The Watcher: April 2008
http://whoisthewatcher.thisisnottingham.co.uk/2008_04_01_archive.html
The News in your area. The Unveiling of the Brian Clough Statue. Saturday, 26 April 2008. Well, I don’t know if it was just low expectations following last week’s flattish effort (and previous two-parters stinking the place up), but I ended up rather enjoying that. Not sure it all quite hung together, but there were a lot of very pleasing bits - not least the fact the Sontarans are rather interesting all of a sudden, aren’t they? Been done, hasn’t it? Sontarans aside, there was a lot for oldies and newbi...

The Watcher: Regeneration: Who knew?
http://whoisthewatcher.thisisnottingham.co.uk/2008/07/regeneartion-who-knew.html
The News in your area. The Unveiling of the Brian Clough Statue. Wednesday, 2 July 2008. If you can read this, it means that - finally - the Internet is cool enough to touch again. As has been widely reported, the sheer level of fan speculation following Saturday’s explosive climax (it reached an incredible 17.3 on the Hugh-Bonneville Scale) caused heat exchangers at the Internet’s UK hub - actually a giant warehouse in Rugby - to go into meltdown. It’s great, innit? 8217; bit…. 8230;in the Black Country...

The Watcher: Last-minute change
http://whoisthewatcher.thisisnottingham.co.uk/2008/06/last-minute-change.html
The News in your area. The Unveiling of the Brian Clough Statue. Saturday, 28 June 2008. As your correspondent (currently convalescing in East coast exile) drops, drained and confused, into the Chair of Reckoning for the weekly outpouring, the mobile goes off. As your resident Mysterious Projection From The Future, I feel I’ve let you down, because I just didn’t see it coming. But did you? I mean it can’t be, can it? If it is… but it can’t be! But it could be! BUT IT COULD BE! And all that did happen, of...

The Watcher: Left in no doubt
http://whoisthewatcher.thisisnottingham.co.uk/2008/06/left-in-no-doubt.html
The News in your area. The Unveiling of the Brian Clough Statue. Saturday, 21 June 2008. Left in no doubt. Well, it was the Doctor-Lite one… but otherwise this was as heavy, bleak and brilliant as anything ever done under the Doctor Who banner. It was almost… ach! Writer Russell T Davies certainly understands that - and what a brilliant, long game he’s playing with the viewers. First the showman’s tricks, the feints, the misdirections;. 8216;This season will be the ‘lighter one’. 8217; And then this.

The Watcher: An awkward silence
http://whoisthewatcher.thisisnottingham.co.uk/2008/06/awkward-silence.html
The News in your area. The Unveiling of the Brian Clough Statue. Saturday, 7 June 2008. Strange news from another world: it appears - and perhaps you’d better sit down - some people didn’t like Silence in the Library. Yes, yes, I know exactly what you’re thinking: the chumps! Actually turning the telly off halfway through the episode. Another confessed to disappointment on discovering there was a part two due - and not as in ‘I just can’t wait another week! 8217;, either. Long-term fans found themselves ...

The Watcher: Time we said goodbye
http://whoisthewatcher.thisisnottingham.co.uk/2008/07/time-we-said-goodbye.html
The News in your area. The Unveiling of the Brian Clough Statue. Saturday, 5 July 2008. Time we said goodbye. 8230;of course, nobody. Thought he was regenerating, did they? Still, that ‘regeneration energy’ business struck Team Watcher as slight swizz, as if Rassilon’s great gift to the Time Lords - a complete cellular remix, but only when strictly necessary - was little more than the recipe for a pick-me-up, like Lucozade. That said, it only registered a 4.4 on the ‘Naaaaaah! But if Rose brought the Doc...

The Watcher: May 2008
http://whoisthewatcher.thisisnottingham.co.uk/2008_05_01_archive.html
The News in your area. The Unveiling of the Brian Clough Statue. Saturday, 31 May 2008. Shelf life. and death. Is how you do. In case anyone, anywhere was in any doubt. I need a sit down, or air, or a non-sonic Screwdriver (large, please, barman)…. As the Doctor nearly said, there were so many brilliant, brilliant things in those 43 minutes (how could it be a mere 43 minutes? That we’re gonna need bigger heads to take it all in! What about the spoilers? But the darkness itself. So, Mr Moffat: there are i...

The Watcher: Don't knock it till you've tried it
http://whoisthewatcher.thisisnottingham.co.uk/2008/06/dont-knock-it-till-youve-tried-it.html
The News in your area. The Unveiling of the Brian Clough Statue. Saturday, 14 June 2008. Don't knock it till you've tried it. The one predictable thing about new Who is that – like the Doctor himself - you never know what you’re going to get into next. Midnight was one of those no one saw coming. This was, in some ways, Voyage of the Damned remixed, scaled down and made self-consciously theatrical, the big sets and simplicity of that Christmas Day confection pressed into a suffocating space where words a...
