Why does it please you when you don't even like the show?

It could be good, if they'd stop making it shit. Series 1 was pretty good, series 3 was very good, series 5 was great. It's not my fault so much of the rest - and especially the last four years - has been so fecking dire.

Power of the Daleks is out in Australia on DVD in December. No need to import to get it for Xmas then!
There's also going to be a limited number of cinema screenings here (though probably nowhere near me!)

Just been at Townley Garden Centre at Townley Hall, Burnley, and there among the Christmas trees was a TARDIS.

Naturally i pushed the button on it several times to see and hear the dematerialization sound and lights followed by the Tennant theme.

It all looked far more Chrismassy than this pic suggests.

Episodes of 'Class' are available to watch here: BBC iPlayer - Class - Series 1: 1. For Tonight We Might Die

Just click 'yes, I have a TV license' and 'yes, I am over 16' when prompted

My thoughts for the first minute - poor CGI effects and a theme song with lyrics!

Then I turned it off

I gave it a chance.

Turned it off after 15 minutes.

I was messing about the other day with my camera whilst watching Remembrance of the Daleks.

Here's the results.

There are a lot of strong rumours although not confirmed that the classic series writer is Rona (Survival) Munro.

If so i'm happy as i really rate Survival.
