Doctor Who Project - 'Voyage of the Damned' aka the Kylie Christmas Special

Martha's gone, The Master's been defeated and The Doctor's left holding a life ring from the Titanic screaming "What? What? What?". The next thing we know David Tennant is chatting away to Kylie Minogue who's dressed in a maid's outfit (think a lot of men's Christmas wishes came true right there).

To be honest that was probably the highlight of this episode, that and Bernard Cribbins cameo. Richard Bucket from Keeping up Appearances was annoying with his off the mark Earth facts. The rest of the supporting cast were just as bad. There was the 'big' couple who were there just to make fat jokes, the red conker and the smarmy rich guy who ended up making money out of the whole catastrophe. Sums it all up. Even the baddie was crap. Some bald eye-patched guy's head on a steam punk version of Davros' life support system. His big plan was to crash the Titanic and claim the insurance (or something like that, I stopped paying attention by this point to be honest) and live in luxury for the rest of his life. Yeah it was that bad!

Oh well series 4 to come.

Oh one last thing, The Doctor trying to save Kylie after she fell to her death felt a bit like how he rescues River Song in 'The Silence in the Library' (the 1st time The Doctor meets River and the last time she 'meets' him, whilst alive anyway!). Oh wait that hasn't happened yet has it? Wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey and maybe a little foreshadowing for next series (4 aka the Donna series that is).

Onwards and upwards. Alons-y!

Had to be done!
