Jekyll

[gaspode]

Well with all the DW wibbling thats been going on (making anything I have to say superflous - except perhaps my prediction of the week - 'Oh Look - Jacks got a Broken Plot Device on his Wrist ;) ) no one seems to have mentioned a certain Steven Moffat's Jekyll ...

Bloody Great. IMHO.

Its well written, both funny and tense in the the right places with some genuinely creepy moments. Nesbit is suprisingly good at the duality role too.

If you missed it last night see it before part 2 next week.

I'm a little worried how its going to run for another 5 hour long episodes tho - still, Mr Moffat seldom disapoints ...

Oh and Gina Bellman ... I'm sorry but shes always going to be Jane to me...

Didn't see Jekyll on Saturday night, due to a fit of IKEA storage construction. Have it on TiVo (well, assuming the Virgin didn't turn the service off again!)

Was underwhelmed by Dr. Who.
The whole rocket to Utopia thing? Are we going to get a conclusion to that?
The poor (dead) bug girl? Why not make her human, and save a pot load of makeup work? (And as for taking the piss out of her speech patterns. That was just rude! And probably Gay!)
Jack and the magic torch? RTD has really stopped writing SF explanations, and has resorted to "And the doctor waves his magic wand".
Huge amounts of exposition while Jack does his magic trick. Or, more accurately: Jack doesn't do anything.

Gah!
Well, it was a setup for the final two episodes, so it ought to be judged as the first of a three-parter. But as a stand alone episode, there was so much missing.
