voyage of the damned

[fox]

I just remembered that I haven't said anything about the Christmas special, which I watched on Boxing Day.  (I also haven't read many of your thoughts on the subject; I suppose I might, when I have some spare time today.)  I don't have an awful lot; basically, the crux of my reaction is "Dear Rusty:  I know this show is about the Titanic.  But I thought you should know that the Poseidon called -- it wants its Adventure back."

I didn't post about watching it, partly because I hoped that by not talking about it, I could pretend it never happened. It was just so... bad. Just NOT good television.

My reaction was:

Dear Russell T. Davies,

Enough already with the robot henchmen disguised as Christmas decor. Please to be coming up with different ideas for next Christmas.

That said I did do something of a squee over the bridge crew being the guys from As Time Goes By and The History Boys (old and young respectively). And as a gay male child of the 80s, Kylie Minogue = Yay! Aside from that the only really good moment for me was the newspaperman who was like "London? At Christmas? What do you expect?"

*snorts* I had the same thought. Although I will take David Tennant in black tie over Shelly Winters in her underwear any day.
