So not only do we get another season of Dr Who, we also get to see his former companion chasing aliens around Cardiff. Hooray!

Television is the opiate of the masses. Just say 'no'.

You know how Sturgeon's Law says that 90% of everything is crap (or words to that effect)? This looks like being part of the other 10%
And according to the BBC, P.J. Hammond ("Sapphire and Steel") is involved.

It's just part of RTD's secret plan to get more shots of mens' bums on British television ...
Cheers,

i'm not convinced by Capt Jack. i think it's because he's american, and a bit too "champion quarterback".

Wheras I think he's dodgy as hell (in a dishonest sense) - which is strangely why I like him. The vibe they had going between him and the Doctor was also kindof cool...

Well the British have had a good run of telling interesting stories about dodgy-as-hell characters. Arthur Daley for one... and also didn't this whole series start off with a dodgy-as-hell alien on the run with a stolen Tardis?
I'm more interested in Jack being a 51st century man... and whether there will be any references to the 51st century as described in "Talons of Weng-Chiang".
I don't think Jack's so much gay as being willing to flirt with anything that isn't nailed down, and probably quite a few things that are. I'm sort of surprised he didn't offer to show the Daleks alternative uses of their sink plungers...

Apparently, sexual orientation isn't a problem anymore in their version of the 51st Century. As for CJ's bum, one can only hope. I know I am!!!

Er, omnivorous means 'eats everything.' I'm sure you meant
omnisexual, ghet.
