What I want to know is... are we ever going to actually see Barcelona?

Yup, 'The Impossible Planet' and 'The Satan Pit' were just fantastic. The show's getting stronger and stronger each week. It was a great departure from the show's regular style of story telling, and it was handled brillantly too.

I loved the 'knight rider' style communicator watches. It was pure camp sci fi.

Also, the two parter sort of reminded me of those old BBC shows like 'The Quatermass Experiment'. It had a very theatre-esque feel to them.

The Ood are by far my favourite Who creatures now. The prosthetic/ animatronic work was top notch.

Minor spoiler ahead:

The best line had to go Billie Piper, when she said: 'Go to hell' at the end though.

Next week's episode is going to be side splittingly hi-larious. I'm looking forward to it. I've heard a lot of good press about it.

I can't believe they got Peter Kay on board!

With regards to the style, it's your standard 'blue collar sci-fi' style that was pretty much started by Alien and was followed by quite a few films and TV series' since... including a certain one we all know very well ;)

I like it... space looks better when it's populated by real people and real-looking starships instead of by neat-freaks in tight jumpsuits and their super-white vessels.

"My God - you're like a trained ape. Without the training."
"Come a day there won't be room for naughty men like us to slip about at all..."
"SUMMER!!"

Love & Monsters looks as British as bangers and mash. Peter Kaye and Marc Warren from Hustle!

And speaking of The Satan Pit, that, ladies and gentlemen, is how you make good television. Let's hope we they can do more good.

If you remember, another famous comedian, Simon Pegg, played a very good villian in last season's Doctor Who.

Camp, yes, but wonderfully so.

Never underestimate the British.

Fantastic two parter.

I would have commented yesterday but the best Superhero movie thread has inspired me to re-read Watchmen and right now my free time belongs to Alan Moore (damn its a *bleeping* good novel!)

Anyway I Enjoyed these episodes immensely, but I have to admit my favourite episode so far this series is still Girl in The Fireplace. What can I say, I'm a romantic.

Who do you suppose is in there?

That's what is so great about Who, it delivers real variety (who said it was dead?) and you can get a group of ten fans and they can all have a different favourite episode from one season.

I still think Who is on peak form when doing the "folk trapped in a small area, monsters come, they have to fight, lots of them die" routine.

That two parter hit on so many levels, particularly the music and the special effects, both of which really went to new heights for the series.

Haven't seen Confidential / Out of Africa. If it was an orchestral bit, it was probably the second movement of my man Mozart's Clarinet Concerto.

If you liked that, try the Clarinet Quintet. The 2nd movement uses the same notes and is equally stunning.

One of my favourite bits was

They arrive, have a recce, it looks like something very bad is going down. "Maybe we ought to get back in the TARDIS?" ...Beat... then they fall about in "Like that's ever going to happen" giggles...

Really impressive in the quieter bits down the pit. Good to see a scriptwriter brave enough not to rush past the poignant stuff.

And I can see the TARDIS rating quite high in this year's "Caravan and Caravan Accessories Magazine"
Poll.

Hopefully Peter Kay will rule. I got it wrong with Roger Lloyd-Pack. I need redemption.

Rose goes!

An article in the times said Rose is killed by the Cybermen in the series finale!

On the upside, Jack comes back in series 3!
