Prime finally showed the Dr Who Christmas Special tonight. It was brilliant!

Russell T Davies is a genius for dialogue. And Catherine Tate as the bride! There was a point in it when she got upset, and you could see her jsut about to go "am I bovvered?" Funny! David Tennant is growing on me too.

On other TV related matters, C4 did a '40 songs you are embarrased to love' which was compelling viewing last night! Most of them are way old, and I knew all the words, but hadn't seen the videos. Billy Idol's White Wedding was in the top 10, and had bizarrely racist overtones which you don't really pick up in the song - the whole wedding congregation did a nazi salute in the chorus. And Billy Idol did this Elvis lip curl while he was singing, which made him look like a complete knob.

The funniest one was definitely Bonnie Tyler's Total Eclipse of the Heart, where she is running amok in a boy's school. I have never seen so many scantily clad young men in my whole life (although it would be worth trying). Very very funny, and would probably be even funnier with the sound off. There was one bit where she was singing and a bloke in a loin cloth jumped up and did a high leg kick to one side, right in front of her, not in time to the music or anything. Very incongruous. I bet she had a lot of fun making it!
