So many particulars. So many questions.
I lay money on Minister bloke dyeing, after an act of heroism..

It was?!?!? I'm like
I didn't either, though not all that shocked, he just has to be a contrary bugger. I'm dying to hear his explanation though.
That was a good episode!

feck! arse! girls! drink!
My GF thought he was the demon headmaster at first, but yeah, he is very Jack Straw too - hadn't noticed that.
Maybe it was either those 12 voluntarily or the whole Earth after a fight.
The X-Files mytharc included the exact same premise.
My thoughts too - the conversation between Capt Jack & Frobisher where he (Capt Jack) said: "How do you know you can trust them ? They've come back" (or summat like that)

"I say we take off and nuke the site from orbit."
Am really enjoying this although i think the alien is going to be a bit shite !

I liked the shorthand, reading, lip reading, texting, laptop, contact lenses thing. And Mr 10% splashing around like a drunk painter and decorator - good old BBC/Dr Who special effects . . . 
Even 'lactose intolerance' sounds interesting in Welsh. Like. Mon.

That wouldn't be a coincidence. There's a lot of Batman in the first 2 hours, imo.

It's got those references but it feels like a Buffy sensibility - teenage yet more.

It works much better when they just don't show it to you doesn't it? I hope they keep it out of sight for as long as possible, because in most cases the creature turns out to be a bit of a disappointment once you see it.
Another good episode. I'm liking the the spy contact lenses

Wan't too impressed with last night's. I mean, it's alright, and a bit enjoyable. But it's just not right.
I suppose I just really don't get on with Russel T Davis that much. I like silly fluffy fun. But this is just a bit too silly. Something just isn't right, and I think it's Mr Davis.

The woman who plays the evil leather clad killer is Lucy Cohu, she played (brilliantly) Princess Margaret in a CH4 Drama, the guy who wrote the second episode, John Fay, who also wrote Mobile and for Corrie was a colleague of mine on a Community Arts course in Liverpool, a real working class Jimmy McGovern type.
btw, personally I think last nights episode was stretching it a bit, how long does it take to say hello to an alien!

Ooops, major fail there, Lucy Cohu plays the mother, Alice, who has a thing for CJ!
"has a thing for" = "is the daughter of".

Stretching it? Steady! The protocol joke/dig was made and then underlined so def fair enough
I'm interested in why the aliens want the children - it can't be to build a planet of hybrid drunk painter and decorators.
I suppose taking children has historically represented the most evil of evil doing - the flashback to 1965 has the children being driven out onto the Moors to be taken, which has it's own particualr history - but I'm hoping RTD comes up with something absurd like Starship Troopers.
btw, does this remind you of anything:
Stigmata
sexual tyrannosaurus
If aliens really did turn up, then i'd expect the diplomats to take their sweet time. They're walking on eggshells- one misworded statement and you might inadvertently have insulted their grandmother. Then they blow up the sun.

They're paedophiles and the original 12 are now too old to interest them?
