Comments on: Doctor Who – The Runaway Bride – Review & spoilers http://lonelocust.com/2007/01/01/579/ Every swarm starts with one...

Ah, that’s better. The one thing the spin offs lack: The Doctor. The Runaway Bride has a cracking first half, with a stunning TARDIS set piece (we’ll forgive the blue screen, as there’s just something too magnificent about high speed TARDIS chase). There’s also two beautiful scenes with the Doctor and Donna looking out on space through the open doors of the dimensionally transcendental police box. The second half is a bit flat, with writer Russell T. Davies resorting to a rather feeble plot twist. Also there are some daft gags (enterntainingly, gridman’s done the maths on draining the Thames). Still, Catherine Tate (who I’m not familiar with) puts in a good performance as the Doc’s matrimonially challenged sidekick. And I love her self delusion over the Sycorax and Cyber invasions… Tennant is on top form. Can’t wait for Season 29. [...] [...] Give Me Pockets! Ah, that’s better.
