Does the cheeky little shit from Human Traffic and Canterbury Tales really
have the gravitas to play The Master?

There's been a lot of crap minor celebrity casting in the new series, but
you'd think they would have learned from the mistakes of the TV Movie,
maybe?

No. No, I haven't.

Assuming he's in that, was he, or it, any good?

I watch a very limited range of TV, but I have a very good memory for
characters. Freema's mum was in Jonathan Creek.

Life on Mars was probably the best BBC programme of the last 10 years and
he excelled in it IMO. I`m certainly willing to give him a shot.

I reckon the bloke who played Gene Hunt would have made an interesting
Master!

Both series are available on DVD, I can`t recommend it highly enough. It`s
about a detective that falls through time and finds himself in a police
force in 1973 which is rotten to the core. Through out the series we are
left to wonder why he`s in 1973, whether it`s real or a dream and how he can
return to his own time.

It`s like an s/f version of The Sweeney and often hilarious. There wasn`t a
bad episode IMO.
