Reading lips isn’t easy

For people following Doctor Who, the opener for Season four was last night. There was a wonderful “pantomime” scene that I was able to follow 90% of the way through. Someone was nice enough to transcribe everything I wasn’t able to catch

doctorwho: 4×01 - The Doctor and Donna do Pantomime
Here, by virtue of lip-reading skills, and a little help from Doctor Who Confidential, is the transcription of the recognition scene from “Partners in Crime”. With pictures, simply because I cannot get enough of their expressions throughout the thing.

My review? Great. I’m glad to see Donna back in the series, as I thought she was a spectacular addition in the Christmas special from 2006. Sure some of it was campy, but… just look at some of what we saw in the 26 years up to 1989. At least the “campy” now as a special effects budget.

My recommendation? Watch it. You won’t regret it.

Go Donna Go!
