REVIEW: Doctor Who, Sontarans and Stratagems
April 28, 2008 – 9:57 pm
Forgive me if I don’t immediately join the circle-jerk to celebrate the return of the Sontarans. Before we get into that, I’d like to briefly note that Donna Noble is a far superior character to Martha Jones, even after Martha has been overhauled and assigned to work with UNIT, The Doctor’s former employer.
We were all worried about Catherine Tate dropping her comedy act into Doctor Who and Donna blasting out “I ain’t even bovvered” when she doesn’t automatically get her own sonic screwdriver. How wrong we were. When the Tate-isms get dropped in, like when Donna introduces herself with a “Donna, by the way. Donna Noble, since you didn’t ask.” it’s absolutely brilliant. Then she insists on getting a salute as well. And the gormless UNIT flunky complies.

Sky One has ordered 2 x 60’ scripts for a potential event series.
Pyke commented: “At a time when science fiction shows often discard good story-telling for overblown visual effects - and following the lead of Doctor Who and Battlestar Galactica - the time is ripe for a revival of a show that represents the best traditions of the genre, not to mention one of the best-loved and most successful dramas of all time.” Read More »
