New Series of Dr Who

[elevendayempire]

it was alright

yeah somewhat cheesy xmass story but then it is an xmass special

intresting the had the balls to keep the death ending

It's all lovely and romantic, that ending, but I kept thinking in a few hours time she's probably going to be coughing up blood and shitting out her kidneys...

 

[ruffneck23]

Am I missing something but why didn't the dr even attempt to try and save her?

 

[Pingu]

enjoyed that. as christmas specials go it was ace.

and to put something in perspective. on x factor they harped on about what a great voice rebecca had... soryy but compared to jenkins she sounds like a pub singer (vic reeves stylee)

 

[Limejuice]

I want a pint of whatever Moffat was drinking when he dreamed up the gag of fish swimming in clouds. As for song soothing the heart of the savage beast, dear God.

Throughout the whole sad effort my wife and daughter both kept shouting at the screen whenever Ms Jenkins appeared: "Do yer roots, dear! You must have the money."

An utter appalling waste of an excellent Gambon, and the kid acted well too.

The rest? Pfft. Pass the Andrex.

 

[Pingu]

pah

i bet you laugh when tiny tim dies in the muppet christmas carol too

 

[Strumpet]

Enjoyed that

it is preety girl sickness

it's always left a little vauge but tend to leave them a little out of breath prone to fevers and in serious cases coughing up a tiny bit of blood into a hankey so we can be reminded that they are ill

basically she has space TB

I loved it, thought Gambon was amazing and also the young lad, and it totally reconfirmed my view that Smith is the best dr there has ever been, he is so alien / stern / serious / funny / enthusiastic / sad all at the same time. Am going to be devestated when he goes

 

[QueenOfGoths]

I really enjoyed it - kind of unassuming at first but with a bit of depth to the story, great performance from Micheal Gambon and the little boy plus Katherine Jenkins proved herself a good performer. Cheesy but then if you can't have cheesiness at Christmas when can you!

 

[Strumpet]

Yeh I never thought Id like anyone after yummy David but Matt is great imo too

 

[ddraig]

can't believe there's no 'jumping the shark' remarks!
slackers

it was cheesy ai, fun and mad in parts, did wonder whether it was a bbc Wales condition to have singing save the world!

 

[Maurice Picarda]

Meh. Underwhelmed.

 

[badlands]

thought it was poor.

La Jetee mixed with Dickens.

Moffatt loves Chris Marker it seems.

they're hardly comparable though! jenkins is classically trained and has been performing to a high standard for at least the last 15 years. rebecca is 24 and has been singing in her spare time.

 

[Santino]

So future Scrooge is an evil rich tyrant who owns Sky - er, I mean, the sky.

 

[Pingu]

my point still stands though. the reasons why may be a bit unfair but....

anyhow am going round to friends house to get drunk and play guitar hero.. so any comparisons with anyone who actually may be able to sing in any way whatsoever are putting me in mind of a sayoing about glass houses and stones...

 

[claphamboy]

Meh. Underwhelmed.

This ^^^

 

[ericjarvis]

It epitomised absolutely everything I abhor about Christmas. As such I suppose it was the perfect Christmas Special.

 

[zoooo]

Meh. Underwhelmed.

Same.

BUT, the trailer for next series did look like it might have some very good stuff in it.

 

[Maurice Picarda]

Had you really always thought "Ugh. Katharine Jenkins. Humbug!" even as a nipper?

 

[Fullyplumped]

they're hardly comparable though! jenkins is classically trained and has been performing to a high standard for at least the last 15 years. rebecca is 24 and has been singing in her spare time.

And hence, Katherine Jenkins is a better singer.

 

[strung out]

well yes. but she doesn't really make rebecca sound like a pub singer though, which was kind of my point.

 

[ginger_syn]

I enjoyed this christmas special , very entertaining and 'though I dont like Jenkins voice they didn't over do it and at least they waited until the end to stick the silence is falling referance in.

 

[8den]

The rest? Pfft. Pass the Andrex.

For Amy Pond in the police uniform?

 

[Kaka Tim]

And hence, Katherine Jenkins is a better singer.

depends what they're singing though?

She's an opera singer. She would sound shit singing punk rock.

Anyway - Thought the eposode has lots of imagination and excellent performances and worked. Didn't do much for me as I prefer my dr who to have scary monsters and excitement - but I was entertained.

 

[strung out]

she's not an opera singer though

 

[TheHoodedClaw]

she's not an opera singer though

She's a proper mezzo-soprano, and a good one.

 

[strung out]

still not an opera singer, because, err... she's never done any opera.

 

[killer b]

She's a rubbish singer, tbf.

 

[Steel Icarus]

I loathe that kind of singing. Jenkins, I mean, not Ferguson.
