Because the Guardian has a t’riffic article about the end of his Doctor Who era, so why not?
Ah, Tim Burton does Charles Dodgson – what could be finer?
I like this idea – it allows them to revisit the iconic characters and scenes as Alice struggles to remember her previous visits, and it allows for some kickarse new developments as well. I love the CGI work on Helena Bonham Carter’s Red Queen.
Quick Hit: Go on, admit that you secretly find Tony Abbott sexy.
