Can anyone say “we spent so much on the Cybermen and Black Hole episodes” that they needed to make a really cheap episode without most of the major cast members…

At least the “Torchwood Files” got a couple of mentions!

So, is Elton the next assistant, or will he not reppear?

update - according to confidential, this episode was necessary ‘cos they were filming it alongside the previous two, and had to include very little of the Doctor and Rose, ‘cos they were busy making the Black Hole episodes!

When the third part of the Fast & Furious franchise decided to go all Japanese, and move from American street racing to Japanese Drifting, there was some hope, however, it’s a story between schoolkids with mafia connections, and the (minimal) plot is only really there to serve the driving scenes.

Yes, if you’re a petrolhead, it’s spectacular (I can think of a couple of my work colleagues who’ll like it a lot) but it relies too much on the cars, and not enough on the actors. There is no real connection (apart from a fairly brief cameo) to either of the first two films, but even then, the films falls flat during the final race, you know from the start who’se going to win…

Predicatable and Dull, but some eye-candy for the petrolheads who like their Japanese motors…
