The Doctor Who story that has just finished (Paradise Towers, 5-26 October BBC1) has been one of the best for years. A superb script, wonderful characters, great acting, direction and sets, have all combined to produce the most original story seen in a very long time. If anything like this standard can be maintained then the series is well worth keeping. Perhaps with Sylvester McCoy as the Doctor we will see a return to the great days of Doctor Who.

Then there was Ken Dodd. Will there be a spin-off series - 'Ken Dodd and his Diddymen against the Daleks'? . .
