Goodbye 10th Doctor. You won't be missed.

So last night saw the last episode of Doctor Who featuring David Tennant. According to BBC News, 10.6 million viewers tuned in to see it.

I was one of them and I'm sure a lot of people will disagree with me, but I'm quite happy that this marks the end of Russell T Davies as the primary producer and writer for the show.

For those of you who watched the show regularly, what did you think was the 10th Doctor's catch phrase?

"Allons-y"?

Check this clip to see if you were right.

Don't get me wrong. I thought David Tennant made an excellent job of the role. I'm just not a fan of RTD's scripts. I'm not yet sure about the 11th Doctor either, or his catch phrase, "Geronimo".

Steven Moffat has written all of my favourite episodes of New Who, and its nice to see in the trailer that (it appears) we have the return of the Weeping Angels and River Song (but these are both creations of Steven Moffat). The main question in my mind is whether he can maintain this quality over a whole season (or seasons).

I was watching television the other night and happened to catch the latest yellow pages advert. It was playing on my mind that it seemed very similar to something I'd seen before, and then it came to me that this reminded me of Magical Trevor.

Its not a theft of the idea/music though, as it appears they are both created by Weebl.

If you like this then there are several other Magical Trevor animations:

Magical Trevor 2
Magical Trevor 3
Magical Trevor 4

If that's not enough to satisfy your cravings for Weebl's stuff, then here are a few more of my favourites:

Kenya and its sequel Somalia

Finally, for everyone who either loves or loathes Simon Cowell we have Owls.

Worst Sci-Fi mini-series ever made

I think I've just watched the worst Sci-Fi mini series ever to appear on British Television. The story concerned a mining flight to the moon that is taken over by giant intelligent insects who wear the humans like suits so they can come back to Earth, all get jobs at City Hall, lay thousands of eggs and take over the planet. And the reason for this invasion? Its not because they like the taste of human flesh, but they want to use our bodies as fertiliser to grom the moss they like to drink.

The title of this travesty was The Final Days of Planet Earth.

I'm not sure what was worse, the wooden acting (from Daryl Hannah, Gil Bellows and the rest of the cast), the terrible script, or the low quality of the effects.

I had to check what others thought of this, and it didn't take long to find this quote on IMDB

Oh no. Oh my. Oh my goodness. Where do I even begin? The highly unique idiocy of this movie made for the telly is so jaw-dropping, I would almost recommend watching it because of how strange it is in terms of bad writing

I'm interested to know if anyone has seen a sci-fi mini series actually worse than this - but I think it will take some beating.
