I can't wait to hear your thoughts on some of the older episodes from Ecclestone and Tennant. I've had tears of joy and tears of sadness, I've been freaked out and I've been thrilled, but most of all I've been entertained, and at times, it really has been the best television I've watched for years. I wish I could watch them all again with new eyes as you are both doing, as there's nothing like that first viewing and the anticipation of watching a new Who episode. I've dug out my series two boxset to watch soon - I'd put it away to try and wean myself of it, but all this talk has made me want to see them all again. (We've seen series one so many times, but series two is my favourite, so that's why I'm starting with the tenth Doctor again).

Good, but my favourite line of the whole show: The Doctor: Oh, you are beautfiul! No really, you are - you're gorgeous. Look at that, space age clockwork. I love it, I've got chills. Listen seriously. I mean this from the heart - and by the way, count those - it would be a crime, it would be an act of vandlism to disassemble you ... but that won't stop me. They do and I loved Catherine Tate as companion in this and series four, but it's not as good as The Christmas Invasion. Problems with The Runaway Bride include really annoying, overbearing incidental music at times and, for me, it didn't really have the sense of peril that you need if the whole human race is in jeopardy.

There are two more - the last book Breaking Dawn is being split into two films. Part one should be out end of next year.

I hope so to, as I couldn't resist the offer in The Works, so I've bought books 2-8 without actually having read the first one yet! This place is bad for my bank balance
