Hi, here via who_daily (although I've noted several reviews in the past that I've agreed with you on and I don't remember even commenting!).
Hello! It's nice to see you.
Have you seen The Second Coming?
I haven't seen either The Second Coming or Casanova, which I hear are his two heartbreakers!
I don't want to give anything away, but there's, in a way, the flipside of Mickey and Holly, of turning around and saying, "It was you, it was always you." You get some of that with Vince and Stuart, but set in a much larger context, this tiny little human story in a huge, world-changing whirlwind. It's my favourite of RTD's love stories, and the most painful. (Just once, would it kill RTD to give CE an ending that didn't rip your heart out? Seriously.)
He's really good at writing very vivid and real relationships against a backdrop of a larger world. And he's been building up -- the progression from Qaf to B&R to DW makes sense and I look forward to seeing how TSC, Casanova, and whatever he does next fit into his style.
I love the web of connections there are with RTD. He did QaF and Donna from that is in B&R. Murray Gold did the music for QaF and then also The Second Coming, Casanova, and (of course) Doctor Who. Lesley Sharp from B&R just guested on DW (and she's in TSC, too, I hear, with CE) and Penelope (Bob's mum) and Jessica (Holly) have also both guest-starred on Who. And David was in Casanova before he was in Who. And they're all immensely talented people.
