          Well
          Spoiler:
          I guess that rules out David Morrisey as the new Doctor

            It was obvious. RTD isn't that adventurous.

              On some podcasts I listen to they were mentioning that they think it is a copy of the Big Finish Audio story called The One Doctor. Not sure if it is or not, guess we'll all have to wait and see.

                I thought at first (from the CiN special) that it was just someone that had heard of the Doctor (from the future or something), and decided to take on this persona, basically a scam...

                        Spoiler:
                        Im really glad he wasn't a future version of the doctor, I didn't like him at all, very pompus and old fashioned... or something....

                        But overall it was a fantastic episode!
                        I dunno what to put in here now..

                          1. Knew there was no way in hell the David Morrisey character could be anything to do with the real Doctor.

                          2. Jackson Lake was hit and miss as a character, but ultimately he was a Victorian! Would have been interesting to have him hang around longer but he certainly had his uses!

                          3. Miss Hartigan/Cyberking...I liked the idea.

                          4. Damn St Paul's came close to getting crunched! How the hell could that incident have been covered up?

                          Overall, probably the best Xmas ep of the bunch! And on that note, Merry Xmas to all Gateworlders!

                            What, have you been watching the show?

                            He is more adventurous then most writers in TV land, he is also the one who pretty much green lights everyone else's ideas on the show, so yeah he is pretty adventurous in my book.

                            I loved the episode. Now when do we get an actual thread to discuss it in?

                              I liked it, not brilliant but better than last years

                              Spoiler:
                              Loved Dervla Kirwin's Miss Hartigan

                              David Morissey as Jackson Lake was great, I hope he does come back as The Doctor at some point

                              Can Rosita become the Doctor's companion

                              The Transformer Cyberking rising from the Thames was stretching things a bit far

                              Loved the explaination as to how the Cybermen got to Victorian London

                              Is it me, or did the Cyberking's throne look like the Electric Chair, even my OH thought so
