Series 3 Episode Discussion

[Sam-Elle]

I absolutely loved tonight’s episode.

The end bit was classic ‘expelliarmus’ . The whole thing to me was very well written, especially the line throwing between the doctor and shakespeare.

I’m liking the look for the 3rd episode… cant wait

He had the glasses on tonight girls, not for long thought. But they still made an apperance. . Another cracking episode with Shakespere asking if he could us some of the quotes.

That was funny, i really enjoyed that, so subtile with some of them too.

Didn't do nothing for me tonight I'm afraid, then again I never liked the ones set in the past. I never like how they change History like ooo they are meeting Shakespeare, Elizabeth 1, Queen Victoria etc, much prefer ones set in the present or the future, as thats far more sci fi.

[Abbie]

much prefer ones set in the present or the future, as thats far more sci fi.

Same here I prefer those episodes, but i stil liked it last night

[Layne]

Ditto-ing everything sammibaby said
It was a very well written script, i must admit i do prefer when they travel forwards in time, not back but i still loved last night episode.
And as you said David Tenant and Dean Lennox Kelly

I dont normally like the past ones, but this was pretty good considering. I liked the fact they got loads of things from his plays interwound into it. You probably wouldn't even realise it if you didn't study Shakespeare. Like hinting that Martha is the "Dark Lady" that he talks about in the second half of his Sonnets. And that he wrote about those 3 witches in Macbeth. And that he named Callibans mother in the Tempest, Sycorax after the Doctor said the bones reminded him of one. It was pretty clever!

Martha didn't really have much of a role in it, which wasn't that good. I'd like to see more of her, as shes the new one. No complaints about David Tennant though

Best line in it: "Harry Potter. Just wait till you read the 7th one. I cried"

I really really enjoyed the episode with Shakespere,, I figured the 3 witches from Mac Beth,,
I loved the witty raporte between the Doctor and Shakespere,, I giggled,, I was prepared NOT to like Martha much, but hey shes pretty neat...
The Doc looked sooooooooo cute in his glasses,,

I enjoyed the show. Well written and v. well researched.

The whole premise of time travel means the future can be in the past. Going back in time is just as valid in Sci-fi terms as going forward, I would guess that it must be even more difficult to write as you have to fit in with our recorded history as well as come up with interesting sci-fi.

I guess they have to reuse sets etc as well - they never really seem to travel that far in terms of distance, the vast majority of episodes have been Earth based.

I wasn't too keen on Saturday's episode, i prefer the episodes set in the present and future too, though i thought it was really clever how they incorporated some bits of Shakespeare's plays into it.
