Did anyone watch it? I actually shrieked with excitement at the end. 
|

|
Same! And then Hamlet!
|
|
|
|
Yes, it was fun. Looking forward to the next episode.

Very very jealous.
Living in America now I don't get it anymore. The BBC iPlayer is only available in the UK. If you know of any way I could get to see it I would be very happy! I'm sure the DVDs will be out eventually but I'm not sure I can wait that long! We used to have the technology of taping stuff off the telly.
Christmas just wasn't the same without the Dr. Who special!

And did anyone hear David Tennant on Desert Island Discs yesterday morning? A man whose luxury is a complete box set of The West Wing is even more of a god to me than before - and who thinks a Billy Bragg lyric is the finest lyric in the English language. And he was so NICE! I am so in love.

Me too, Rosy. He was just lovely, wasn't he? I didn't know he was a big lefty until yesterday and love him even more than I did before now.
Jenzarina, I really sympathise 
Wish I could somehow beam it into your living room!

Missed the DIDiscs but willl catch it Friday. My daughter, the music buff, has fallen out of love with him however, because of some of his dubious music choices, though I'll give you that he is redeemed by The West Wing.

Oh dear, I loved all his music (as well as his politics and his general loveliness). Must be because he is old (though obviously not nearly as old as me). My daughters felt the same about his chosen tracks.

I thought it was ok but I just don't like John Sims as the Master. He overacts horribly and I wish they'd stuck a bit closer to the traditional Machiavellian Master. He was much more sinister!

Agree about the Master, Waxy. He was just bonkers instead of being sinisterly scarey and sexy, which he could have been.
|
|
|
|
I thought he was ok but as you say - not quite sinister enough?

We did like Hamlet

I liked John Simm's performance, personally. But then he's another of my favourite actors so maybe my critical faculties weren't at their sharpest!
|
|
|
|
I love John SImm too, but I didn't like this performance.
|
|
|
|
Ditto. He's great in the Lakes, Life on Mars and Human Traffic, but I think Sims is miscast as the Master.

I agree he's all wrong for the Master.
