New Who?

[Steve J]

We saw the last few minutes of Tumble, which was truly, truly awful. Who the hell thought that this would make good primetime TV? I feel sorry the the judges and presenters who have to endure this live every week, talk less of the audience. I hope they didn't have to pay...

They're running out of things to get celeb to do. My guess will be that the next will be celeb assassins. "this week Kerry Katona is going to attempt to take out a high ranking minister with just one pound of C4, and will Kevin Pederson allow for windage in his third attempt on the scientist?"

Actually ... I'd watch that.

Could we not assassinate the celebs instead - a sort of Hunger Games for the famous?

Although this may be the side effect of giving them high explosives to play with...

I have long argued that the two most popular types of show on TV are reality shows and nature programs and that a combination of the two would be a sure winner.

Put a bunch of wannabees or D-List celebs in a house together that's wired for sound and vision.

Every Friday night freeze the house floors and release a large, hungry tiger into the house. Once a contestant has been eaten remove tiger.

Repeat until only one contestant remains uneaten.

"Celebrity Get Me Out Of Big Nature Watch Deathmatch On Ice" anyone?

It's got to be a winner. Surely the Dutch already do it?

I think in the Dutch version they give them a pole to see if they can jump the crocodile infested moat and escape

That would work. Let's start with Towie.

I'd watch 'Celebrity Cannibal Island'.

Celebrities are trapped on a 'desert island' with no food and only a blunt pen knife each, the last uneaten celebrity is the winner...and the following week gets a sharp pen knife and a whole bunch of new celebrities!

There is no escape from 'Celebrity Cannibal Island'...MAW-HA-HA!

As for the new Dr Who, I don't watch it...in fact I stopped watching it when a space Titanic crashed into Buckingham Palace...just how 'silly' is that? Come on ask yourself seriously, is this classic Dr Who? Since they've been spending money on it the scripts and plotlines appear to have gone out the window.

I've been a watcher since Hartnell so I've had time to compare them all. Liked most of them although the music for some of the Pertwee shows got right on my t*ts. Wasn't too keen on Davidson or McCoy, but the latter crop have all been good as has the writing for them. Some of the plot lines are a bit suss but after all this is Dr Who.
   I also played 'Spot the Reference to previous Dr's' with Ma Subs (who thinks Tennant rocks by the way) and thought Capaldi's initial slightly manic and disorientated style was well done.
   Overall, I'll watch the rest to see how it pans out.

The Doctors in order, best to worst.

1.  Tom Baker - the best by far, he is THE Doctor, the rest are A doctor
2.  Matt Smith
3.  Christopher Eccleston
4.  Sylvester McCoy
5.  William Hartnell
6.  Patrick Troughton
7.  Peter Davison
8.  Paul McGann
9.  Colin Baker
10. Jon Pertwee
11. David Tennant

Peter Capaldi - TBC, but looking like 2nd or 3rd in first evidence.

Such a personal thing. I'd go

1.  David Tennant
2.  Tom Baker
3.  Matt Smith
4.  William Hartnell - without whom none of the others would have had a role to play
5.  Christopher Eccleston - great actor but too macho for Dr Who IMHO
6.  Paul McGann
7.  Patrick Troughton
8.  Sylvester McCoy
9.  Colin Baker
10. Peter Davison - like him as an actor but not as Dr Who
11.Jon Pertwee - got on my nerves

I'd agree with "Peter Capaldi - TBC, but looking like 2nd or 3rd in first evidence."

John Hurt as the pre-Doctor Doctor was a lovely cameo

[Leman]

Now I really liked Christopher Eccleston in the role - I quite like it when the Doctor kicks ass. I have a feeling Peter Capaldi is going to be excellent; cerebral, sinister and quite hard.

I think should watch more television if all this is on Dutch TV already?
I will also certainly check if there's something like a 'Top 10 Celebrity wish list' for those that have to go first...

Cheers,
Rob
