A warning from history

For those who are already getting over-excited about the prospect of a certain diminutive female singer turning up in Doctor Who, I have two words of caution:

Bonnie. Langford.

I'm not saying it will be that bad, I'm just saying it rang alarm bells, and the scars are still deep. So very deep.

(If you're reading this then my blog posting problem is fixed... yay!)

Labels:

Joanna  True... I still get flashbacks....

But also remember the last diminuative female singer in Doctor Who was a certain Billie Piper. I cringed when I first heard she was going to be in it, but she did OK...

And can I just say in my best Martin Clunes voice.... mmmmmmm Kylie :) 
Becky  For some reason the same alarm bells didn't go off when Billie was first mentioned, perhaps because I didn't really remember her pop "career" and thought of her more as "that bird what used to hang around with that ginger twat." :-) 
Flat Out  Harsh but fair.

Could I add to the warning:

1. Lulu (not two words, but two syllables - and of equal dread)

2. Spice Girl - take your pick, really, it ain't a pretty thought

I need a lie down. And not in a good way. 
NH  ...and for Kylie Minogue ringing alarm bells, remember two other words that Whovians should shudder at: Catherine Tate.

I'm going to stick up for Lulu. She was great in "To Sir With Love" and I've always found her cute. I'd do Lulu.

"You'd do Lulu?"

"To you, I say I would do Lulu"

"Would you get a tattoo that says 'Lulu'?"

"There are two tatoos I would do that say 'I would do Lulu'"

Whoa, getting a bit Two Ronnies there. 
Kate Weston  There is difference, Kylie after all started off as an actress - who can forget her performance in 'Neighbours' ... alarm bells! alarm bells! 
Kat  Two words:

Clare Grogan

(swoon)

Not only an actress of sorts in Gregory's Girl, but also the original Kochanski in Red Dwarf.

And Altered Images, natch. 
Pete Johns  Three words: Catherine Bl00dy Tate! 
Joanna  argh.. Catherine Tate :( 
NH  I spoke too soon...Catherine Tate is coming back for all 13 episodes of the new series and in the guise of her shrieking harridan character of Donna, the Runaway Bride.

If I have a piece of advice to give to RTD it's don't feel the need to keep bringing back every character you've written. Just let some of them die or walk off never to be seen again! 
Freiya  the Catherine Tate news is disapointing, i was really hoping for Jessica Stevenson to be the new assistant, i kinda thought that's what they were working towards.....or Sally Sparrow from 'blink', she'd of been fab!
hmmmmmm, instead we get Kylie and Catherine Tate......
