Doctor, Doctor, Gimme the News...

Well, the new series of BBC sci-fi (or syfy if you're one of those guys... arses) staple, Doctor Who is starting to hit its considerable straps and last Saturday's episode promised the return of one of his most terrifying adversaries... that's right, Graham Norton.

Yes, just as Matt Smith's Eleventh Doctor was making a potentially lore-shattering realisation about the creepy as nuts Weeping Angels, a cartoonified Norton ambled onto the screen carrying a banner for the Beeb's latest Lloyd Webber kickback 'Has Anyone Seen My Dorothy?' or whatever it's called. This isn't the first time that Norton has attempted to scupper the Time Lord's galaxy-saving exploits - in 2005 Norton's voice invaded the opening scene of the first episode.


The Whovians were rightly outraged complaining to Twitter and message boards in their droves. "Let's nip this advert crap in the bud now before the Beeb become as low rent as ITV" said one furious fan, "This isn't Monster Trucks followed by Pets Do the Funniest Things, it's drama where the pleasure is in being completely drawn in for 55 minutes" another pointed out. This collective outpouring of fury left Auntie with no choice but to issue an apology about the timing of the trail.

Hopefully next week's concluding part will be unsullied by the Doctor's greatest individual nemesis since the Master. Looks a cracker, mind.

Let me know if Norton somehow makes it onto this blog and ruins today's cliffhanger, won't you?
