Vampires! Venice!

Nobody on my flist has posted about "The Vampires of Venice". Are you all out agitating for Nick Clegg to deliver PR? Well I loved it. I thought Matt Smith sparkled and I think Arthur Darvill is smashing.

ETA, while watching Confidential: Matt Smith and Francesco da Mosto are together in a gondola! This is why I pay my licence fee.

I'm enjoying the new series, but I'm still not finding it as compelling as what went before.

That sums up my reaction in a nutshell. I was obsessed with Nine and Ten as character-driven (well, let's face it, RTD can't plot worth a damn) drama-with-fun-Who-stuff-attached.

Moffatt-Who is, so far, the fun-Who-stuff, without any of the Angsty Character Drama - taking the show much more back to its roots, really. My inner eight-year-old enjoys it immensely; my adult drama-watching head is not compelled, to the extent that if I miss an episode and end up catching up days later it doesn't seem to be the end of the world.

And my (real) six-year-old is loving it.
