Doctors Revisisted -- Tenth Doctor special

Well, that was interesting. Lots of David Tennant! (Hooray! Also, I understood every single word he said. I knew he was doing something funky with his accent in Broadchurch!)

We also got Camille, and Noel, and Freema, and Bernard Cribbins. No Billie and no Catherine (I was sad about one of those absences; I'll let you guess which one *g*). Also, for some bizarre reason, we got Peter Davison. Why? All I can suppose is that it was some wink-wink reference to the fact that Peter is David's father-in-law, but it just seemed bizarre. And we didn't get Georgia, which would've actually been appropriate -- in fact, more appropriate than some of the other one-off characters we got instead (e.g., Alex from "Christmas Invasion," otherwise known as "Harriet Jones helper-dude, and-I-bet-you-didn't-know-his-name-was-Alex").

At the end, Steven Moffat introduced "Stolen Earth / Journey's End," and he was very touchingly appreciative of Russell's script. It's not my favorite series finale, but it was nice to hear Steven's viewpoint on it.
