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 …

Post a Comment

I love it when people comment. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?

I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.

Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively adult. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.

Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.

If you can also leave you comments on today’s Teaser Video, that would be good.

Thank you.
