assistant: G'day All!
Was watching the latest installment of Wycliffe (yet another of those pommy
cop shows people've been bitching about in here recently), and in the final
scene, I said to myself "cripes, that looks a bit like Leela" of a character
I'd been watching for the past hour. And surely enough, it was.
I didn't realise it had been so long....

assistant: ... continued from last message:
The operative word was *philosophy*, not biology.
No, I am implying that PaulDoc's motivations are not consistent with
what they has been. That is, being sexual with a companion, and
getting rid of the threat to the Earth by going back before it
happened!
We'll just have to agree to disagree...
I don't think that a kiss equates with sex, but a kiss can be
*sexual*. And there is a clear sexual implication between Grace and
the Doctor that wasn't present when he kissed Zoe (which was like a
father/daughter thing).
The Doctor has *never* done this with a companion before, and Producer
Phillip Seagal admitted as much.

"Alien Nation" was to me just another cop show. The fact that some of the
cops (and some of the others) were aliens didn't really add anything to
the stories.
"Space Above and Beyond" was basically Vietnam In Space. It never seemd
to get anywhere. I used to watch "The Invaders" when I was young, but
when it was repeated recently it seemd to have lost something. (And I
never knew it was made in colour!). "White Dwarf" I don't know.

characteristics.  Bond is a petty mysogynistic person that I wouldnt want to
hang around with in real life.  Holmes is a stuffy, arrogant oftimes rudes
drug addict, etc. etc.
        Even my favorite Brit hero of all time, The Prisoner, was anti-social

assistant: Mark,

At least he McCoy era had a more 'streety' approach, one of the things I
liked about Survival is the Doctor visits a council Estate, which I
can't recall ever happening before - I always thought there was plenty
of scope for stories set in that environment - Paradise Towers no
withstanding!  "Regulation 4, paragraph 3, sentence 1 - Failure to pay
council tax - Total Extermination".
City of Death is a decent story, too knockaround in places but the best
bit of season 17 (not saying much I know...).  Inferno is well directed
by Dougie Camfield and I liked the parallel universe part, just a shame
we never got to see a evil version of the Doctor - hmmm perhaps it's
because the Valeyard slipped over at the same time as the Doc  and
decided to stay in our universe ;)
Amazing eh?  Nothing like on TV though...
Me:  Can I have a jelly baby Mr Who?
Doc: F**k off little brat...sshhhheshh I hate kids!
