h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

cheers for that link smij

Liked the way he said it wasn't about being nostaglic either coz there are kids watching and for them it's all new. Good to see Daleks and Cybermen re-invented for the new stories.

yeah.

Actually I got it wrong, there's not a link on the forum but if you type Dr. Who Proms into youtube it comes up. Very funny.

"I said to Beethoven, I can rattle off a tune and he said...Pardon?"

Saw Nigel Kennedy playing the theme on an electric violin. Very weird, but great.

Television Without Pity wrote a long but quite interesting analysis of the season, especially with regard to Donna and her role.

Off to watch the mini-ep on youtube.

A better comparison is Press Gang - which he wrote every episode of. Each series had a really good mix of light-hearted fun and very serious issue-based stories.

Utterly brilliant series.

You got a link??

Hopefully we can have some more complicated arcs as well (I may have said that before) but that happens in the

I just read that Donna Dr Who thing that Elentari posted. It's good, very strange though. I liked how it had all sorts of subtle references to things like songs and fire. Good style too, though it's a bit weird at points to think that it's talking about a sci-fi TV show. I enjoyed it though and will be sending the link to other Dr Who nerds that I know. Thanks Elentari!

I really have to watch that mini-ep at some point too.

Yeah, have to get round to finding the mini-story too. Does anyone have a link?

Story arcs are great. Though I'm sure he'll keep up the tradition.

Haven't come across Press Gang before. Some of you seem to have seen it. Any good?

I'm currently watching it. Picture quality isn't great, but it'll do.

Great!! Will watch it now.

I liked that!!!

I beleive I saw a "higher quality" link somewhere...

Oooo...will look when I get the chance.

No worries, Galigan. Glad you enjoyed it. The writing style is quite strange, I agree.

Press Gang was fantastic but I expect you'd have had to be in the right age group at the right time to have watched it. I thought Dexter Fletcher (Spike) was American until I saw The Rachel Papers in the mid-nineties and I thought Lucy Benjamin was the fittest girl alive (and then she appeared in Eastenders as a shortarse! an attractive shortarse, I admit!) Julia Sawahla... well, from Linda to Saffy (in Ab Fab), to Pride & Prejudice, to Jonathan Creek &c., she's been fantastic. But part of me will always think of her as Linda!

Press gang interlude... DONE!

I'll tell you what I like about that mini-epp

I heard it on the radio, and it still worked!

Rumour has it that Julia Sawalah was being considered as the next companion, alongside Richard Graiffiths as the Doctor, before the series was axed.

Well, according to some article I read in Who magazine in the mid 90s, anyway.
