Queer As Folk UK: Five impressions Vince Tyler had about the new series of Doctor Who.
1. Vince crossed out of the window in his web browser, leaned back in his chair. The door to the bathroom was ajar, and he heard the shower stop, feet pad out onto the tiles. "They're doin' a new Doctor Who."
"What?" Stuart squeaked undignifiedly, coming into view as he towelled his hair dry, features distorted by incredulity.
"Get this - Christopher Eccleston is goin' to play the Doctor - the ninth Doctor is going to be from Manchester! And he's played the son of God before. Just wait until you hear who plays his companion -"
"Vince, it could be Mary fucking Poppins that I wouldn't care," Stuart cut in, but there was amusement in his voice.
"Billie bleedin' Piper, Stuart! Pop icon made companion. I can't believe it! Shows you how much nothing's changed, female companions are still all about the cleavage and not much about the smarts. Although there was Liz Shaw..."
The bathroom door shut between Stuart and him, but that was hardly going to stop Vince. He raised his voice.
"Apparently the bloke behind the revival was a huge fan when he was a kid! Maybe there's hope for it!"
2. "Wait, a Time War? What? You can't kill all the Daleks! That's just wrong!"
3. "Oh, my god! Stuart!"
Stuart did not look away from the mirror he was checking his reflection in. "I told you, Vince, I don't give a flyin' shit what's happenin' with that kid."
"Who cares about the kid!" Vince's voice betrayed his excitement. "The new companion wants both into Rose's and the Doctor's pants! It's canon this time!"
Stuart looked away from the mirror to grimace uncomprehendingly at Vince. "Canon?"

4. "K-9!"
5. "Stuart?"
"Mmm?"
"I miss Captain Jack."
