Hi Guys, It’s your man in Havana, the Tin Dog ;)

As you said in the last podcast, the introduction of Kate Stuart!!! Mz Redgrave (sibling of British Film Aristocracy), God bless you Sir Micheal, gave that character Real gravitas. She’s gotta be a must, down the road.
On the whole, yes a 7 out of 10 episode, but the Shakri are too good to be a throw-away, hopefully this is a new race to be challenged in the future.

(Let me take a minute here just to say. How COOL has this show got?
when the likes of the Redgraves, Diana Rigg, Dalton etc and all of the Royal Shakespear Company are queueing up at the door to do a cameo)
So lets keep all of our criticisms in perspective here boys cos its all BRILLIANT! really.

I digress, So this time next week Greg, we will know if your Wibbly wobbly theory was correct. I think that you’ve definitly got something there though.
I agreed with all who said that the pay off money shot (everything getting soniced and fixed) in Cubed was a bit of a let down, as the journey geitimg there was sooo good.

Alas, we run into the same ol’ problem as Mercy.
Blockbuster plot-line v Time ? There is something special about 2 parters….
(a cliff-hanger. an extra 45 minutes to “flesh out” the characterisation and plot, I hear you say) that Moffat has body-swerved this season, whoops! I mean series. I went all American there, did you notice? ;) because of criticism about series 6 being too complex. But 2 parters serve a valuable function. I think that it is wrong to forgo the 90 minute format as they too can be Blockbusters.

And finally, the Jackson/Gayman Spectacular YES, YES, YES, YES, YES!
i just know that this 50th thang is gonna be FANTASTIC.
Well it had better be, as I’ve waited 49 years for it ;)
Episode 1, 1963 at my daddy’s knee. Oh the good ol’ days…..(Old Fanboy)
So its bina long time a cumin’

Anyway guys, hope you enjoy number 5 and remember,

“We’ll always have Manhattan”
