Greatest Moments

Okaaaay …

That was Episode Three, was it?

Hmmm …

Now, if you hadn’t guessed I’m a “Doctor Who” fan, by now, you really haven’t been paying attention.

Have you?

And, like many a fan, I’ve been watching the “Greatest Moments” documentary on BBC3, for the past couple of weeks.

And I’ve got to confess, I’ve been unimpressed.

Hmmm …

Maybe that’s too strong a word.

Usually the various “Dr Who: Confidential” episodes are entertaining “Making Of” pieces and good fun; partly because they show the enthusiasm of the people making the show, as well as the technical side of what goes into an episode.

But I don’t necessarily think that’s what they were trying to do with these.

I’m thinking the “Confidential” crew were going — considering we know what’s to happen at Christmas — were going for a retrospective.

And I don’t know if I was completely happy with that; the three episodes seemed a little shallow for my satisfaction.

But at least — when the narrator of the piece was talking about a certain villain — we got a definite hint that the Master will be making a re-appearance, in December.

What do I mean, hint?

I mean, it’s only been all over the net, for the past three or four months, thanks to the sterling efforts of the Life, Doctor Who & Combom Blog.

How on Earth he does it …

But I’m going sideways, here, aren’t I?

What I’m trying to say is simply this …

That the “Dr Who’s Greatest Moments” was interesting and nice to see.

But it wasn’t the knock out piece of work I’ve come to expect.

Maybe next time …
