...did you happen to catch Tim McInnerny's turn on last season's Doctor Who ep "The Planet Of The OOD?"

I rarely find time to watch shows when they're broadcast. I usually buy the DVDs, for shows that I like, years later. For example, the 2005 Dr. Who series is in its fourth season, and I've only seen two episodes so far: The Girl in the Fireplace, and Planet of the Ood. I recall watching The Girl in the Fireplace because you had mentioned here that it was a good episode. I watched Planet of Ood because I read that Lord Percy had a role, so I didn't want to miss it. No doubt, in a few years, I'll purchase all the 2005 Dr. Who seasons in one fell swoop, and then do a binge marathon when the opportunity presents itself.
Or you could just download the torrents in a matter of days like I do.
Just in the past two weeks I downloaded every episode of Blake's 7, The Sweeney, and WKRP In Cincinnati.
Nevertheless, Doctor Who episode for episode is the best show on TV right now. I can't say there aren't a few that I went "meh" to, but more often than not it's pretty awesome.
IMO the 2007 season was the best in recent years. It went on a roll with 8 consecutive great episodes, Human Nature, Family Of Blood, Blink, Utopia, The Sound Of Drums, Last Of The Time Lords, Time Crash, and Voyage Of The Damned.
Smith And Jones, The Shakespeare Code, and the most imaginatively brilliant Gridlock were absolutely awesome as well. In fact, I think out of the whole season I only said "meh" to 5 of them. I think that's pretty good considering most other TV series' I see can rarely pull off those kind of odds.
