[Immi666]

will others who have just seen the doctor who finale please share in my indignation.

[auntiebertie]

What indignation - it was fantastic and I admit I was crying at the end - willing them to say that they loved each other..aaahhhhhhhh

[PinkFlower]

i no!! i was crying...he never got 2 say he loved her :'( and i dont often cry at tv!! and catherine tate!dr who hads a shock coming!

[Immi666]

i was crying at the ending, with him not telling her he loved her. but they cant replace her with catherine tate!!

[ermintrude35]

...Catherine Tate is NOT his new companion, she is just the star of the xmas episode ..."the runnaway bride".....

[PinkFlower]

the new companion is the mixed race girl that was the first one to be controlled by the cybermen in tourchwood, her name is freema agyeman

[sheffwed39]

bring back john pertwee. what a croc of shyte.

[Immi666]

oh thank god! i'm sure catherine tate is a brilliant actress, i know she's hilarious in her show, but i cant see her as a new companion.

as for the girl u mentioned, wasnt she killed?

[just jools]

OH. MY. GOD! How brilliant was it tonight? Thought I was being brave cos I didn't get upset when I thought Rose was gonna get sucked into the vortex but then I started filling up when he appeared on the beach and she wanted to touch him and couldn't. Lost it completely when he disappeared before he could tell her he loved her!

[fat rascal]

i just can't get to grips with flying daleks.......

[just jools]

I must admit, the flying daleks are a bit strange! When I was a kid I was terrified of them but at least in those days you knew that if you ever came across a Dalek you could just run up the stairs and they'd never catch you!! :-)

[Suzyboo]

yes the soon to be new sidekick was killed, just like mickey was left in another dimension...no consistency!

[PinkFlower]

no. freema played the girl who died, and has now been cast for the part of the companion, a completley differnt role!!!!!

[bernardo]

What on earth are you talking about? What indignation? Why are you wanting or expecting me to be indignant about? Who is Catherine Tate? What has she got to do with Doctor Who? What is your question? Are you asking me what I thought about the Doctor Who story? If the latter, then i think it was a brilliant story and a good way of getting rid of Rose without killing her.

[pickalily]

Loved the last episode. Sooooooo sad. There was a big picture of the Doctors's new assistant in Wednesday's Daily Mirror.It is indeed Freema Agyeman. She will play Martha Jones and help him battle the Ice Warriors.It says she appeared in last Sat's episode as Adeola who perished at the hand of the cybermen. Best known as chambermaid for three years in Crossroads.

"TELL HE LOVED HER"?

Our television is so awash with bluddy soap operas that all we want now is someone to tell someone that they love them. This is Dr Who for goodness' sake. "Love" has no place here. It's about science and mind-games and puzzles and ingenuity - or it should be. Soaps have an awful lot to answer for.

[willyboy]

Are you bothered? I'm not bothered!

[marwel7]

It would be difficult to bring back Jon Pertwee,Sheff,as he died quite a while ago.
Brilliant ending,I'm glad Rose didn't die and that the family stayed together.

[Joe Shmoe]

I thought it was a brilliant end to a brilliant series. So sad at the end. I like Catherine Tate and I think she makes the Christmas special sound an interesting prospect. She will be more than a match for The Doctor and fill the gap until Martha Jones arrives.

[electricblue]

I will not be surprised to see rose in it again,after all,never say never in dr who,,,,!!!

[Backdrifter]

Yes it was very good, even better than the previous series and it couldn't not have some emotion in it - yes there are unreconstructed sci-fi bores out there who think emotion should play no part in this programme but it would have played very badly if they brought it back in the same mould as the 60s/70s versions where the emotional dimension was largely missing.

When I was 10 years old, excitedly watching the latest Pertwee or Baker adventure, I would have cringed if there'd been that sort of emotional content, as I was a little boy who hadn't experienced that sort of thing yet and therefore couldn't appreciate it - I would have dismissed it as yukky stuff. Unfortunately, there are adults out there who have never progressed beyond that infantile stage, who have had little or no emotional involvement with anyone other than themselves, and they're generally the ones who still cry "Eurrggh! Yukky stuff!" now.
