UK citizens: this snowfall is almsot certainly a sign of extra terretrial activity interfering with our climate, yes?
Thought so. Anyone seen Dreamland?

Summary from the BBC iPlayer site: America, 1958. The Doctor makes a new friend, Cassie, who reveals that anyone approaching the top secret Dreamland army base goes missing. The Doctor discovers an alien army hatching beneath the New Mexico desert, while inside Dreamland, survivors of an extraterrestrial war possess a weapon powerful enough to destroy Earth...

The thing I really picked up from 'Dreamland' is that I desperately want a Doctor Who video game. Are there any out there? Does anyone have any information on this?
Apart from the slightly shuddery graphics, it's a well put together plot, and if you can ignore the Doctor's thinning scalp and the fact that Georgie Moffett (who has given me the heebie jeebies ever since the Doctor's Daughter became the Doctor's Date. And you know Jenny's coming back now The Moff has taken over. Where was I?) voices one of the main companions, Cassie, it's a nice thing to watch with your tea of hotdogs and banana milkshake.
 And it's a far kinder farewell to Ten than EoT2! For me he will forever me enjoying Ming Dynasty Dim Sum in some tiny restaurant, perhaps with a napkin tucked into his collar, talking with his mouth full.

I loved Dreamland - it was so much fun. Georgie Moffet's accent was a bit funky, but I forgot about that pretty quickly.

The bit with the box, in the warehouse with the alien? So funny, and so Ten.

He had some great lines. I wished they'd used this script for a live action special earlier in the year.

That would have been great - although, the benefit of an animated story is that we can have awesome non-humanoid aliens without having to worry about SFX issues. And I really liked the aliens in Dreamland.
