"And I can't help this feeling that I could blow through the ceiling..."

[mooging]

First of all: (in which I abuse capslock and my mother makes wonderful drunk comments)

I hereby demand that normal Top Gear is put on after the watershed. IT MUST BE DONE. Everything is just better when they can swear. Jeremy saying 'What the fuck is this?' was not only contextually right (because, ew, shitty music that was playing) but also the natural order of the world.

Anyway. James saying 'Cold Play' was utterly brilliant. 

And their fiascos with dry-ice! And chickens! And wind-machines! *smushes them all*

My mother came in just before the Top Gear House Band started their Song of Joy (and she was quite, quite drunk at this point, having just returned from a meal out) and then proceeded to lean over the sofa arm and on my shoulders, heavily, and make disparaging remarks about them all.

Also, every time James was on screen, she insisted on shouting 'HELLO GAY ONE', loudly, near my ear. She then made such astute comments as 'Hahaha, that little one looks like a squirrel' (yes Mother, this has been mentioned before - also, the small rodent you're looking for would be a hamster) and 'Aha, the rude one, whassisname 'My Clarkyfun' is shitting bricks on his drum-kit!' and 'They're crap'.

I kid you not. She referred to Jeremy Clarkson as 'My Clarkyfun'.

My mother is quite brilliant, is she not?

ALSO ALSO ALSO the rampant gayness! Jeremy and Richard doing most of the song gazing at each other! James, lovely, English, masculine-yet-feminine, don't-touch-me, I-have-personal-space-issues James, waggling his tongue at Richard. I think my little slashy heart went poof. It is accurate, yes?

Ahem.

I just watched Recovery, and my God, that was a difficult thing to watch. More uncomfortable than anything else, and WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME. I have spent such a long time not liking David Tennant. I cannot like him now.

I think what my issue is with him is that he replaced Christopher Eccleston as The Doctor and then proceeded to be a bit utterly crap. His Doctor only has 'hyper', 'breathy-and-serious' or 'angry' mode, and I don't like it. That is not my Doctor. I also haven't got the greatest opinion of real-life!David. Did anyone see that BBC programme about tracing your ancestors, whatever the hell it was called, with him on? I kind of caught bits of it, and damn, he just came across rude and blunt and I didn't like him.

Having said that, I loved him in Casanova. He impressed me a fair bit in Recovery. I loved Doomsday from Doctor Who, but that could have been because he was being subtle. I like his subtle acting. I like it quite a lot. He looks good in a suit and a big flappy brown coat, and he has very pretty eyes and he does quiet man pain rather well.

Everything else, no. STOP SHOUTING YOU ANNOYING MAN.

Sorry about that. I get fairly wound up about David Tennant.

I do not protest too much oh God, what if I do?

I want Christopher Eccleston back as my Doctor now, plzkthx.

And while I'm ranting about Doctor Who, what ever happened to the script quality? It was like they decided to go from this intelligent, moving, well-acted genius first come-back series to this abysmal heap of shite that was thought too much of itself, not thought through enough and just not what I had come to expect.

Third series, you have damn well got some making up to do to me.

On a completely unrelated note: I just spell-checked this thing, and where I've written 'whassisname', the spell-check is offering me 'viciousness'. I think not.

Jeremy just naturally needs to be allowed to swear. He is wrongly restricted by the eight o'clock timeslot.

And yes! I didn't notice the at-Hammond aspect of it on the first watching, but on watching it again it's very clear that either James waggles his tongue very pointedly at Richard or the editors are huge slash fans.

Much agreement regarding Tennant as the Doctor. Nine's series was just so much better in every way.

I think you have my taste. I cannot stand Tennant in Who and he does shout all the darn time and I absolutely adore James May. Keep up the May love.

OH, I AM SO IN LOVE WITH YOUR MOTHER IT'S A LITTLE ODD.

Highlights would be 'My Clarkyfun' and 'HELLO GAY ONE'. Especially 'HELLO GAY ONE'. XD

I absolutely loved the chicken and 'Cold Play'. And Jeremy being able to say 'fuck' made me squee a ridiculous amount.

OH, I LOVE TG. ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY DO THE MUSIC.

Bwahahahahaha!I shall be watching the Top Gear on TOTP for the first time down in Manchester with my friend Katie and we shall be drinking lots of rum whilst watching it, so it may be very fun indeed. :D

I LOVE your mum. She is comedy genius.

PS- I throughly enjoy your Tennant rants.

Ohhhh Moog...you just knew I would have to come here and talk David Tennant didn't you? I saw his name and I got all excited and happy. I tell you, I fall in love with him a little more each day...with Catherine Tate on Comic Relief?? BLOODY BRILLIANT. Then later he came out with all stubble and moistness and sexy clothes and just..ooohhhhh....I died, man. I actually died and went to heaven.

Anyway, enough of the fangirl swooning.

Right, Recovery..I'm assuming you love, yes?? YEY!!!
This is good. Don't worry about the fact you love him in this and Casanova and hate him in Dr Who, just feel the love and hate at separate times...and talk to me about the love bit!!!!

And I will not go into the whole Christopher/David thing cos we know we always reach stalemate and end up in 'Christopher smells' kinda conversations...which are a helluva lotta fun, but silly nevertheless!!

I'm going to watch the next series from the beginning so will be able to analyse things a whole lot with with you, my darling.

LOVE YOU, LOVELY LOON!

*Can't get image of Captain Jack bending Dr Who over the control panel out of head*
