Too much BBC over the long weekend ...

Means all I can think about are Cornish Pasties!!  I'm definitely going to have to make some before I drive myself completely insane!

Mmm, that sounds lovely.

Your user name wouldn't have to do with the amazing Doctor Who, would it? My husband and I love that show. We've seen the last 5 seasons and are looking forward to this saturday night .

Yes it definitely does, I'm a Who addict!  I've even managed to get my 6yo nephew and 4yo niece hooked on the show haha.  This Saturday's episode definitely looks interesting, I didn't see much of The Doctor in the trailer but I'm sure he'll be all over the ep. (after all, it is his show).  Do you have a favorite Doctor?

Yes! Another Who addict, this makes me really happy.

Well, I wasn't a fan of Christopher Eccleston - so I honestly didn't watch much of those seasons. I got really attached to David Tennant so it was really hard to see him go but Matt Smith is really growing on me. He seems a lot more "alien like" than David Tennant. David was a lot more emotional and easier to get attached if you know what I mean. I guess I like Matt Smith a little better now... he plays a great corky doctor.

What about you?

Me too!  I know who addicts are out there, I just never seem to be able to find them.

It took me a long time to get used to Matt Smith, but I do like him now.  Only like though.  Eccleston was ok, but I am glad he only lasted for the first season.  I don't know if I would've carried on watching for this many seasons if he had stayed.  My fave doctor will always be David Tennant (at least so far).  I think he brought a whole new dynamic to the show and revamped it after Eccleston.  Smith does a great job, but he also had that Tennant magic to follow and incorporate into his performance.

After Tennant left Who I caught up on a bunch of his other work via Netflix, he really is a great actor.  He just finished up a summer long on-stage version of Much Ado About Nothing with Catherine Tate - I really wish I could've seen that.  Though I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have been able to get past the "doctor donna" aspect until about half way through haha.

Yeah, I love Tennant. I like both the doctors for different reasons. I still have trouble "connecting" with Smith - he almost seems completely detached from his emotions... but I like the fact that he seems more aged or mature - he plays an alien perfectly. And I love Tennant because I could relate to him so much more and I felt like he was more complex of a character.

I would really like to see some of Tennant's other work, I best it's great - he's fantastic!
