    The 'nanoboxes' are just screaming to be weaponised.
    Inert nanoparticles that can be dispersed throughout the environment, with no ill effect.
    But paint the selected 'target' with a laser, and they release precisely what you want, only where you want it.
    Instant unconciousness, blindness, psychosis, suggestibility, death etc. etc. to whoever you want, whenever you want.

    Nice. #nanotech

    I love this kind of story. It perfectly demonstrates how little we understand about biology. This is why I tell my students that science isn't about proof, it's about best hypothesis.

    Kinda shitty reconstruction they did back then. Could have at least attempted to make it shaped like his head, eh?

    @FranksnBeans: "The metal plate which was inserted was itself dented three years later in a subsequent car crash."

    He himself did that doing the same thing he needed the plate for in the first place.

    I hope he had his license revoked after that

    Christopher Eccleston will always be MY doctor. I love David Tennant but he was definitely an acquired taste after the 'fantastic' Chris.

    The more David Tennant, the better. He is my second favorite Doctor, after Tom Baker (who wins on scarf alone).

    Even though Doctor Who is being filmed first, I'm pretty sure SJA is scheduled to air first. It should complete it's run before Tennant's final two specials hit our screen some time around Christmas/New Years.


    When I saw the footage of them filming at the Bannerman Road site, and the Doctor saving Luke from the passing car, I thought to myself "Oooh, this smacks of The Doctor resolving something from a SJA season cliffhanger," and it looks like I may be right.

    Hold up- in that second picture... is he wearing a single earring, Mr. Clean style? And what's with the collar flare, there?


    Why does the Doctor look like an LA night club owner?

    I LOVE K-9.

    Anything that keeps K-9 around is okay by me.


    Look, R2-D2 is truly awesome, no doubt.


    -but for me-ME, mind you, it's all K-9.

    I think this looks stupid. The whole design of the dog is just awful, and the plot sounds like a rip off of Sarah Jane Adventure, minus Sarah Jane, plus an imposter K-9. And the difference will be that SJA is actually quite good for children's show. And I heard that this is completely seperate from the Doctor Who/Torchwood/Sarah Jane Adventures canon, and I'm glad because this show looks horrendous. The Beeb should never have allowed this tragedy. And I was already miffed at these charlatans because I heard tell that they're part of the reason why K-9 wasn't able to appear more often in SJA, some sort of legal issue since these buffoons held the rights to using K-9's image. Luckily it seems the BBC took care of it, because K-9's supposed to be coming back for season three of Sarah Jane.


    I spit on this :P

    Because he died on the way back to his home planet.
