Oh dear. That's as sad as men in their 50's and 60's watching that gardening programme because they think that Charlie Dimmock's fit. Average looking redhead. Unto each their own!

I can't help it, I still like Doctor Who despite being about 20 years too owd for it. Karen Gillan is a very welcome added bonus

Skinny legs, very ugly feet and why is she standing like she's got a drawing pin in her left shoe?

It's not a flattering picture but she is gorgeous. And this 'grown men watching Dr Who' is bollocks. If people like it people like it, didn't realise enjoyment was quite so formulaic. Those Weeping Angels are properly terrifying, good acting, in quirky eccentric way, good looking girls, and some quite clever storylines.

no pru - entertainment has age rules. you are not really allowed to like Doctor Who and still be in the cool club!

Since I'm about to become a great grandfather shortly, I doubt she'd even notice.

My word, how sensitive?! I believe that Pencilbiter's line was "whatever it is that grown men see in it goes over my head too". Mine too.

Why so defensive?

Didn't mean to come across quite so serious about it, though I would suggest there is an implication in those posts, particularly Caps' that there is something wrong with doing. Protective of my Doctor Who

No, nothing wrong with it.. just genuine mystery on my part.

Same goes for Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter et al.

Fair enough, I don't get Lord of the Rings myself, and enjoyed Harry Potter when I was younger, but I wouldn't start reading them if they came out now. On that kind of subject however, I do think they get an unfair press, as surely anything that shows kids the ones at school who say reading is boring are talking boll*cks is a good thing.

Surely they just fall in the realms of fantasy? That thing that doesn't really exist, but if you want to make believe then isn't that rather the point?

I watch things like Narnia and the Golden Compass etc occasionally. Helps take your mind off the bad in the world and just enjoy a bit of harmless fantasy fun for a while. Never did catch on to Dr Who though.

Absolutely... and I do enjoy some things in that genre, so I'm not terribly consistent, but most of it doesn't seem to do much for me.

Mummy - your ToryBoy avatar looks creepily like a young Andrew Rossindell - the rabid Tory MP in my neighbouring constituency... gives me a shiver every time you post...

Started watching two fairly old series' over the weekend with my flatmate; "The Corner" and "Dark Days", anyone else seen them? Both pretty depressing but also fascinating viewing.

The Corner is a mini series about a drug ravaged neighbourhood in Baltimore - I might be wrong but I think a lot of the cast/crew later went on to work on The Wire, while Dark Days is a documentary series about a group of homeless people who live in the tunnels of the New York underground system; Id recommend them both to anyone who likes their TV viewing served up with a large portion of grit!

Lord of the Rings as a movie (x3) is, I suspect, incredibly tedious. I can't be certain because I only watched the first and it was shite of the most malodorous...
