Default Christmas Who

I'm going to guess that over the pond you may not have caught up with this, but still...thoughts?

Also, Russell said he'd have liked Hitler to play the Doctor. Tasteless cheap shot?

Well, I'm still waiting for my local PBS station (terrestrial) to air anything past Eccleston's last appearance ("The Parting of the Ways"?) and I'm not sure what the folks with cable (BBC America?) or the Canadians have and haven't seen, but the impression I've gotten was generally favo(u)rable.

Not sure what to make of the Hitler comment; it seems to be lacking some context.

Davies was asked which figure from the past he'd like to play the Doctor at some interviewy thing at which he and Tennant and a whole load of fans were.

Well, then, I'm still not sure what to make of it. It might be a rather ill-considered attempt at a joke, or it could be a reference to something which came before, but I've got no idea what that might be. If it was a planned response to a softball question, however, it would definitely strike me as being in poor taste.

I didn't like it so much. In fact, none of the people who were watching it with me liked it either. It was panto, and I did not tune in to see panto, I tuned in to see Doctor Who. Bleh.

I haven't seen it yet, but I look forward to doing so in entirely legal fashion without breaking any laws about what is and isn't legal.

(Now watch me crush Valium and PHJ's spirits...)

Hey, if you didn't like it, at least there's the new season of Torchwood to look forward to.
