At the time of my writing my bio Doctor Who was under the charge Russel T Davies, for those of you unfamiliar with his work, he is prolific gay writer, and would constantly insert references to sexuality into his Doctor Who scripts, now having a message in your writing is fine, but there's a time and a place and I watch Doctor Who for the adventure and thrills, not for the agenda of the writer. Fortunately thi year saw a new production team and a new lead actor take over the show, Matt Smith as the new Doctor is just wonderful and you should all see his series if you haven't yet. As for Star Trek, I like all the 90's series such Next generation, but dislike Enterprise and I find the original appallingly badly written, problem with Sci-fi fform that era (50's-60's) is that the writers thought because the setting was out of this world, the characters and dialogue had to be, the only show from that era the doesnt really do that is the Twilight zone, I've only seen a few episodes but they've been some of best written TV I've seen in a while and it came from the 1950's! > I noticed The Wolf talking about Doctor Who in his p> (he would like to write for that series) and LordRahl > recently suggested that "Farscape" would be a better plot > than Peter Pan for "BOOH".
