Dr Who, Agatha Christie And The Giant Wasp

Have I given it away?

Not really the show is called the Unicorn and the Wasp and here is Donna fighting the giant wasp but where is it from?

Tonight’s episode is written by Gareth Roberts, who previously wrote the pseudohistorical episode The Shakespeare Code. Does that tell us any more?
We know that Agatha Christie appears.........But did you know that in 1926, she disappeared for 10 days?

OK most people know this but what went on in those 10 days? Roberts, a self-confessed fan of Christie’s works, has used his vivid and wacky imagination to build a fascinating and light hearted episode of Dr Who magic.

Did dear Agatha have amnesia? A nervous breakdown? Or a giant alien wasp?

Guess what Roberts has chosen. There's a body in the library, (of course) poisoned cocktails, and that bad-tempered giant wasp from another planet. (Hooray)

Not a serious episode this one so expect Catherine Tate to be in her element and David Tennant plays the Dr any which way. However, I'm not sure how to take Dr Who when it's more like a comedy than a sci-fi but then the old shows look comical in comparison to the new ones.

Fenella Woolgar stars as Agatha Christie and also The Good Life star Felicity Kendal stars as Lady Clemency Eddison.

It starts on BBC1 tonight at 7pm.

Robbie's A Secret Geordie Boys Fan


The Times (and other sources) are reporting further details today on how Robbie Williams only agreed to leave his beloved LA home IF he was presenting an award to Ant and Dec.

Maybe he has a secret passion for short quick whitted northern boys?

As I said yesterday, Catherine Tate should had won the 2005 British Comedy Awards however little Anthony and Declan picked up the award from Williams. Problem was that this award was the "People's vote". Ant and Dec were not up for any other gong and therefore, the organisers of the event had no way of knowing who could possibly win this?

Law firm Olswang found that while Jo Public were still voting, the ever-smiling duo, had already been given the prestigious trophy. Unfair? Oh yes.

"Am I bovered"
Catherine Tate has been unavailable for comment. She has enough brassware to show off and personally speaking, I think she is the Queen of TV comedy.
