Over the first few weeks I will be going through, in chronological order of when it appeared on the show, my favourite moments of Modern Doctor Who! Enjoy. Click here for Part 1, here for Part 2, and here for Part 3.

16. "No POCKETS!" in The Runaway Bride

This was the scene where Donna Noble (portrayed by Catherine Tate) exclaims to the Doctor that she 'forgot' to tell her Wedding Dress designers to add pockets. This is when they are looking for change to pay for a Taxi and call Donna's family. It is a very comedic scene from an episode that is but a taster for the comedic genius that is Catherine Tate and David Tennant combined.

17. Donna Stops the Doctor in The Runaway Bride

This scene from The Runaway Bride is one where we see the Doctor get carried away and give in to his darker side. However, Donna steps in and tells the Doctor to stop after seeing that the monster they are fighting has suffered enough having lost all of its children leaving it the last of its kind. Right at the end of this episode Donna declines travelling with the Doctor but tells him that he must not travel alone because he needs someone to "tell [him] when to stop."

18. The Weeping Angels in Blink

Blink was the episode where many Whovians finally found a reason to be scared of statues. This was the episode where new writer, Steven Moffat, made his grand entrance by creating a monster that would scare Doctor Who fans for many years to come. It is amazing how, in such a short time, this monster has become so popular and among some of the scariest Doctor Who monsters along side the Daleks.

19. The Master and His Companion Dance in The Sound of Drums

It really showed how crazy those two were when they created the end of humanity as we know it and could still dance. It was macabre while also very interesting. It really was one of the best scenes of Series 4 and by far one of the best series finale (it was a two-part episode with this being part 1) of Modern Doctor Who.

20. The Master Dances in The Last of the Timelords

This was the scene that greeted Whovians to the final finale of Season 4. We see a post-apocalyptic world under the rule of a crazed maniac who calls himself the Master. Him and the Doctor are the last remaining Timelords and boy, do they strike a contrast. The Master does do a lot of dancing though. Here we also see the Master's companion growing tired and finally realising who the Master really is. It is a great start to an episode.

I will see you next Sunday with more of my top moments of Doctor Who! See you tomorrow!

Year 10 Formal

So last night, as you may well know if you read last night's scheduled post (I know, I was organised for once. Hooray!), was my Year 10 Formal. To put it simply, it was AWESOME! There was so much work that went into it and it all payed off in the end as everyone I spoke to had a great time. Even one of my friends who is always a bit on the Mr Negativity side of things and came to the night thinking it was a waste of time came up to me and said that he was wrong and this is fantastic. I guess fantastic really does describe it as the atmosphere itself was just fantastic. It was held at Waterfront Venus Docklands in Melbourne and it had the best view over the harbour and over past Etihad Stadium. It was wonderful and I would really like to thank the venue staff for making the night so memorable.

As you may have worked out from the picture the theme was James Bond. This was more in the way of decorations rather than actual dress theme which made it even better as everyone looked different. There was a lot of work also that went into the night which included Year 10 class captain meetings and surveys to ensure we could cater to as wide an audience as possible. In the end we had 167 (out of 200) Year 10 Students come plus around ten or so teachers. There was also a free photo booth (photos printed on the spot and put on Facebook for free), a roaming photographer (photos free and on Facebook) and a set photo point with a backdrop with prints costing $10 but it was all worth it. People really got into the night and came dressed to impress and some people were very hard to recognise because they looked so different in such a good way. I was lucky enough to arrive early to help set up so I could see the sunset over the harbour as I was placing seating arrangements. We were expecting people to come a bit later than 7pm but at around ten to there was already a large crowd waiting outside to come in but they were not allowed until 7pm. However, many of us had already been there since 6pm setting up so we were all ready and basically we were waiting on both sides of the door. It was such a great opportunity and something to be a part of. We danced (by dancing I mean jumped up and down with the beat and everybody else), socialised, ate, drunk, took plenty of pictures and had a damn good time. When it was time to leave I just did not want to go.

This formal was definitely something I will remember for years to come, see you tomorrow!

House Chorals 2013

Be prepared for another short post although this is happening so much you probably are more surprised to see a long one. Anyway, for today's topic I would like to reflect on my school's House Choral competition. Would that be alright by you? Well it's my blog so if you do not like it then you can leave. So basically the competition is each house sings a song (this year it was two) together. They also use a band to play the songs and some houses even have choreography to go with the song. It was actually a lot of fun and I can not wait until next year which is bound to be heaps better with more students. It really pulled many people in our house together and was a great experience.

You would not believe your eyes if I wrote a long post tonight, see you tomorrow.
