makes me think it will be him getting weekends eitjer breakfast or 1 till 4 
    • Yep am very much Capital Breakfast now. Jordan, Chris and Sian are a great trio and it's got that feel of the old shows Jordan and Chris used to do on Radio 1. It doesn't take itself too seriously but is packed full of content and slick. With Greg he's great but 6 years in you've probably heard it all before plus frankly I can sit through the Capital Playlist a lot more easily than the Radio 1 playlist (where some of the inclusions and omissions can be quite baffling at times). Plus after things like the Oscars or Met Gala or if there's a particularly big TV show or film or popstar then Greg won't half wang on about it at times. I guess it's partly to be expected with it being a Breakfast show on a young station but it can feel very London bubble and get tired.
    • Ore Olukoga is in for Arielle on Tuesday 14th May. James Cusack is in for Danny Beard on Saturday 1st June. James Cusack is in for Nat on Sunday 2nd June.
    • I honestly never thought in a million years I’d move from Radio 1 to be a regular Capital breakfast show listener. But it’s got pretty much everything I want - 3 really genuine, entertaining mates having a laugh, playing silly games and it all sounds great. I became a big fan of Chris from his days with Scott, became a Jordan fan on Going Home, and Sian Welby is newer to me but is loads of fun too.  It’s great and I’ve shocked myself by transferring my listening at breakfast. For me Greg’s show now feels very tired and it’s time for something new. But with Jordan gone that’s unlikely to happen anytime soon. Greg’s had a great run and I’m a fan - but there’s no new ideas now. I still listen to Radio 1 at other times - but this show feels like very serious competition for Greg. 
    • They have built four new studios to increase capacity, alongside the existing six.  Bearing in mind that some of the output of R1, 1X, R2 & 6M comes from elsewhere, and Asian Network is gradually moving all output to Birmingham, this should be enough!
    • How do they manage to cater for 6Music and Radio 2 on that floor? Did they adapt it? 
    • I think we've all figured out now how much you like it @AndyK77 😂 Personally while I think it's by far the best show on the Capital schedule and better than its predecessor, it still has the shortened songs and other commercial-radio aspects that remind me why I'm a Radio 1 fan. No matter how well this has worked out for Jordan, and all credit to him for landing the job, I can't help but feel that a Jordan and Katie show on R1 breakfast would have been so much better!
    • A few weeks in and I am actually loving the show and Jordan is a nice mix of his old chaotic self and dare I say it a slick jock.
    • He must be in his element. At Eurovision and a Gold award!
    • I really like Rylan, and as much of a fun idea it would be to have Scott and Rylan together, I think Rylan is too much of a main character.  Scott needs a side-kick rather than a full on co-host I think. That’s why he and Chris worked so well, Scott steered the show, and Chris was the perfect person to have alongside him.    I don’t religiously listen to Rylan’s show, but when I do catch it, it’s perfect weekend energy. He has a very warm presenting style too, but something makes me think he and Scott together every day would be a bit too much.     
    • So pleased for Scott on his best entertainment show win. As much as I miss his R1 style, he clearly puts so much into his shows, well deserved and it’s a big two fingers up to all the abuse he has had since joining R2
    • There are a lot that share your sentiments. People have made comparisons to the different takes to Ukraine. 
    • It's a big 'No' from me (Israel-Palestine). No further comments.
    • A joke about pirates: ‘but we’re not jumping ship, like someone else’
