Me. The first episode was very entertaining and funny too.

I'm not so sure. It's 'modern' so it fits better with culture today than the old style would have done. I'm less keen on Tennant than Ecclestone (he was so much better than I expected).


What really disappoints is that it's mostly 1 story per episode, it was always better when the stories built up and you had a bit of mystery that wasn't going to be solved in 30+minutes (yes I know the episodes are longer now, but even still...).

I have just one thing to say.  Lips.

Choc Admin my husband has just been discussing that exact point! He likes a series of stories that build up rather than single-story episodes. Personally, apart from the Tardis and some old names from the past being thrown around, Dr Who now is unrecognisable to me.

I know what you mean, the old series was much better.

I can't be held responsible for how the Beeb choose to portray me.  if anyone wants to join me in the Tardis for a spin, they'd be more than welcome.  I agree with BH - Billy Piper does have BJ lips.

And a nice "rear bumper" as she said at the start of the series.

I used to like the nicely-spoken sensible girls in cardies that William Harnell used to recruit.

Leela, so my son tells me. That's when they started to get sexy.

She went on to be Rosa di Marco in Eastenders.

Did she? Wasn't she the mother of the gorgeous (and deranged) Joe? I never realised that - just shows how incredibly unobservant I am!

many of the mothers in eastEnders look improbably young to have sons of the age they claim to be and oh so many of those sons are deranged!
