DW Confidential/Bad Wolf

[unfeathered]

Just watched the Doctor Who Confidential (BBC3 are showing them along with the episodes) for The End of the World, which goes beyond that episode and into the realm of previous Who aliens and monsters, and it was lovely to see interviews with Peter Davison and Tom Baker (there was a bit of Colin Baker too, but he's just gross now so that wasn't so lovely), and clips from their series.

Sorry, not much point to that - I just wanted to share.

And after that, I noticed that the telly had recorded Bad Wolf, so I decided (in the interests of research, you understand, for my writing, especially as I've always watched with hubby till now so was never able to pause and rewind etc.) to have a little peak at the bit with naked Captain Jack and the Trinny and Susannah bots. And... phwoar! I'm all a-flutter now :-)

I'll stop spamming now. As I said, just wanted to share :-)

Btw, such a purty icon you have on this post...

It's lovely, isn't it? becky_h did a whole group of icons from that show (can't remember which one it was now) and it was really hard to choose! (Always is.)

Thanks for commenting about my fic - it's so helpful (and happy-making) to know what people think!

I was thinking of posting Jack's soliloquy as a little insert at some point, but tbh I actually used all the physical things that happened in it in Part 3 - the Master leaving him alone, Jack taking off his boots and sitting in the corner and thinking. And what's left was very much just exposition. Having re-read it after finishing Part 3, it's really not needed now. It did its job of letting me work out Jack's motivation, so I'm glad I did it, but it wasn't as great as I thought it was at the time and I'm not now going to post it.

On the other hand, if you want to see a very good explanation of the sort of thing that was in there, see darthhellokitty's comments to Part 3. She got it dead right.

Re Gwen. I said "supposed" to be the heart. I didn't mean it had worked. *g*

the only character I care about is Jack

Agreed. Tosh is quite cute, but I don't really know enough about her to say I care about her. And, as I said, Owen's interesting, but ditto on the caring. I'm looking forward to Martha joining the team. I like Martha.

Re Gareth Thomas. Neither hubby nor I recognised him during the episode, but we recognised the name at once when I did my usual imdb 'who have we seen before' after-episode search. He hasn't aged well!

Re Jack/Spike. Nope, no more. I wasn't planning on writing any more on that, I'm afraid. I'm sure Jack will get out of there eventually, even if he has to seduce Spike with his beautiful body to do it, but at the moment he's still hanging there... *g*

And thank you for all this. I've really enjoyed 'talking' to you today.

Yes, it's very lovely (I think it was Jonathan Ross, when he was on with ALW). I have purty ones, too, like the one I've been using, and this one cracks me up. You can check my userpics for the ones I've snurched (with credit). You've probably seen them.

You're welcome. :) I still have six page downs to go, to finish Part 3, because it's tough to read about Jack like that. I'll read through the comments too when I'm done.

Agreed. Tosh is quite cute, but I don't really know enough about her to say I care about her. And, as I said, Owen's interesting, but ditto on the caring. I'm looking forward to Martha joining the team. I like Martha.

Yes, and Ianto does look good in a suit, so I'm fine with him being eye candy and that's why I'll let him off, for the thirteenth episode, (I can be shallow, right? Right?!? Right?!?!?) but Gwen and Owen have overstayed their welcome with me.

Re: Gareth Thomas, yeah, I didn't recognize him either. If I hadn't seen the picture on Owen's monitor, I'd've had no idea who it was.

Re Jack/Spike. Nope, no more. I wasn't planning on writing any more on that, I'm afraid. I'm sure Jack will get out of there eventually, even if he has to seduce Spike with his beautiful body to do it, but at the moment he's still hanging there... *g*

Write it, write it, write it, write it, write it!!!!!! *chants annoyingly until you give in and write either the others rescuing Jack, or Jack seducing his way out of there*

And thank you for all this. I've really enjoyed 'talking' to you today.

Yay! Glad I didn't annoy you. *grin* I have, too. :)

Actually, I think it was one of the game shows - he's behind a desk - might have been Would I Lie to You? It was about the same time as the ALW Jonathan Ross, though.

Sorry you've having a hard time reading my fic. I promise Jack will come through it OK. And he is enjoying himself a bit, even now. :-)

Ah, okay. Glad I can admit when I'm wrong. *grin* Yeah, that might have been the game show, but wasn't he mostly seen from the other angle?

Sorry you've having a hard time reading my fic. I promise Jack will come through it OK. And he is enjoying himself a bit, even now. :-)

The writing is good. The concept is uncomfortable.

Ahem. Now you see why I have to remember to click, and make my icon more DW/TW/JB instead of using my default icon, which has nothing to do with DW/TW/JB.

The concept is uncomfortable. That seems to be the general consensus. Looks like I'm doing something right! *g*
