Hmm, I rather liked the interview. (I'm a slight Dr. Who fan, but I'm not even entering into that debate if noone minds.)

I was interested to read that the plans for Series 9 in 1995 weren't far advanced. In a weird way, I'm a little glad that series didn't happen, especially if they intended to "go VR", since I'm not sure how well it would have turned out.

I was slightly amused to read us being put forward as the reason work is ongoing on the new version. Something tells me there's a little more to it than that, but good on Tim for his question evading skills via flattery. ;)

Yes, he'd make an outstanding politician.

I thought the interview was excellent - thank you, Kieran. It gives much food for thought for any Knightmare fan.

As for Doctor Who... my sister has a Doctor Who novel co-dedicated to her, but I've never seen an episode myself, I'm afraid. All I can contribute is this  :-[:

I'll give the interview a proper read later today, still it's nice to hear Tim commenting on KM!

Ber-limey, Drassil, was that cartoon made by Terry Gilliam?

And why am I suddenly reminded of a cat saying, "I can smell your brain..."?

Just a shame about the lazy use of the archaic "Is-it-near-Uranus?-I-love-it-when-you-talk-dirty!" gag.

Very kind of you Drassil.  You told me about the book a few months ago, very impressive :)

Impressive for the author as well: he wrote it and had it published whilst he was a student.

Well I'd hate to sound repetitive but....That's impressive! :)

I'll open a window to the world of Who in April sir.

I've never been what you'd call a fan of Dr. Who myself, but what I've seen of the new episodes I've quite enjoyed. Not something I'd make sure I was in to watch every week though. Not like KM... :)

Anyway. TC, if you're out there and you've got the time and patience, I'd like to know if your view on Dr. Who (and British Sci-Fi in general) has changed at all since seeing the new format of the show.
