RSS Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 Russell T. Davies' reintroduction of the Doctor to British television caused a minor sensation. A show famous for its wobbly sets and substandard effects was back with modern production standards, but the biggest thing it had going for it was the cast: former child pop star Billie Piper surpassed everyone's expectations as Rose, a working class girl who found herself swept away into a world of danger and exploration; Camille Coduri was great as her decidedly crass mother Jackie; Noel Clarke displayed a lot of range as Rose's boyfriend Mickey, a good man with little drive, who floats in and out of her life; and of course, Christopher Eccleston as the Doctor himself. The relationship between the Doctor and Rose was unlike any Doctor / companion pairing before; there was definite heat between the two, and it was difficult to figure exactly how they saw each other -- Rose always seemed to go from seeing him as a love interest, to a father figure.

Missy Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 Loved the idea of taking a look back at a classic episode, Dan. It gave a little perspective to the whole thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 Loved the idea of taking a look back at a classic episode, Dan. It gave a little perspective to the whole thing. Indeed. I encourage any occasion to kick it old school. Good stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
