  • Steve Parks,

    -- if only we weren't waiting sixteen months or so to see him in action.

    So do we (here in NZ) have another series of Tennant yet to be shown?

    Yet to be shown, yet to be made. Well, not another 'series', but a bunch of 'special episodes'. I believe Prime is up to date except for the latest Christmas Special.

  • Rob Hosking,

    I remembered the song Tom Lehrer wrote sending up musicals like Jesus Christ Super Star, the words of which went something like, 'Jesus, you're making it big on Broadway - Gosh it's good to see your name in lights,' etc. I think it was banned in the 70s

    Tom Paxton, not Tom Lehrer. It was called 'Jesus Christ SRO'

    And if it was banned it took them a while. I remember hearing it on good old conservative 1ZB and loving it: the satire went a bit over my head (I would have been about nine) but I liked the sound of the words.

    From memory it began 'Jesus loves me this I know/gave me [something] seats for his show'. Also some line about 'this time round you're a little bit looser/all you really needed was the right producer'.

    'this time round you're a little bit looser/all you really needed was the right producer'

    I read this and thought of David Garrett. Sad but true.

  • Stewart,

    Re Dr Who my understanding is that there will be 4 stand-alone 'special' episodes with no particular recurring assistant but with guest stars. These are yet to be filmed because of David Tennant's back injury but will be filmed & aired this year in the UK. No idea when they will be on-screen here.

    The new series with the new Doctor isn't due to start filming until 2010.

    (I'm not really a fanboi...)

    Tom Paxton - of course!! Thank you Rob. My excuse is my slightly advanced age. No wonder I couldn't find it in the Tom Lehrer Youtube clips!

    Gave me house seats to his show. Some things I still remember.
