Thought it might be nice to have somewhere to discuss past eps til the new ones come along.
One thing just occured to me. You know the rather awful Noo Yoik dalek eps in season 3? I was wondering idly whether the accents and setting weren't maybe a slight revenge...for all those bloody awful depictions of English people as either toffs or east end gangsters! Ok, not seriously...but it sparked another chain of thought...the Englishness of Who is part of its appeal. But I find it hard to pin down what that means. Is it the focus on mundane details - the pragmatic side of hte English character? Is it the stiff upper lip of the suffering Doctor...or is it really that stiff? Does the Doctor's ability to cry show that the English character has changed...or is that all a media myth? Just something to start the all-in Who discussion, but talk about whatever you please
