^ very much enjoyed the new regeneration sequence and editing of the ending of that episode. Despite the heavy editing it was easy enough to follow the story and the right bits were shown. I'm yet to be disappointed with these newer versions of classic episodes.

Hopefully see some of you at 2pm for this week's 2003 chart ^_^

Well this one is tough! Went with Daft Punk but all of these are 10/10 songs

Back to the 00s airs on 17th January with additional shows from Lily Allen, Miquita Oliver, Moonchild Sanelly and Doves. Back to the 10s will be on the following Friday 24th January, details still TBC

Laufey to score a non-Christmas Top 40 single

Surely Whitney would've said to Zack she's not heard from her? Jack? Kat? Sometimes the finer details are lacking. I know they can't cover everything and I'm sure it'll be addressed on screen at some point because of the storyline cycles

Looking back on the 2013 posts in this thread calling it a future modern classic shows Buzzjack has got a good ear

I don't think I'm ready for next week to turn focus on Suki, Eve and Nish. I seriously hope the New Year's Day episode sees him gone for good. Spoilers suggesting that

Rudebox is iconic though :(

In your opinion. Can we not railroad every Doctor Who thread into these repeated wafflings x

I've had a little time to digest this now and can see why people weren't impressed. It was very much 95 minutes of the same stuff from each episode that has aired previously. Select moments were funny but it didn't feel like it was supposed to be *that* funny? The whole thing felt more of a fan pleaser than an actual attempt a finishing the show. I thoroughly enjoyed it but then I rewatch the show regularly so perhaps my opinion is blindsided by my general love for the show/characters that I can't see anything wrong with what we were given :lol:

Charli's Club classics was also featured *.* But not having any effect at all ugh

Rudimental mix out today

Oh it's got to be Anna surely! There was a missed joke opportunity to call Cindy out for being found on her back again :kink:

Yeah definitely here for The Days rising a lot, Dirty Cash too. No Bad Vibes from Jazzy could be big

Possibly my favourite episode of Ncuti's tenure so far. Echoing the comments about the Doctor's year with Anita. The Villengard is so intriguing I hope they continue to explore that arc some more. Nice touch to see Ruby appear too

4m and 4.4m viewers last night respectively, Part 2 put the show 5th overall. Up on last year a fair bit and really strong in the 10:30pm slot to increase viewership (though could just be people not switching over after Gavin & Stacey). Last night showed how "event television" still works on major holidays

Emil Franchi has brought the 00s strand of Absolute Radio to the main Absolute station this evening 7-10pm to do a bit of showcasing. It does make me hope that they'll start putting some more effort into the decade station itself in 2025. The weekday daytime schedule is fine but it'd be good to see some genre specific shows, classic charts etc like they do with the 80s and 90s stations as the 00s grow more popular in terms of nostalgia.

Anna would be interesting. They can and will go there on occasions, just look at Bobby/Lucy and the shockwaves that's had for over 10 years. (Please can it be Jane :lol:)

The little nods to the past too like Ian smashing up the living room (reminiscent of Arthur doing exactly the same on Christmas 86) and Cindy collapsing under the tree (like Pauline Christmas 06)

I was literally shouting f*** off from the moment she came on screen :lol:

Skrillex has chopped his hair off and cleared his social media, looks like we have something new incoming!

Nigel was before my time too but I've seen clips of him over the years. He was very good friends with Phil and Grant so I hope Phil gets to see him. We did get a brief (random) return of his daughter Clare in 2008 where he was mentioned sporadically, it would be good to see her too!

Still lots of Christmas music floating around on that upcoming 2003 one as the 28th was also the day the chart was announced (Oops at my earlier post saying the last chart was the final one of the year. Could've sworn they didn't have 2003 confirmed for this week previously)
