Dr Who was rubbish in the Sweeney episode Hit and Run.

Dr Who is on my list of things you just don't get, I'm afraid.

Dr Who is on my list of things you just don't get, I'm afraid. I enjoyed it as a kid in the 60s and early 70s, then again when they restarted it until Matt Smith took over. From then on its rubbish. I like good science fiction but there isn't much I'm afraid. I have to watch old stuff to enjoy it.

I like good science fiction but there isn't much I'm afraid. I have to watch old stuff to enjoy it. I worked on the 4 episodes of the last series of Dr Who with Jodie W. It just conjours up bad memories of working overnight, in Sheffield in February. Especially that dreadful Crane Place at the side of the M1 at Jn34. I think it got to -9 on one night.
I didn't mind the 70s "Dr Who", the Tenant years in 2006.
Wasn't sure about Matt Smith or Peter Capaldi.

Interesting! Agree on favourites, Capaldi is a good actor but the show was pants by then.

Back to topic and another film has just come to mind:
What do others that have seen it think of The Da Vinci Code from 2006? There was so much hype about the film, trains and buses vinyl wrapped in promotional material, it was everywhere and touted as being a complex, enigmatic storyline that would confuse and puzzle everyone.
Annie and I went to see and I must admit that I got bored fairly early on. However, despite not paying too much attention I predicted the ending about two thirds of the way through my popcorn. Annie didn't believe me one bit as she could see I was bored.
To me it just seemed that the hype was just promotional bullshit put out to elevate a mediocre film into something that it didn't deserve to be.
Sam.

I thought it was pretty so-so, though better than the sequel whose title escapes me at the moment.

Angels and Demons followed by Inferno were the sequels, which is probably where they should have ended up.

The sequel was Angels And Demons. Annie didn't bother asking me if I wanted to see it, she went and saw it with an old friend of hers from Police Training College.
She didn't bother seeing Inferno.

100% agree on the Da Vinci Code, to me it was a load of hype over not very much, I read the book first and I wasn't hugely impressed with that either. Also the whole Dan Brown thing seemed to disappear as quickly as it came and is now pretty much forgotten.
