Just watched the Doctor Who Xmas special. Ok, but not the best Xmas special they have done imo.

Agreed. We've gone off Doctor Who - and in fact stopped watching the last series after about 3 episodes. I think the problem is the scriptwriters are trying to be too clever - and many of the stories are just too complicated and are actually uninteresting as a result.

We gave the Christmas show a go, and like you, thought it was okay - but nothing more than that. Will probably give the female doctor a chance next series.

I did not watch the Christmas Doctor Who this year. It is the first time I’ve not watched it. I probably won’t watch the new female doctor either.

Doctor Who came sixth in the Christmas Day TV ratings. The Queen came first again.

I feel that the last series got better towards the end, to me the issue was that Bill Macks did not play well enough to keep her characther interesting.
I will keep watching the show, but I fear that they will now add "funny" male companions who merely come off as annoying.

Watched the Xmas special of Victoria yesterday. Enjoyed that one alot actually. Feel that show is very well cast, and the stories well written.

+1 A very watchable program [&o]. Not necessarily historically accurate but after every episode I check the internet to find out the truth of what I've just watched. And Jenna Coleman is still gorgeous [:)].

Paddington 2

What a funny, thoroughly heart-warming, apologetically feel-good film - even better than the first and with a tremendous cast. Beautiful, absolutely beautiful.

True - Dr Who Christmas specials are usually a bit more up beat but this was quite melancholy. The "high" point is the Captain is saved because of the Christmas "Armistice" of 1914. Hard to look positive when you realise he faces another 3 years of World War 1.

Still I guess they were not only farewelling Peter Capaldi but also the show's producer Steve Moffat plus a lot of the regular supports are finishing up - Pearl Mackie, Matt Lucas & Michelle Gomez included. Looking forward to seeing where the new Dr goes though. Hope it is brilliant.

Finally watched the live action Beauty and the Beast. Not a bad effort, but could have been so much better. Cinderella and Jungle Book - and even Maleficent - come ahead of this one I think.

Haven't seen a film for quite a while, too busy with other things, but no idea what???


Watched Guardians of the Galaxy 2 on Friday. Found myself laughing quite alot. Thoroughly enjoyed it and just loved the soundtrack. In fact I played the soundtrack, via Spotify, the next day at work.
