It featured three New Zealand actors, namely: Karl Urban, Marton Csokas, and ... John Key.

In case you missed it, here he is, playing a CIA agent:

I always thought it was compulsory for the Doctor actor to change... oh sorry, 'reincarnate'... every series. Not at all sure about this actor doing a whole heap of programmes thing.

The Doctor regenerates (not reincarnates) whenever the actor feels like not playing the Doctor any more.

The only actor…

I always thought it was compulsory for the Doctor actor to change... oh sorry, 'reincarnate'... every series.

Russell T. Davies is the executive producer and head writer – and Doctor Who has been through a few of those over the last forty three and a bit years. The odd thing…

Oh hell, yes – and seventeen years later, I'm still surprised that ABC's standards and practices folks didn't just say 'if you think that's going to air, you're high". Tad Friend did a fascinating New Yorker profile that goes into some detail about the increasingly bizarre notes from the…

Any truth to the persistent rumour that RTD is quitting after the next series?

RTD himself has said much as he loves it, he doesn't want to do Doctor Who for the rest of his life. I'd take what the guy says at face value: He's always been hired on…

Two words: John Sim!!

Three more words: He. Is. Worthy. Though you've really got to feel a little sorry for Derek Jacobi – there's a really funny patch in the podcast for Utopia, where costume designer Louise Paige and producer Phil Collinson both said how excited he was. And he…

I thought I had it all figured out, but Utopia freaked me out so much that I was watching through my fingers.

The week before, Blink – made me realise I may not be too old to hide behind the couch.

Sound of Drums is the first time I've ever…

I really need to join Spoiler Sluts Anonymous, but Utopia & The Sound of Drums? Bugger. Me.

Hell to the yeah!

I thought I had it all figured out, but Utopia freaked me out so much that I was watching through my fingers. And then with the final revelation, I was…

BTW, could Prime please kick off Doctor Who immediately. I really need to join Spoiler Sluts Anonymous, but Utopia & The Sound of Drums? Bugger. Me.

Two words: John Sim!!

Er ... BTW ... I've tried to get into BSG – but without success. It's right up there with Babylon 5 and Star Trek Deep Space 9 isn't it?

Well, I think so – then again, DS9 is my favourite Trek show precisely because it was (deliberately) intended to be…

That would be the era when there were no seat belts in the back seats of cars? In fact the back seat was always one long bench seat meaning you'd sliiiiide all the way across everytime Dad took a…

'6' & '7'? it's digital TV for heaven's sake, not that clunky rotary dial on the side of the old black and white TV

I yearn for the days of the rotary channel dial. That satisfying "clunk" as it slotted into the next setting. As kids it was our job to…

When will they screen season 3 of Battlestar? There are some webisodes online to connect season 2 and 3 to feed Battlestar fever in the meantime. Tricia Helfer scares the bejesus out of me.

I like Supernatural, but no one ever said it was an awfully smart programme.

Boy, that deserves a prize for the best use of understatement in a PAS comment. Supernatural is much like Smallville . Sometimes I'm just in the mood to power down the brain and pig out on…

Actually, the Tricia Helfer ep, Roadkill, occurs in the second half of season two. She was pretty good in…

Someones head (in schedules) will roll when management find that out. MIT should have been stopped at the pentultimate episode with a statement from TVNZ PR that this will allow a decent run of…

It's not chronological.

It's not the order they aired in the UK.

But it is the order they're listed in on the menu on the BBC page of the series...

Only hope there's some truth to the rumours that Helfer and Lucy Lawless get a nice juicy plotline as BSG comes to a close...

Phwoar!

cylon babe Tricia Helfer.

Not only a babe, but Battlestar Galactica also happened to find perhaps the only ex-Victoria's Secret model who can really act. (No, whatever Tyra Banks does is not acting,) Only hope there's some truth to the rumours that Helfer and Lucy Lawless get a nice juicy…

'6' & '7'? it's digital TV for heaven's sake, not that clunky rotary dial on the side of the old black and white TV. Don't they know on digital TV are now allowed to use letters, even more than one at a time.

Personally I see it as a massive lack…

Beverly Hills 90210?

And did Hollyoaks never run in NZ?
