Fri 18 July 2008 - That show

Posted in Consumerism, Doctor Who — Daniel @ 6:40am

That cult show, the one I’ve liked for 30+ years. I think it’s really gone mainstream.

Doctor Who: Voyage of the Damned ads on phone booths

Nice touch the ads being on phone booths, too. Not quite as well done as the Get Smart ones though.

    Hm, do I get a prize for guessing those are the ones on the corner of Bourke and Elizabeth? I’m so glad that Who is on Sunday nights this year… people are actually watching and talking about it. Suck that, Big Brother :)

    Pity we don’t have the old red telephone boxes anymore, those posters would look fantastic on one side of them, full length ;)

    Good guess Nathan! I tried to get a pic with all four of the posters in it, but a big truck was in the way.

    Kylie Minogue did the trick didn’t she? She’s also an appalling actor.

    I might further my criticism by saying that Voyage of the Damned is, whilst excellent plot-wise, poor when it comes to character development. And compared to the rest of the season, is puerile.

    The ONLY reason why they’re up all over the place is because “our” Kylie is in it for a whole one episode. Gah. /jaded.

    It’s the “Christmas Special” episode. Those are always extra cheesy. And we had NONE of that kind of promo here in the U.S. where it runs on the Sci-Fi Channel. In fact, there’s not a whole lot done to promote Doctor Who here in the U.S.

    Pity.

    Is it me or is Kylie starting to resemble surgical knife junkie Jocelyn Wildestein?
