Never mind cracks in the Universe or amnesiac Time Lords abandoned on the edge of the Silver Devastation – I’m almost loathe to link to it, but angelshavethephonebox.com is a singular waste of an entirely usable web address. Admittedly the owner took the time to stick a picture on it with appropriate Doctor Who quote, but what a massive waste of a perfectly good opportunity to do so much more with it. I hate to say it, but a link farm would be better than this static page. The owner registered the site in 2007 and it recently renewed in May – and I suspect it has looked like this the whole time. Damned waste!

The Doctor’s new costume has been revealed, as Matt Smith steps into the Time Lord’s shoes. While filming the 2010 series with companion actress Karen Gillan, Matt was seen to be wearing “tweed jacket, bow tie, rolled up trousers and black boots” (according to BBC News).
The official Doctor Who web site says, “It says adventure. It says laid back cool. It says Time Lord chic…”. However, what it says to me is up-tight school teacher or perhaps well-turned-out Antiques Roadshow expert. What makes this look a great deal different to the pre-shaved bow-tie sporting Eric Knowles?
It happens whenever we have a regeneration… people doubt the acting ability or the charisma of the new-comer; but, not since Colin Baker exited the TARDIS wardrobe have I doubted the Time Lord’s outfit so completely from the get-go.
Well, having watched the final episode of Battlestar Galactica it leaves me wondering how Who might conclude. Will we discover that the Time Lords have been hiding in the cupboard all along… The one in the TARDIS kitchen near the leaky pipe.
Oh, and the Ultimate Question is ‘What is the final Doctors European shoe size?’ … 42.
I’ve noticed a range of comments across the electronic ether (called the Internet) about ‘disliking the sudden telepathy’ The Doctor exhibited in The Girl in the Fireplace. Maybe I’m wrong, but the Time Lords have been telepathic, in a limited fashion, for a long while. I’m sure of it. Heck, they can build telepathy into a machine (i.e. the TARDIS). So – no sudden telepathy here people… move along. Nothing to see here. I’m sure I’ll post again later when I find solid evidence of The Doctor’s telepathy in past incarnations.
I don’t recall reading anyone moaning about him having a wallet with a piece of psychic paper in it…
