Re:Humour and Sci-Fi

There's humor in Dr. Who? I guess I never noticed. Or it could be the fact that I'm not British

Oh, it's there alright. It's just not that strong. Like me, you may have seen too much sci-fi and really funny stuff that it's either dulled your senses or, more likely, made you realise that a higher standard of script is a must. The trouble with the present Doctor Who series is that it's written by a bunch of left-leaning literati-types who think they know everything about "quirky British humour", but in reality seem to know little about science fiction. The result? It's limp. It's been injected with more political collagen than Angelina Jolie's lips. It's inconsistent, and the language is childish. It lacks confidence and authority when compared to things like Stargate: SG-1 and Enterprise.

There are Brits who can write decent TV sci-fi, but Russel T. Davies and Mark Gatiss ain't among 'em.

Hit Show SOLD to Sci-Fi Channel

Sold eh??

I paid for that bastard via my Licence Fee - do I now get a refund??? ...or maybe the BBC are paying a dividend this year to all it's loyal viewers who 'choose' to pay the BBC subscription fee.
