From IMDB:

Cult TV show Doctor Who swept the board and took home three prestigious accolades at this year's BAFTA Television Awards - Britain's answer to the Emmys. The show, which currently stars British actor David Tennant as the timelord, took home Best Drama Series, Best Writing and the Pioneer Audience Award for Best Program of 2005. Meanwhile, Gillian Anderson lost out on the Best Actress award to Bleak House co-star Anna Maxwell Martin, but celebrated when the BBC's Charles Dickens TV adaptation was awarded Best Drama Serial. Sharon Osbourne and Simon Cowell's talent show The X Factor swept away competition from Friday Night With Jonathan Ross to win Best Entertainment Program. The British version of hit TV show The Apprentice saw Sir Alan Sugar take home the Best Feature Award, while celebrity chef Jamie Oliver was honored for his factual series Jamie's School Dinners, which saw him relentlessly campaign for nutritious children's food. Other winners included London soap Eastenders, and Matt Lucas and David Walliams' hit comedy sketch show Little Britain. Doctor Who star Billie Piper accepted awards for the show saying, "I'm having the time of my life. Doctor Who is the most amazing show to work on."

Eee! So whether or not it's a hit on Sci-Fi, there will be episodes to ahem for awhile to come.

Damn good, but just before bedtime ... not a good time to watch The Empty Child.

which is why I turned it off and watched a rerun of The Boondocks instead :) Just the one look at the creepy gas mask was enough for me. Ever since the Carver on Nip Tuck, masks have weirded me out.

Vortex, you don't have to wf aired stuff. (With like 3 levels of what people have seen, it's confusing enough anyway, IMO)

Guys In Skirts alert: David Tennant wore a kilt to the BAFTAs.

thanks, deb, wasn't sure, so I erred on the side of caution (not "aired" as I saw the other day) easy enough with a return and an "s"

Well, I found some nabbable pictures of DT in kilts but none of them are alone.

Battlestar Simpsons

Note that Tennant's birth name is McDonald, and he's wearing the McDonald tartan.

It finally clicked for me the other night why the B plot of "The Empty Child" seemed so familiar and odd to me. The whole magical realism bit (with a Union Jack-clad Rose sailing across the Blitz hanging from a balloon, a smiling Captain Jack spotting her from afar and resolving to meet her at once, the rescue using a floaty beam of light against the London skyline, and their susequent dance apparently suspended in mid-air before a brightly lit Big Ben) was very reminiscent of the first half of Moulin Rouge only without the singing. No wonder I was feeling so much cognitive dissonance zooming back and forth between that and the creepy main storyline.
