Gallagher, that's the one I was thinking of. What's the woman doing acting? Wasn't the divorce settlement enough?

She was an actress first, y'know - and a very good one. She was in the very creepy Armchair Thriller series 'Quiet as a Nun' and played the foundling in Silas Marner.

Course, her defining role is as Pats in Bo' Selector.

Au contraire, she was a bl**dy awful wannabe pop star first.

I had the misfortune of seeing her band, Eigth Wonder murder, I mean play a set at Sunderland Poly while I was there.

"Patsey Kensit; as divisive among Who fans as Colin Baker".

Somehow I don't think that's going to be teh strap line for her next project.

Actually, Blueshark, the acting is waaaay before Eighth Wonder. But surely "I'm Not Scared" is an 80s pop classic?!

Paully

They were dreadful. She was dreadful. She is dreadful.

Agreed.

The woman who plays Chrissie Watts should get an award.

And Letitia Dean should get jammy git of the year award for getting to snog Den Jnr. every episode and still get paid.

Oh, finally something to look forward to on Friday nights! Doctor Who Season One repeats!

Patsy Kensit was a child actress she was the kid in the Pea (Pod went pop) advert in the seventies, she was also Mel Gibson's love interest in Lethal Weapon 2, her South African accent was on a par with Dick van Dyke's 'Cockney'

You mean...

She's NOT South African?



You'll be telling me she doesn't like peas next!

And, you not going to believe this she has a thing for Rock Stars

We need a sarcastic Smiley

Sorry, started something there. I just get offended by bad acting!

She was the Victoria Beckham of her day

Ouch!
I'm not sure she's that bad.

she definatly spent more time in the papers than she did on screen

She was one of those "rock chick" types, emulating Marianne Faithful, Patti D'Arbanville..

A very apt description there GB

Getting back on topic:
Looks like the mystery of 23-6-801 has been solved....

From the BBC Doctor Who website:
"[It] started as a mistake on the Psalm board in episode 8, and became a bit of misleading fun."

This is UNIT News' version of the story The Sun was carrying yesterday:

I haven't seen the original article. The Sun asks you to *pay* for articles from previous editions, and I'm damned if I'm paying for that rag!

Did you see Chris Ecclestone on the "Pride of Britain" show, poor lad had to stand on the edge of the stage while they "beamed" him in.

Digital Spy is reporting Eccleston's anger at Alan Davies for saying that he quit Doctor Who because he had been run into the ground by the BBC:
