Doctor got exterminated!

This is another popular edition of The Weakest Link.

Initially, I didn't bother watching it after the beloved robotic dog, K9, who was one of the contestants, was voted off by the rest of the team - I think it was mainly because the show's producers told the rest of them to do it in case he broke down.

The contestants consist of good-looking David Tennant (the sexy tenth incarnation of the Doctor), John Barrowman (Captain Jack Harkness, and he gave Doctor Who theme tune), Noel Clarke (Mickey Smith), Camille Coduri (Jackie Tyler), Tracy-Ann Oberman (Head of Torchwood Institute: Yvonne Hartman, she also was EastEnders' Chrissie Watts), Andrew Hayden Smith (Cyberman Jake Simmonds), Nicholas "Nick" Briggs (voice of the Daleks and Cybermen) and beautiful Claire Rushbrook (scientist Ida Scott - just for two episodes). Although John Leeson is credited for voice role of K9.

This special edition had totally hilarious moments like when David whispered some answer to Andrew just before time up - face on David like he knows he got caught cheating, his innocent "No!". Before voting, Anne Robinson questions "Who hides behind the sofa when Mastermind comes on?".

It certainly shocked a lot of people when both Noel and Camille voted David (the Strongest Link) in Round 7 before the final (as both payback he voted for them, separately, previous rounds) - at least Anne Robinson made quote "Well if I was David, I know where I'd put the sonic screwdriver". Could expected David say the iconic: "I don't want to go"

Overall, this Weakest Link special is enjoyable, hilarious, despite some unhappy moments (when both K9 and David voted off).
