timepiececlockI got to download a few episodes of the BBC miniseries "Blackpool" yesterday. I ended up getting them out of order, so I watched episode 1 and then 3. Actually, "watched" is an overstatement. I skipped past everything except the scenes with David Tennant, the next Doctor Who.
I came to the conclusion that all was well and good for the future Doctor Who episodes because DT was adorable as can be. His accent was not what I want the Doctor to have-- sounded a bit too young-- but he was still adorable overall. Very pretty-boyish, but in endearing way, not a snotty way. Like a puppy or something. And then there was a kissing/making-out/up against the wall scene, and I was thinking "this is going to be useful for inspiring Doctor/Rose fics" until...
... they started singing.
Yes, it's a musical. And because I'd previously skipped past any scenes that didn't have DT and entirely missed episode 2, the fact that it was a musical was complete news to me.
So they're singing while having sex.
And I finally have to turn it off because I can't. stop. snickering.
Then I turn it back on and fast forward some more, and there's this scene where DT's cop character and a bunch of others are coming up to arrest these two punk kids, and they all start singing and walking like zombies or something, and all I can think is that Sweet, the singing demon, must have got to them! I swear it looked just like a scene from Buffy's Once More With Feeling.
I'll watch the whole thing later I'm sure.
