I’ve replied in a new post on my blog’s front page. Otherwise, I might never have got round to reviewing the Christmas Special, despite having reviewed every episode in the last series!TimeWardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06853837867256272087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10873408.post-1167408650119401622006-12-29T16:10:00.000+00:002006-12-29T16:10:00.000+00:00Yes it was nice that the original series acknowled...Yes it was nice that the original series acknowledged Christmas in that way.<BR/><BR/>So, what did you think of "The Runaway Bride" then? I enjoyed it on the whole. <BR/><BR/>Catherine Tate (although rather shrill and loud in places, and occasionally too reminiscent of her comedy show characters) had an excellent rapport with David Tennant and there was some great dialogue between them. Speaking of Mr Tennant, I was pleased to see his annoying face pulling and silly mannerisms were very much subdued here. He seems much more comfortable and natural in the role now, which was good to see. Sarah Parrish's Empress of Racnoss was menacing and looked amazing, although a shame she wasn't more "mobile". The scene when the Dr floods the spider's nest was actually very disturbing as the Empress screamed "My babies!" and the Dr just stood there impassively. And I loved the TARDIS / taxi chase scene. The trailer for Season Three whetted my appetite nicely too (although why did they have to give the game away about the Daleks?)Old Cheeserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17871751335676050949noreply@blogger.com
