F***ing Liberty…that is what Tate is taking with Dr Who

Category: Television

I watched the last Dr Who episode. Is it me or was Catherine Tate bloody awful? She didnt act she just did her characters in different places. They seem to be good at picking doctors, but rubbish at picking female side-kicks. Bring back Teela!

The Ood seem to me to be direct rip-offs of D&Ds Mindflayers (check out the Monster Manual).

NB: I admit that I thought Billy Piper was awful as a sidekick and assumed it was she was a rubbish actress. The various dramas I have seen her in since have convinced me I was wrong about her acting skills. She is actually rather good.

NB: For the benefit of my non-UK readers. Catherine Tate is a “comediene” who has an ole’ lady character who uses that phrase often.

    Uh, Dude? “Teela” was a character from “He-Man and the Masters of the Universe.” But you knew that.

    Possibly you meant to refer to Tegan, played by Janet Fielding, who accompanied Dr.s # 4 and 5? Tegan looked ever so nice in her tight little fascist pencil skirt. Could have gobbled her right up.

    Er no I meant the one that hung out with Tom Baker who wore a leather skirt and carried a rather big knife she was keen on using.
