Dr Who.... pls share your feelings for Catherine Tate

[directhex]

there have been worse assistants.

but she DOES suck.

[sammyc]

don't like; as Behemoth said, a (dare i say it ) feisty character is no bad thing but would always rather see an unknown or at least someone not so well known for something else (esp if you don't even like the something else either).

in fact i think it might make the show more watchable if the dr's sidekick was a sack of potatos
it was always going to be a bit iffy with her comeing in, but IMO shes doesn't look the part anyway.... Billy was far better

[DavidM]

Well I shall probably get flamed for it , but I quite honestly like her in Doctor Who, for a start she actually challenges the Doctor, like she did in the last epiosde. I appreciated she's a bit like Marmite, you either like her, or from the postinsg I've seen here, you hate her.

Unlike previous assistants the Doctor has had it's always been a bit yes Doctor, no Docyor three bags full Doctor. Or the "Will he notice me" type thing that went on in the last series which was so darn apparant from the second episode.

I found her less annoying then I feared - and I agree that she at least doesn't want to jump in bed with him.. which is something you can't say about any other companion (except Adam and Ricky/Micky) in the new series.

I still would rather have had Freema, Billie or Kylie however
(And preferbly all 3 )

[DavidM]

i didnt like tate in this at all, ruined it for me and im bored of it now tbh. The latest episode(rome) was a good settings really but with her it just ruined the entire thing. Bring back that martha character, all i remember was reading about them forcing her too leave or something, she was the best imo as she suited the part.

Not strictly true.... as she popped into Cardiff to help out Jack + chums... and I don't think it's the last you'll see of Martha Jones with the Doctor

you mean all combined like this??

[DavidM]

Personally I think the Doctor should drop her into the Volcano ...

[Cozwin]

well here is how doctor who unfolded for me

woot Christopher Eccleston rock on.
Series one rocked

Series two came... david tennant ok i guess that could work... oh god it doesnt work as well as chris oh well ill keep watching.

Series 3 didnt watch one episode as i think freema sucks.

Latest christmas special .... kylie minogue no thanks.

Latest series have yet to watch one as i hate catherin tate so much she just isnt funny.

[DavidM]

I prefer Freema to Tate - and Kylie wasn't so bad

[Lucio]

Is anyone else shocked, that throughout this thread it's a fairly consistant opinion that Billie was good in the role?? I mean, she can't be all that bright, she married Chris Evans....

[DavidM]

Judging by the last few moments of "Partners In Crime" - I rather suspect we've not seen the last of Billie.

i thought that too

[Funkstar]

Married him, took some of his money and divorced him? seems like she is smart enough

She also came accross really well on Top Gear.

[EvilWeevil]

Just repeating what everyone else has said, me...

She's awful.

I'm looking forward to Billie Piper's return as suggested at the end of episode 1. And anyone else looking forward to, or at least interested in, Richard Dawkins's upcoming appearance?

[Anastie]

Could not stand Catherine Tate in Dr Who. Billie for me
