As for the Norton virus – wasn’t that him playing the Dream Lord (I’m not spoilering, we’ve all seen the ‘next time’ trailer by now)?

Lastly, I suppose I should indicate an elephant in the room. I know we’ve all noticed, but no-one seems to want to say. We’ve lost Tennant, Rusty, coral columns, the chunky, rivetty daleks and… the consistently gorgeous visual effects we’d all come to depend upon. There have been notable exceptions (spitfires in space!) and there are doubtless solid, budgetary reasons why – but in the final analysis does it really matter?
As a 3-D computer artist said to me: “it’s just like Doctor Who used to be, iffy effects but great characters and stories!”

Canonicity of the computer games? May I just point out that he was photographed with the blue sonic?

And why isn’t Babelcolour given huge buckets of money to do this professionally?
