Thoughts on Doctor Who at this early stage of season three

[shinytoaster]

To be sung to the tune of "Colonel Bogie"

Russell, can only write one show
Russell, can only write one show
Russell's, run out of muscle
And wrote a lame end,
for the Face,
of Boh

Seriously, what was with that? "You are not alone, Doctor." Oh, bullshit, Russell never knew what the secret was going to be, he was using the Face of Boh as a deus ex machina. It could have been whatever suited the story arc he clearly came up with at a production staff meeting in the BBC canteen last Thursday. It was an utter cop out that was then further buggered up by David Tennant in Doctor Who Confidential going "ooh, it's not entirely right but it's not entirely wrong" - speaking in his normal voice, and I wish he would either not do that because he effectively makes me forget he's Scottish and it spooks me, or use his normal voice as the Doctor because I thought the BBC was meant to like regional accents these days ... it's not as if anybody can understand Huw Edwards most of the time.

Oh, and once more unto the breech with the gay gags, Russ. "We're not sisters, we're married!" Oh dear, when even the queers are screaming: "Enough, Russell, we think the Straights get it! You're gay. You're homosexual. You're a poof, you're a poofter, you're a ponce. You're a bumboy, batty-boy, backside artist, bugger. You're bent. You are that arsebandit. You lift those shirts. You're a faggot-ass, fudge-packing, shit-stabbing uphill gardener. You dine at the downstairs restaurant, you dance at the other end of the ballroom. You're Moses and the parting of the red cheeks," (as someone, I forget who, once wrote), then there's really no option after that but ritual seppuku on the dancefloor at G-A-Y.

And, dear Lord above... did anybody read that 60 Second interview he did in Metro a few weeks back, where he said "I get sent so many David Tennant action figures for approval, my flat looks like a paedophile's den." Oh yes, smashing. That was exactly the right thing to say. In what universe is that appropriate? Way to confirm everything they think about us! Cock.

Here's a thought. Sack Russell. Bring in Mark Gatiss and Neil Gaiman.

Eh, those four words were seeded in the Doctor Who magazine a year ago. But Tickybox would have been a great secret message.
