Wallowing in my own weltschmertz

Oh, I'm pleased with this new icon. And while I'm on the subject, did not the prison sequences rock mightily? Like someone made Brazil for the telly, which makes it instantly better, being for the telly. I think this episode was just like The Happiness Patrol, only with more Daleks. This is a compliment.

Nice one! It's a great picture of him, too.

Feeling very sad about him going so soon. (Why yes, the glass *is* half-empty. How did you know?)

I wish he was staying longer, I feel like he's just hit his stride.

Very much. S. and I were just talking about that last night.

But I think he's been fantastic to have in this relaunch, and I wouldn't change that, even though it's too short a time.

Agreed. It's better to have someone great play the part for a season and leave voluntarily, than to have had a disappointing season and not be asked back to do a second series.

I think he's been fantastic as the Doctor. I am sad about him leaving but I'm also looking forward to seeing what Tennant (sp?) makes of it.

I'm hoping to watch 'Casanova' soon on DVD, and I'm going to be interested to see how he is in that.

It's a marvellous icon.

I think this episode was just like 'The Happiness Patrol', only with more Daleks.

I've never seen The Happiness Patrol. I've missed out. Maybe next time we meet up, if we're somewhere that has that facility?

We will need to be somewhere which supplies: a VCR and a copy of The Happiness Patrol! It's only been released on video and we sold ours off!

Glad you like the new icon. He has a good face for icons.

How come you sold off such a wonderful piece of televisual magic?

It is a good face for icons. Maybe because of the ears? ;-)

So we could buy them all again on DVD!

*nods wisely*

You sold it off!? I can hear the sound of illusions toppling!

I've never seen it either, but I'll get it when it appears on DVD...

[identity profile] altariel.livejournal.com 2005-06-14 11:48 pm (UTC)(link)
We sold off all the tapes to fund buying the DVDs!

[identity profile] glitterboy1.livejournal.com 2005-06-15 12:59 am (UTC)(link)
Ah. An understandable strategy! And one that involves much less guilt than having the tapes *and* buying the DVDs....

Guilt over tapes and DVDs seems to be fine. Space is another matter!
