smallhobbit | Doctor Who

I haven't blogged for days, because there didn't seem to be anything particular to say. And I thought about writing about Dr Who, but everyone else has had their say and I really didn't have much to add and then I decided to throw my threepen'orth in anyway.

I enjoyed The Day of the Doctor while it was on. Without thinking about it, because as soon as I started to think it made no sense and seemed self-indulgent. Dr Who to me was running round the playground - pretending to be the Doctor and his companions and having adventures; running round the garden with arms held rigidly forward yelling "exterminate". It was fun, it wasn't meant to have any deep meaning. So, I liked the monster, thought Billie Piper did a good job and got excited at seeing Jonjo O'Neill - an excellent Mercutio.

I was disappointed in An Adventure In Space and Time. Probably an unpopular opinion (again) but I watched for an hour, switched over to watch Person of Interest, which I did enjoy and then iplayered the rest. I think I compared it unfavourably to The Hour which seemed to convey the period much better. Things seemed a little laboured and Verity Lambert kept appearing in a similar version of the dress, so that by the end I was practically yelling at her. Although I think what got to me most was that she didn't normally travel by bus.

And finally The Five(ish) Doctors. Did anyone else spot David Troughton?

So, sorry Doctor Who fans, but I doubt I shall be watching the Christmas episode.
