  1. Calling The Doctor

    June 28, 2008 by dafyd

    According to this week’s Doctor Who, the Doctor’s phone number is 07700 900 461.

    The Doctor's phone number

    Alas, “The number you have called has not been recognized”. BBC, you disappoint me. Why feature the number so prominently (full screen, at least three times) if it doesn’t do anything? Would it really have been that difficult to put a recording of David Tennant at the end of the phone?

    Somehow, I think next week it may prove important…

    Update: Seems the number falls within the range of numbers reserved by Ofcom “for drama purposes”. Pity.

    Still can’t work out what happened last night. I have a vague feeling that the idea of them being “one second in the future” will be important, as will the Doctor’s spare hand. And I wager John Simm (The Master) may make a return… after all, we’ve seen everyone else.

  2. Who

    June 16, 2007 by dafyd

    For those who watched Doctor Who tonight (and if you didn’t, why not?)…

    My name is The Master. I had an accident, and I woke up at the end of the universe. Am I mad, in a coma, or back in time? Whatever’s happened, it’s like I’ve landed on a different planet. Now, maybe if I can work out the reason, I can get home.

    I confess, I was rather hoping that John Simm would be the next Doctor. Ah well, as long as they don’t kill him at the end of this season, I’ll be happy. I assume we’re going to discover that he is the Mr Saxon that kept appearing in posters and conversations earlier in the series. I do like a good hidden treasure hunt sort-of-thing – like the “Bad Wolf” plot from the first season.

    And I was glad to see Captain Jack back. After all, we can’t have BBC One’s Saturday evening schedule without John Barrowman, can we…?

    If you’ve not been watching the new series of Doctor Who, it’s not too late. Two episodes of this season left – and the last four have been absolute corkers. Last week’s was some of the very best television I’ve seen for a while, and the double episode the previous two weeks was even better.

  3. Ricky Gervais in Kenya

    March 20, 2007 by dafyd

    This was, without doubt, one of the very funniest bits of the Comic Relief telecast on Saturday. Quite how he manages to subvert absolutely everything about the charity is rather impressive…

    Catherine Tate wasn’t bad – certainly, the DVD wouldn’t be a bad investment (£5 to charity…) – if only for the image of Tony Blair (the Tony Blair) asking “Am I bovvered?”. And David Tennant: “Are you the doctor?” “Doctor who?”. And the whole Deal or No Deal sketch… Very, very funny.

    I’d love to see the Cybermen who say “ni”.

    And I promise I will write something about Spamalot, ‘cos it was awesome. Eventually. Scout’s honour.
