Let's talk about Doctor Who. Specifically two things:
Thing One:
What has happened to Billie Piper's speech? She sounds like she's wearing badly-fitted dentures to go with that oil slick of cheap lipgloss and the naff Essex accent. And anyone who suggests I'm jealous of her because she's younger than me is lying.
Thing Two:
Has anyone, anywhere, ever under any circumstances ever found a Dalek scary? OK, they can fly, but they're slightly less aerodynamic than a pepper pot with a lead weight in the bottom. And Davros? Davros? Really? Why would you name a scary supervillain after the bloke that runs your local chip shop?
That is all.

We were also wondering what is wrong with Billie Piper's mouth!
I shall do some gossip research on it.
Some Stephen Moffat rarities on UK Nova....
Steven Moffat’s B-Sides And Rarities
EXAM CONDITIONS
First Broadcast 3rd July 1992
Written by Steven Moffat
Produced and Directed by Jon Scoffield
A Central Production
A half-hour (basically) dialogue free comedy written by new Doctor Who supremo Steven (Press Gang/Joking Apart/Coupling) Moffat for the EBU Commission/Central Television, which won the Prix Jeunesse and Plovdiv Awards and was nominated for a RTS award.
Eric Shaffer (Press Gang's Paul Reynolds), the school genius and sports champion, accidentally hands in a signed derogatory caricature of his teacher Mr Carkdale (Brian Blessed) instead of the answers during an exam, and the rest of the episode revolves around his increasingly desperate attempts to retrieve it before Carkdale notices.
Although, for Eric, every problem
:-(
has a solution
:yay:
but this time, things may not entirely go his way... :hmm:

Steven Moffat’s B-Sides And Rarities
THE OFFICE
Broadcast 2nd July 1996
Written by Steven Moffat
Directed by Paul Jackson
Produced by Sandra C Hastie
A Richmond Films & Television Production
A Carlton Programme For ITV
Nothing to do with the Gervais/Merchant series, this half hour one-off ITV comedy comes from Steven Moffat (writer of Press Gang, Joking Apart, Coupling and Jekyll and the newly appointed show-runner for Doctor Who series 5 in 2010).
After Norman Platt is warned that his new boss, Hillary Drummond, is a man-eater a not so simple mis-understanding leaves him naked in her office. So long as he can prevent her, or anyone else, seeing him, a spare suit in his own office should allow Norman to keep both his dignity and his job.
His only help comes from his idiot friend Gordon and even worse secretary Pru. Oh, and his own imaginary biker twin, of course.
Most extreme thanks to piasnow for the file.
