I think Billy Piper needs to get some new teeth, those ones now give her a horrible lisp.

Yeah, this was quite clearly noticable that her mouth was looking weird and the lisp was bad too... I think she'll get it fixed before Secret Diary 2 :laugh:

I haven't really seen the newer episodes... but If I can recall a Time Lord only has about 11 regenerations... Now The Master is like at 13 (but ghastly). How would they continue the series? The only really forgotten one is the Doctors Daughter. Unless the Heart of the Tardis helps him regenerate again. I am ashamed that my local PBS is showing the US episodes from 2 seasons ago.

Strange that the season trailer last week that showed Rose with the gun at the start gave hints of Davros by showing the bottom half of a Darlek with the top half in shadow coming out of a door but no sign of that in the next episode trailer.

I wonder if that is what the Rhino's are after?

Just saw this on wikipedia which was interesting...

The "Time Beetle"[3] on Donna's back is mentioned by the Doctor to be part of "the Trickster's brigade". The Trickster was a time-altering villain in The Sarah Jane Adventures story Whatever Happened to Sarah Jane?. The beetle on her back was also referenced by Lucius Dextrous in "Fires of Pompeii", with the line "Daughter of London, there is something on your back!".

Has there been any explanation for this? I know there was all the reports about her "forgetting" how to do the accent - but her mouth in the early scenes actually looked wrong - like she'd been on the botox! (trust me love - you look fine as you are!!!)

It seems as if everyone has picked up on this. If you go on the review at AintItCool almost the entire talkback is about it.

Very strange - good ep tho, only the third episode of this season that i've managed to sit all the way through!! :D

it was horrible, i couldnt stop staring at her new teeth because of the lisp. They just look so huge and out of place.

Yeah I was the same, I couldn't take my eyes of them teeth. They're way too big for her mouth and she looked ridiculous, her mouth is huge to start with but now she looks like a horse or something :blink:

That was an awesome episode. After last week's Doctor heavy ep, and it being Donna lite, I wasn't sure how well a Donna heavy episode would fair, but it was very well done, and I really really enjoyed Tate's acting in it, especially towards the end. And what can I see, seeing Piper back was awesome, though her teeth were a bit...odd at the beginning to say the least.

And man next week's episode (and Journey's End) looks sick. A gaggle of companions helping the Doctor out against his greatest enemy? I'll take it please, thanks!

Off topic a bit, but has anyone heard what they are doing with Torchwood now? Ugh, 5 episodes? In ONE week? (According to Wikipedia anyway) what the hell? I mean, I know they nuked half the cast last season, but still, sheesh. At least Jack will be on DH and those few Torchwood episodes. :(

Thought this weeks episode was pretty weak, if only because I simply can't stand Donna.

Looking forward to seeing the cameos next week - Torchwood (OK, I only give a crap about Jack,) Martha, Rose etc...anything to take screen time away from Donna. The storyline was interesting, but I just can't enjoy Doctor Who when the Doctor is in maybe 5% of the episode...

Just came back of holiday and i had to watch Doctor Who (Top Gear needs to be watched as well :p)

Anyways, was a good episode. Glad to see Bad Wolf is back, wasn't Bad Wolf explained in the Series 1 finale, didn't Rose say is was her or something on those lines?

Next weeks episode looks amazing. Actually can't wait!

No, Davros is still a humanoid in a Dalek casing (as far as I remember) and since he's being played by a real human and not CGI etc I doubt very much that's Davros in the pic.

Just saw Forest of the Dead just now also. Wow. Moffat is awesome! I'm glad someone who loves Doctor Who so much is taking over instead of some schlub. And boy do I love Ms. Kingston (from the old ER days, heheh)

I guess I missed the discussion on that episode, but I would imagine she's gonna be a future companion for the Doctor in a future regeneration cycle...obviously :D But why did the Doctor tell her his name? Ugh!

I'd imagine it's that red Dalek that Davros creates. But, who knows.

*Edit* Wait wait, that Dalek is in chains, wasn't that in an episode of the 2nd series "Dalek" when Rose touched it and it came back to life pretty much? That looks way to familiar. Perhaps it's just a pic from that episode that they never used?

    • Windows 11 in 2026: Are you fully on board, or still holding back?

      By cooky560 · Posted

      Windows 11 is a big thumbs down from me. I used for a period of a few days while it was in insider and windows 10 was the main OS, and realised it wasn't for me. I am still waiting for Windows to be tolerable again, a shame as at one point I was very pro Microsoft.  
    • Classic Outlook vs New Outlook — Which one do you prefer and why?

      By cooky560 · Posted

      Classic outlook, not only does it have a much fuller feature set, it doesn't include Microsoft attempting to sync my emails from my servers to theirs. If classic outlook is ever removed from office, and the version I paid for in 2021 stops working for some reason, I'll use Thunderbird.

    • Here's how to watch the Xbox Games Showcase today and what to expect

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Here's how to watch the Xbox Games Showcase today and what to expect by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The June games showcase week has been a packed one, with everything from major presentations like Sony and Summer Game Fest to indie-focused reveals coming in almost every day. Now, it's almost time for another big one, with Microsoft bringing its Xbox Games Showcase back later today. This is a double feature too, with a Gears of War E-Day deep dive also being attached to it. For anyone wanting to tune in online, the 2026 Xbox Games Showcase is kicking off at 10 AM PT | 1 PM ET | 6 PM BST | 7 PM CEST later today, June 7. The event will be available to watch on the official Xbox YouTube (4K 60FPS), Twitch, Facebook, Steam, Amazon Live, and other portals. Separate livestreams for American Sign Language and Audio Description will also be available. "This year marks 25 years of XBOX, and this Showcase is poised to be a true celebration, offering world premieres, new gameplay, fresh updates, and more for a swathe of projects we cannot wait to share," said Microsoft about this presentation. With a new CEO behind it that is pulling off some interesting moves, Xbox may have some surprises to reveal today. New looks at first-party games like Halo Campaign Evolved from Halo studios, Fable from Playground Games, InXile Entertainment's Clockwork Revolution, Mojang's Minecraft Dungeons II, and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 from Infinity Ward are to be expected here. We may finally get to see the new Blade from Arcane Studios in action and a new Persona game from Atlus at the showcase too. Surprise announcements may also arrive from other Microsoft-owned studios like Bethesda, MachineGames, Ninja Theory, Obsidian, Rare, World's Edge, or Blizzard. Considering how every new release nowadays is staying away from November and December to avoid Grand Theft Auto VI's release, any launch dates Microsoft announces will probably skip those months as well. Once the Xbox Games Showcase ends, Microsoft will immediately kick off the Gears of War: E-Day Direct. This deep dive into the upcoming prequel from The Coalition should attach gameplay footage and perhaps a release window to the highly anticipated project.

      People in the '50s and '60s had the same attitude, and we're still here over a half century later.
