I expect those paying attention noticed anyway, but just in case:

CALAPINE MADE A BARBARA TRIBUTE VID! (I may have squeaked. In a good way). And, yes, it is of course as gorgeous as this combination of calapine's vidding skills and Jacqueline Hill/Barbara Wright's awesome would lead you to expect.

"Doctor Who's Matt Smith Talks Tea - Victoria Wood's Nice Cup of Tea - BBC One" (Watch on YouTube)

(Not that I wish to sound annoying, but if anyone really thinks there weren't any strong DW female characters and/or actresses before New Who - and I'm sure no one here does - watch this, and see how wrong a person can be. :-p)

I'm quite sure everyone on YOUR friends list knows better than to think RTD invented strong female characters (if they don't, send 'em to me and I'll soon set them right!)

Oo-er. What are you going to do to them? :lol:

[persiflage-1.livejournal.com]

Isn't it obvious? Oppress them with Barbara, Liz, Sarah Jane, Romana (I and II), Nyssa and Ace TV episodes...

:loL: (Serve them right, too!)

Exactly! If you're going to make assinine comments, prepare to regret 'em!
