Hoses of the Holy in the Parallel Universe

April 02, 2004

Jesus Christ, spare us puhlease

Ecclestone on Dr Who:

"'My concern, without getting on a soapbox, is that the show can address social issues, and address what's going on around us.

'You can parallel things with a science-fiction scenario, threats to mankind can always be highlighted.'"

Nononononononononno. No. Oh please. No. What's wrong with all the Star Trek movies? They always have to include some element of a threat to humanity, so that morons will understand. Ecclestone goes on to say how there will be a "strong emotional story" for the companion, to explain "why she chooses time travel."

Yeah, because nobody would, would they? Unless they had a strong emotional reason. And you'd have to have a strong emotional reason to want to use a jet pack or anti gravity boots.

Yes, I had my suspicions when this Davies geezer was put forward as the writer/producer. Writer of worthy-but-dull Channel 4 dramas for trendy Londonites to discuss at their Sushi parties.

Fuck off back to RADA now, luvvies.
