Perhaps because she's a bit older? A slightly maturer and more restrained companion might keep the wackiness factor down to tolerable levels. As for the episode itself: wow. The scenes of the hospital being taken to the moon and the arrival of the Judoon were simply awesome. It looks like they've ramped up the SFX for the new series, Matt Mhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08062352280843955046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17782301.post-16453692287584688432007-04-01T16:39:00.000+01:002007-04-01T16:39:00.000+01:002007-04-01T16:39:00.000+01:00Speaking of whom...I thought it was excellent fun....Speaking of whom...I thought it was excellent fun. The drummer and ms drummer and ms drummer's boy all watched it together in silence, just like the old days...great experience. I'm going to reserve judgment on Martha for a bit but I did like the gags, the excitement, the Judoon (they reminded me of the Vogons) and the sense, which I think is going to be developed over this series, of the The Tin Drummerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08357811679771159469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17782301.post-68520151004896364542007-04-01T13:26:00.000+01:002007-04-01T13:26:00.000+01:002007-04-01T13:26:00.000+01:00Ah yes, always the time for joyous felicitations. ...Ah yes, always the time for joyous felicitations.
