He was also in Harry Potter as Barty Crouch Sr., where Tennant played Barty Crouch Jr.
Only Fools and Horses is his finest role. One of the best sitcoms of all time- they're all on Youtube- check it out

Loved the twist about Rose being their pet

I really like the development of Mickey in this episode...

I do enjoy that aspect of this story, the parallel lives of Rose's parents.

Mickey mentions being a "spare part" as a nod to the Marc Platt Big Finish audio, "Spare Parts". They credit Spare Parts as inspiration for this ep. Spare Parts is about the origin of the Cybermen, but the story is nothing like these eps.

Don Warrington - whenever I see him I'm reminded of Red Dwarf.

One of the all-time best Red Dwarf scenes, with Don Warrington:

I got confused between Don Warrington and Denzil Washington- I went round saying Denzil Washington was going to be on Doctor Who, until someone pointed out my mistake

I think he's another big DW fan too (Don, not Denzel ). Even before the TV series returned, he played Rassilon in several BF DW audios.

Rose's jelousy is really annoying and needy

I agree. Why is she threatened by the fact that the Doctor knows the name of another woman?

The scene with Mickey / Ricky is well done, quite believable.

I do like the look of the new series Cybermen, even if I haven't particularly liked any of the new series stories involving the Cybermen.

Those versions had good helmets, but the bodies didn't seem very robotic to me, they just looked like silver spray-painted cloth.

With the new Cybermen, it really looks like they're mostly robotic, except their organic brains.
