I just googled her..and no! The pair of them are hideous!
check out those legs though
I'm sorry, what were you saying?
Or did you google the wrong picture?
Ep 1 - Kissogram
Ep 2 - Nightie
Ep 3 - ?
On a different subject, do you think that the "what did you see" approach is the theme for the series (alongside the crack)?
She has good legs, but her face looks like a younger version of Catherine Tate :yuck:
Given the blatant steals/homages to Star Wars ('Help us Doctor, you are our only hope', the trash compactor scene and being inside the belly of a big beast) I'm pretty sure the theme of the series will see the Doctor facing off against Darth Vader in a climatic battle of sonic screwdrivers vs lightsaber
Lightsaber would win, of course.
I'd picked up on those but I thought it might be my Star Wars fetish getting the better of me.
Having said that, am looking forward to Karen Gillan doing the whole "Leia" thing in a later episode now...
When she was floating outside the Tardis and the Dr was holding on to her ankle am i the only one who wondered if she was wearing pants under her nightie? :eek2:
Amy Pond was still hot though.
Weeping Angels next week = win
I wont be watching it again though.

Weeping Angels *and* River Song. Cannot wait
I found the dalek voices quite scary actually! :nervous:
Oh, yeah, there new less understandable voice to go with the rainbow colours
Xx
But Ian McNiece and Bill Patterson were both excellent, and Karen Gillan - does her Mum know she goes out dressed in such a tiny skirt. I also loved the 'Where Eagles Dare' reference - "Broadsword calling Danny Boy" is frankly one of film's greatest lines
I don't think historical accuracy comes into it when England are fighting the war with Darleks
Also, since WHEN did the Tardis have a St. John's sticker?!
Xx
Yeah - I loved the reference there
I really enjoyed the whole episode, I thought it worked pretty well, enough hints of Churchill speeches for a history buff like me to love it.
I really feel it was the Dalek designs that threw the whole thing off. I realise it was probably a decision to go towards something closer to the 60s movie design and maybe, though this would be brutal if true, tie in with the coming video game.
Given something has changed time I think we can assume this isn't supposed to be a permanent change to the Daleks, so I'll let it pass for now. However the actual colours were pretty brutal. White, black, red, that would be fine but Orange?
I'm curious to see if the increased size is going to be a hint that the Kaled inside is actually much closer to something human, that the device may mean that they returned to a much further back in their evolution. Otherwise I can't see much justification to fuck with the elegance of the classic pepperpots.
But yeah, despite all that I loved the whole thing. I like the continuing efforts to show Dr. Who actually meeting some famous historical figures as well. It's something that slowly seemed to die out and it's nice to see it continue to return.
I'd put money on this being an episode Gattiss penned out for RTD's run through and he's adapted it for the new series. Some elements felt like they really harked back to the really silly bits of previous episodes.
Still great though, nothing even close to some of the really terrible Tennant episodes.
Bring on the Angels though, can't wait for next week
It did originally, with Hartnell, as did all real Police boxes. The Tardis has 'regenerated' for this series and they decided to add it in again.
A few people have suggested they were trying to make it look more like Hartnell's original but it most closely resembles the Peter Cushing Tardis from the movies and most importantly the actual design of a Police Box.
I reckon that's what they were after, going back to the design of what it was actually based on.
Feel free to geek out here -

There were originally colourful Daleks though, so I'm not worried about that. Yes the "new" ones were pretty bright, but I'll put that down to the requirements of the HD generation to have bright colours
I did think McNeice was excellent and it was well characterised. He managed to capture both Churchill's ruthlessness as well as his underlying humanity, the bombast as well as the self doubt. And I can well imagine the real Churchill try to pickpocket the Doctor's key.
Btw, going a bit off topic, did you see Into the Storm, Brendan Gleeson played Churchill perfectly and it was a pretty impressive dramatisation of the war years.
The colours are there to imitate moods (like a moodring thingy), which then affects the way that they do things, also the position of the dalek in the group. Such as the white being the "supreme", whits light is a combination of all colours. Red = agression, that dalek probably the attack comander.
CRACK IN THE WALLLLLLL!!!!! :O :O :O :O :O :O
I haven't - I may well track down a copy.
Going even more off topic (at least you were still talking about things on film), if you haven't read it I'd recommend Max Hastings' 'Finest Years: Churchill as Warlord' which is an excellent study of him during WW2
I'll have to track that down, read Nemesis, which is a brilliant work on the Pacific conflict, though also one of the most depressing things I've ever read. So many lives wasted by mistake for so much vanity and ego.
I saw the episode as a great set up for the second part. They still scare the bejeezus out of me, mind.
