Chris!
But she's not anymore!!  She does weaving.
I read an interveiw in Woman's-Own.
I've also got an interveiw with Peter Davidson about what food he buys.
Apparently he lives off vodka and cornflakes... Whether he combines the
two is anyone's guess.
Well no.  Leela was a nice change.
No cutting comments about grammar... the down side was that she'd
frequently wake with a start and attempt to cut the Doc's heart out, but
then again no woman's perfect.  ;)

Been there did that.  I used to have a green one.
Then I had a big padded parka type thing when I was a bit older.
But the furry hood was the same.
No brummie accent telling me things I already knew about DW though.
Shock horror!  The love triangle is exposed JNT, Adric and the
Cyberleader.
Yeah, he's probably been scripting the series for the past seven years.
That would explain a lot.
And then presumably a tacky gothic gothic effect like sounding like an
organ blast as Sutekh destroys the world.
"But I'm from 1980!"
"Not any longer you strange person who thinks that 1975 is the same as
1980"
Is it?
That might baffle the blokes at the sperm bank.

Who thinks that the fire-hose idea was nicked from die-hard?

The Kochanski from series VII is from another dimension.
Series 8???
Yeah.  Perhaps they should have left RD for a while longer and returned
to it with a fresh eye... But it's done now.
I don't know if it's what I'm thinking of,
But I'm *not* spoiling it.  ;))

Series 8???
And they were cheaper than regular retail too.  ;)
Some joker on our screening very kindly provided a home-made whoosh.  ;)
We were told the names of the ones we were about to see.
Episode 1: Tikka to ride.
Both me and the person I went with thought it sucked and was based on a
joke from series III.
Science-Fictiony, not that many funny bits.
Yeah.  It was generally series VII continued.
Epideme was quite funny.
There were bits that smacked of other stories in it.
Lister meets a very old friend.  :)
