Today is mostly filing and cleaning (I'm hosting my reading group tomorrow). And we have one episode of Survivors to finish. However, Tuesday might well see me settled down with a whole bunch of romcoms.
I was tickled by Phil Collinson (sp?) saying in the Confidential that he hoped people were surprised by the end - the nameless hostess sacrificing herself. (I really liked the point about no-one knowing her name - they can't even give thanks to her memory by name.) Er no, we've seen enough of New Who to know that that's exactly what people do do, even if, as in this episode, it's prefaced by a lot of people giving in to their fears and being unable to act against the mob rule. I did sympathise with Dee Dee and Jethro being unable to take the initiative, especially Dee Dee who was working out what was going on.
