Doctor who: The Age Of Steel

[Joe Shmoe]

Wasn't that a brilliant conclusion after last weeks cliff hanger? But what about Mickey and his shock departure? I for one liked his character and will miss him. Although RTD has not ruled out a possible return.:-D

[Suzyboo]

He will doubtless return eventually - Russell has to keep re-using characters because he lacks imagination

[marwel7]

I'll miss Mickey,which is a great thing to say as the character was such a wimp in "Rose".The great thing about Doctor Who is that nothing has to be ruled out,even though The Doctor did say that they couldn't return.The series just gets better.

The lack of imagination is shocking !

The TARDIS can travel anywhere in time and space yet he sticks to mainland Great Britain either in the past,present or future !

C'mon already !

[Coobeastie]

Why can't he stick to Britain...makes a difference to american sci-fi where the aliens always decamp in the good ol us of a.

Thanks for all your replies. Idon't think that RTD lacks imagination. I think it is partly a matter of budget and partly as he has said in previous interviews he does not want to do alien planets unless it can look believable. He Does not want to end up filming in a quarry like the old days. They did set Dalek in america albeit underground. But personally I like the fact that it is in familliar surroundings as I think it makes it seem more likely and more chilling. At least it is not all in the one place.:-D
