That Doctor Who Quote

Thursday, June 12th, 2008


David Mitchell said something about Doctor Who to someone somewhere so I had to quote it:

“I’d quite like to be Doctor Who and that’s the trouble, I don’t think I’d stand much chance. Nowadays they have to be attractive. In the old Doctor Who you couldn’t ever imagine any of them playing James Bond but in the new Doctor Who they’re all attractive. Tom Baker would never get off with Adric. He didn’t want that.”

I am impressed at the Adric reference yet always suspected David was as geeky as I am.

The obligatory Peep Show bit

Saturday, June 7th, 2008


Well that’s Peep Show done for another year. It was the series where one episode was not written by the usual people, where Sophie’s brother became Sophie’s cousin due to an actor playing a character who wanted to be like an annoying music ‘star’ actually becoming one (in his mind), where I was surprised to see a stand up comedian who I didn’t find funny at all end up playing the best new character the show has had in a while, where we got to see all four cast members of That Mitchell And Webb Sound together in something else for the first time, where they didn’t run out of ideas, where the DVD comes out sooner rather than later:
Peep 5
16th of June? That’s a week on Monday. What a modern world we live in now.

There’s the obligatory boxset re-release that you get every year with this sort of thing too:

God they’re really going for it with that “Bafta award-winning” thing, aren’t they?
