It added a sort of Memento like feel to ep2 where clearly the characters knew more than me. Ep 1 cleared up a lot of the mystery so maybe I won't like the remaining episodes so much. I can't even think about clicking that link until after I've seen ep23. I rather liked Catherine Tate in the Christmas special but thought that the character had only one ep in. I remain to be persuaded. John Simm was clearly cast because of Life on Mars, but I felt it worked anyway. Cape Wrath... caught 5 minutes of it the other day, but needed to go to bed and the 5 mins I saw didn't grab me. Must say, I don't know anything about the programme anyway.

Tried to watch the last-but-one episode but got distracted while it was on so videoed the rest. Then videoed last week's. I don't feel any urge to catch up. Heroes, on the other hand, is superb. Not entirely sure how I feel about this notion that the second season will be very different: http://www.scifi.com/scifiwire/index.php?category=0&id=40354. I think Catherine Tate has the potential to be quite good, but I think it's wrong to cast such a high-profile TV figure as one of the companions. I thought John Simm was wrong for the same reason. And then there's Cape Wrath... watched the first hour of the opening episode and videoed its final 40 mins. I do feel the urge to watch that one, though more to see if it's going to get any better...

Of course, taking a sample for scientific purposes would be impossible due to the impregable nature of the TARDIS. You have to admit though that it looks like a wooden box :)

It's a time machine with a chameleoplastic molecular exterior that maps onto a void-space interior suspended outside the regular context of space and time. Or something like that. I have to admit I'm a little shaky on the precise scientific concepts involved. But I do know one thing: it's definitely, absolutely not made of wood. But… but… but… the TARDIS isn’t a wooden box.
