This week's ep was good (although being RTD, another gay ref, the second this season that I recall--don't tell me there's no gay promotion in this, SFX, there aren't this many refs in other kid friendly shows!)((Not that I'm anti-gay, but the refs are gratuitous)).<BR/><BR/>The library Nige Lowreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08626603640991107968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5566379.post-81324009854103234502008-06-16T07:51:00.000+01:002008-06-16T07:51:00.000+01:00I agree.

RTD is no Moffatt, but this was a great episode, and yes, probably his best so far (although I'm fond of "Gridlock" from last year too).<BR/><BR/>As for Davros, I grew up watching <B>Who</B> in the 80's, when they overused Davros to the point of silliness (and besides, I'm not sure the Doctor needs two Moriarties).
