I love Philip Pullman and his astonishing stories :P (At least for the most part. Though I wish his beliefs on God would take a back seat to his writing.)
That is the greatest series five quote ever and it is so true! The thing that's so great about series five of Dr Who is that yes there are terrible moments, yes there are sad moments, yes there are moments where things don't work out, but all that angst and pain always loses out to the good things in the end. It comes back to Vincent and The Doctor. "The bad stuff doesn't cancel out the good and make it unimportant."
I wish more dramas would remember this. Series nine of Spooks had me drowning in doom and gloom and five fan fics later, and a billion scene rewrites I still feel like my favourite character is doomed to a life of sadness because the scriptwriters have filled the episodes with so much angst and sadness and pain.
