I hate to admit it, but I’ve seen the leaked premier. After reading the glowing review on Warren Ellis’ blog, I couldn’t resist.
Within the first 15 minutes, I knew what I was watching. (And, in fact, I recognized the Autons!) Other than the lack of a long coat, big hair, and scarf, this guy is him. (Though, I don’t think I’ll be shaving my head to continue my fashion tutelage.)
It’s like things picked up right where they left off–cheesy plot, goofy incidental music, sonic screwdriver, and all. Most important of all: I’m so glad that it didn’t get a revival by way of an American studio, although I do wish it’d gotten picked up by the SciFi Channel.
Just as soon as there’s a DVD for sale, I’ll be ordering it. I don’t suppose they take foriegn donations? Or maybe I could just pay off some Briton to offset the taxes or license fees they paid to support the show’s production? I don’t even care if this was a promotional stunt.
