Missed posting about this before seeing part two But it was a good 'set-up' episode. Cheers, daveac

Good to watch a two-parter where the second part isn't a let-down - but for all that I enjoyed the story - it was the last few minutes that really made it for me. Gives a whole new meaning to the final episode title. :-( Cheers, daveac

Mostly enjoyed it but the humour (which was good) changed it from a 'scary' episode into a sort of 'romp' Top notch prduction values on the 'historic' look and mostly an entertaining episode. We've done both a Review Episode and a Commentary on this already :-) Cheers, daveac

A solid episode rather than great. It gave the companion a chance to shine - 'Bonny Scot brings down the English monarch' :-) Seemed a little like Gridlock (inverted) where there the 'creature' (Face of Boe) was above - keeping the Humans safe below. Cheers, daveac

I loved it. It was a great start to this new era of Doctor Who. The story was good enough and the 64 minutes allowed time for us to get to know the 11th Doctor and Amy a little. There were a couple of niggles - the spaceships & this 'coming threat' - I mean the world could have ended in...

These trailer do get you going .... we did a 1 hour podcast based just of one of the BBC trailers (around 30 seconds long) and a BBC America 1 minute trailer. And of course here in the UK Matt Smith was on the J Ross show (Friday) with another new clip. Role on Episode 1 Cheers, daveac

'I ventured that William Gibson had practically invented the concept of "cyberspace", but it became obvious that neither he nor anyone in attendance knew who Gibson was and, consequently, couldn't relate to the idea.' Not heard of William Gibson? that does seem strange. Not a lot to add...

Not at the Movies - but the only DVD I've bought that I couldn't make it to the end - was Sahara - terrible. Cheers, daveac

Checkout 'Carpool' there is a nice 'interview' - second link on the righthand list:- Llewtube Cheers, daveac

Well the Timelords gave The Master a complete new set (or at least promised him a complete new set) during the Time War - so it seems to be an 'imposed' limit not a natural one. With the Timelords - for all practical purposes - being out of existence then I would think the limit doesn't apply...

Just finished re-reading this book. I did enjoy it but still not sure of the source of rejuvenation. Cheers, daveac

Loved 'Hot House' I first read that when it was in the 'SF & Fantasy Magazine' - I think it was in more than one part. Cheers, daveac

Thanks for the comments. The science book doesn't ring a bell - most of the science I read is about 'the very large' not the small. ie. Space & Time Cheer, daveac

I'm re-reading 'The Postman' by David Brin Cheers, daveac

Thanks :-) I think I can post links now (16 posts) so here a link to some more of my SF books ( list includes a few non-fiction books) Good Science Fiction Stories Cheers, daveac

Yep! Count me in as another big fan. Looking forward to the re-make of 'Day of the Triffids' - although I though John Duttine was great in the 1980's version on TV. Cheers, daveac

I agree - it was easy to pick them out on the book cases. I even bought a few from the library went they were updating. Just to my left is 'Starburst' by Frederik Pohl Cheers, daveac
