Dan Starkey is to play new “Doctor Who” companion Mister Potato Head, although in the script he goes by the name of Commander Skorr. That’s him, looking rather butch and just a teensy weenie bit mean, second from the right between Freema and David. I bet Joan Collins, as the Rani, won’t have shoulder pads in his size before regenerating into a younger, more virile, model! Mister Potato Head is, of course, a Sontaran and, together with the Doctor, will fend off evil alien menaces such as Martha Jones, with her prim white coat and unwanted advances, and dastardly Donna Noble, just plain pain and mouthy with it! Catherine Tate, nearly 40, who plays the delightful Donna, has reportedly had problems with her boobs, bouncing in a rather undignified fashion whilst fleeing various encounters of a singularly unnatural kind. Look at it this way, dear… When you are interviewed on the GMTV sofa, next spring, at least you and Lorraine Kelly will have something to talk about!! What an unsightly pair they’ll make, so early in the morning.
I can’t say I think much of the costume. The one in “The Two Doctors” was better…
…While Peri showed off her pins in a rather fetching pair of light-blue shorts trimmed with an orangey-red belt, Donna seems to be sporting an extraordinarily dull-looking set of grey flannels or, as the Americans would call them, PANTS! Oh, you thought I was talking about the Sontaran’s outfit. Yeah, that’s naff too!! As you can probably tell, I’m really looking forward to the next series of my favourite show (of all-time) with more anticipation than ever before. It looks like being very scary stuff indeed. Viewers may actually switch off from the sheer terror of it all. Having seen the pre-emptive publicity pictures, the discerning viewer might not even switch it on in the first place… if they know what’s good for them! Skorr blimey, Guv’nor!!

Hmm. Mr Potato Head or Peri? Peri every time.
Mr Potato Head or Donna Noble? Hmm. Gotta love that spud...!
Yes, all looks rather dubious and foreboding doesn't it...
I quite like Lorraine Kelly though!
The Sontaran's costume looks very dodgy indeed, almost caricature!
I picked on Lorraine only because she is forever going on about "boobies"! There are far worse presenters than her on GMTV!!
Yes, I used to loathe Eamon Holmes (and still do). I bet his boobies are as big as Lorraine's but not as attractive...
Perhaps it's really Eamonn playing Mister Potato Head!
Have to agree, I'm not overly keen on the new Sontaran design. Okaaay it's not terrible but the face looks very prosthetic and fake. The best Sontaran make-up was in "The Time Warrior" and after that it all slid rapidly downhill! The "concerned" poses on the faces of the guest cast are quite amusing though.
I agree that Donna's outfit is rather dull, looks like something bought from M&S or C&A. Maybe it's cos the producers don't want her to outshine the return of Martha! (Who knows, perhaps Ms Jones is wearing a bikini of Peri-proportions under that lab coat and is just ready to drop it and reveal ALL! You'd like that, eh, Tim? Oddly enough the prospect of Donna Noble in a bikini doesn't really appeal in the same way...and this is a gay man talking...)
And this "New series looks scarey" stuff is you taking the proverbial, right?
The cast seem to be trying to see if there is any wax in the Sontaran's ears! More likely, if there is a creative brain between the designer's ears!!
And, speaking of disengaging one's brain, Martha in a bikini does have a certain appeal! Rose too, had they only let her!! As for Donna, I think Catherine is already finding containment difficult!!!
