The Woman who fell to Earth

The first story of the Chibnal era

Okay

It is better than Deep Breath. It is not as good, as the 11th hour. It is about the same level as the Christmas Invasion. Which I think it mimics on purpose. Even the Alien big bad, seems to have a similar look, to the big red guy.

Okay.

I liked, the Sheffield setting. It was something I liked about Torchwood. This feels more real, than the idealised London, of the RDS era, or the hip Britannia of the Moffat days.

The cast is fine. The acting is very good. Some of the dialogue particularly that given to Bradley Walsh is a bit clunky. The line about blaming this on your dyspraxia too

I like Jodie. I liked her, Line, in the police car, can we turn on the sirens. I liked her messing about with the phone.

I liked the forging of new sonic screw driver

It is weird to hear the Doctor apologise. I know that Tennant was famous for the I'm so sorry line. But Jodie's Doctor is quite specific. I am sorry this person died. I am sorry you got sucked into this. This is different.

Quite good, cliffhanger at the end.

Song for today ``There’s gotta be more…’’

I am borrowing this content for a moment. Yes I am aware I have a child’s musical taste http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wUOcQnWbk_U&feature=related I used to catch this song,on one of the music channels, a few years ago.  I liked it. Its a nice enough song.  Stacey O, is a sweet young lady. Who tired of the music business and became a volunteer in Africa. I have been listening to it all day today. I downloaded if from Amazon. It catches a moment in adolescence when, you start working, and its mopping floors, or loading books onto barrows. You go to college and its waiting around all day for three hours of lectures, eating instant noodles, and maybe watching Star trek, or the Simpsons  and going to bed. So you go to the club on the weekend. You go to the underwear party. You get drunk, but that’s it isn’t it

Malchera in High school

Will from the in-betweeners, with bad skin, look at the area arround my left eye. I have just had a bout of conjuctiveitis. That and my half smile, to conceal my cracked incisor and dirty teeth... I don't know why I actually possess this picture. School Photographs, now there is racket. They take you out of class, and take your picture, and charge you for the picture. Anyway, my mother never paid for the school photographer. She had 4 children in the same school,  and paying for 4 photographs, would not have been cheap. I do remember the day though. Before me, the busty Kelly Panei, had gone first. The photographer had made a crack about beauty and the beast, so I knocked over his stand on the way out... But for years after, this was my mental image of myself...
