Dear Doctor Who Fans:

Your show had a ranting Trig.

That is all.

2. Roger Lloyd-Pack was appalling in tonight's episode. Irredeemably bad.

He was, wasn't he? And right from the teaser too, which shows impressive commitment if nothing else.

Actually he alternated between ludicrously over-the-top, and bad-but-bearable. Taken as a whole it was all much too much.

He really did seem just like the OTT bad guys they show in clips of old episodes. I did wonder for a minute whether it was meant to be knowing and ironic, but decided it was just bad.

The thing is, while Ye Olde Doctor Nameth Who had plenty of hammy performances from aliens and robots, the human baddies generally weren't this one-note. Or maybe it's my failing memory.

That was exactly my thought too. And I *was* around at the time. Basic black hat / white hat stuff with added scenery chewing.

My thought was: "Oh, we can still have evil crippled geniuses these days, after all." Maybe it's supposed to be 'ronic.
