Really liked the Agatha Christie episode, so many of her books were spoken in conversation in that episode and most i probablie slipped me by not being that much of a murder mystery fan.
The wasp is referance to Death in the Clouds, which i cooli thought.
The Professor in the Libary with a Lead Pipe, Cluedo.
Stupid EuroVision, means that i don't get my who fix for a fortnight.

I really enjoyed it too. Thats 2 episodes in a row where I have really liked Donna. Too bad she is leaving at the end of this series. 2 weeks without DW or BSG is going to be hard. 
Be sure to check the official website next Saturday though...they said they have a special treat for us...

Nice one, that will be something better than the super camp fest.
Yeah got to agree about Donna, i really like her and im someone who hates the Catherine Tate show. Thought she was great in the first episode and shes really got better i think and she funny. Like it when her Granddad turns up aswell even though it adds a bit of soap to the show.

Same here. No BattleStar Galactica, Doctor Who, or Lost. It makes monkey cry
I suppose I could also go read a book....
I had trouble saying that.RTD and David Tennant are announcing their departure online? Awesome!

I thought Tennant was entertaining for a while but he's a bit of a one trick pony and I now find his rushing around like Road Runner on speed act very predictable and it's partly the reason I've stopped watching Nu-Who for the time being.

Well, you gotta remember that Eccleston was just as quirky and full of energy as Tennant is. Suppose we just have more episodes with Tennant in them to notice.
Doesn't bug me. Tennant is my fave Doc after BIG TOM.
Just watched Genesis of the Daleks again...it's still the best ever episode...
It's just...so good...
And Sarah Jane back in the day...
True but I think Eccleston was far more convincing at being serious or angry when the situation called for it.
Blackhole,
Genesis Of The Daleks was the first Classic DVD I bought and I agree it's the best ever story,some of the 6 parters tend to flag a bit around parts 4 or 5 but Genesis keeps the viewer hooked all the way through,whether it's Tom Baker's eccentric charisma,the Nazi-esque Kaleds or Michael Wisher's chilling portrayal of Davros it's got everything a great Doctor Who story should have and RTD won't come close to matching it even if he stayed as producer for another 20 years.
Here's something I thought we could all love...
Modern Daleks but in the style of the old Daleks...
They look pretty nice...
Quoted for high-droolosity.
ps Dave we need a Dalek gif.

Look like RTD is going then, I thi nk its great that Moffat is taking over. From the who site.
BBC Wales and BBC Drama has announced that Bafta and Hugo Award winning writer Steven Moffat will succeed Russell T Davies as Lead Writer and Executive Producer of the fifth series of Doctor Who, which will broadcast on BBC One in 2010.
Moffat has penned some of the series' most unforgettable and acclaimed episodes - including Blink with its terrifying Weeping Angels, for which he was awarded the Bafta Writer Award 2008 on Sunday 11th May. His previous work on Doctor Who includes The Girl in the Fireplace for Series Two, which earned him his second Hugo Award.
His first was for the Series One two-parter The Empty Child, which became famous for its terrifying refrain 'Are you my mummy?'
For the current series, Moffat has written Silence in the Library, a two parter starring Alex Kingston which transmits on 31st May and 7th June 2008 on BBC One.
Steven's career began with the landmark ITV children's drama Press Gang in 1989, for which he won his first Bafta. Coupling, the hugely popular and award winning sitcom he created and wrote for BBC Two, began in 2000 and ran for four seasons. Jekyll, his six part thriller starring James Nesbitt and Michelle Ryan, transmitted on BBC One last year.
Steven will continue as one of the directors on the board of Hartswood Films which produced Coupling and Jekyll, where he is also working on his new comedy Adam & Eve with wife Sue Vertue. He has just delivered the screenplay for Tintin, the first instalment of the trilogy of films featuring the iconic Belgian comic-strip hero, to Steven Spielberg who will direct it for DreamWorks. Thomas Sangster and Andy Serkis will star.
"My entire career has been a Secret Plan to get this job," said Steven Moffat. "I applied before but I got knocked back cos the BBC wanted someone else. Also I was seven. Anyway, I'm glad the BBC has finally seen the light, and it's a huge honour to be following Russell into the best - and the toughest - job in television. I say "toughest" cos Russell's at my window right now, pointing and laughing."
"It's been a delight and an honour working with Steven," said Russell T Davis, "I can't wait to see where his extraordinary imagination takes the Doctor. Best of all, I get to be a viewer again, watching on a Saturday night!"
"BBC Wales is very proud of Doctor Who's phenomenal success," added Menna Richards, Controller, BBC Wales. "Steven Moffat is an extraordinary talent and we are very much looking forward to him joining the Doctor Who team."
Jane Tranter, Controller BBC Fiction, added her praise. "Scripts and writers are at the heart of what BBC Drama is all about, and especially at the heart of Doctor Who. The past four series have been brilliantly helmed by the spectacularly talented Russell T Davies. As lead writer and executive producer, he has overseen the creative direction and detail of the 21st century relaunch of Doctor Who and we are delighted to have his continued presence on the specials over the next 18 months.
"But the challenge and excitement of the fifth series is now being handed to Steven Moffat. The Tardis couldn't be in safer hands. Steven's talents on both Doctor Who and beyond are well known. He is a writer of glittering brilliance, comedy and depth, with an extraordinary imagination and a unique voice. Steven has a wonderful mix of being a committed Doctor Who fan and a true artist, and his plans for the next series are totally thrilling."
The announcement follows the news that Piers Wenger will take over the role of Executive Producer from Julie Gardner on Series Five of Doctor Who.
"The challenge of taking Doctor Who to a new future is a huge and thrilling one and BBC Wales is blessed to have someone with Steven's extraordinary talent in charge," said Piers." His imagination and creativity have already given birth to some of the series' most unforgettable monsters though in this instance no one need fear; Time, space and the future of The Doctor are safe with him."
Wenger and Moffat are already working closely together on the planning of the series.
Series four has achieved some of the show's highest audience figures to date and forthcoming episodes feature a stellar line up of guests including Lesley Sharp, Lindsey Coulson, Alex Kingston, Colin Salmon and Michael Brandon. Freema Agyeman and Billie Piper - The Doctor's two former companions - have also returned to assist The Doctor in series four.
Doctor Who will return in 2009 with four specials, and the full length fifth series is currently scheduled to be broadcast on BBC One in Spring 2010.
