The new doctor

[Mendoza]

Ecclestone was brilliant. Top actor, he is.

 

 

Yep, so good i forgive him for being a Manc.

[Dicko]

I think we're in the minority

 

See I find that strange because I preferred Tennant and I always seem to think I'm in the minority.

[Alan Sex]

Doctor Who is rubbish. Gilliam would get it big time.

 

Not 'alf!

Not exactly conclusive but...

Check me out, sitting neatly under Christopher Ecclestone in the poll.

See I wasn't convinced. All a bit Harry Potter. Maybe if you don't want to do things to the ginger lass then it loses it's attraction.

This weekend's episode was belting. Loved it.

I have tried to rep you twice today, but alas I need to spread it around.

 

Very, very impressed with Matt Smith, and for what it's worth I thought that Ecclestone was fantastic and that Tennant was a cock who put me off watching the show.

Wholeheartedly agree.

I'm not sure Tennant was the problem, you know, I think it was more Russell T Davies writing him as some tortured, angsty, tedious character forever lamenting the lonelines of being the Doctor. And essentially made Billie Piper and her epic teeth the star of the show.

And also adding a whole load of unneccesary campness. That whole thing that he was trying to get going between The Doctor and Captain Jack was just rubbish.

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

I didn't think I'd ever like the bow tie, but it really suits him. I think he is going to be a very good Doctor.

[Hand Shandy]

I'd still bang the back doors of Amy Pond.

[Iantn]

The escaped fish line was quality.

[DJ Bladdered]

This weeks plot had more holes in it than my socks but still a sound episode. Matt Smith is pretty great as The Doctor isn't he, and lets get Amy into some horn inducing clobber, a la Ep 1.

[Best Believe It]

Smith's got more of an air of unpredictability, and I liked his rage at Amy when she hadn't told him everything. Bit unsure about the Dalek episode coming up, as I think all the recent Dalek episodes have been shit (apart from watching them fight the Cybermen). Hopefully there can be some genuine fear involved.

Although that said, I really really liked the Eccleston Dalek episode. I thought that was really strong.

I thought the idea behind that last episode of Doctor who was a bit of a rip off of Terry Pratchett's Discworld.

 

ie the "starwhale" was very similar to the great a'tuin from discworld;

 

[dirty_sanchez]

Of course it was, but it was an allegory to man's mistreatment of our planet first and foremost.

[Iantn]

Boss episode that.

[setreal]

Insanely good. All they need to do is drop that blockbuster-orchestra type BS.

They shouldnt try to be so much like Hollywood with that.

[Lurtz]

Best episode I've seen in years. Superb stuff. And I quite liked the orchestral bit, thought it added a lot to the atmosphere.

[R Kid]

Think the new doctor is very good, although I think the new assistant is the real show stealer.

 

Karen Gillian, sexy and ginger!

[Thants]

Straight out of Indy, literally. Watching the confidential, the director played the music on set (or "playback") to get the actors into the mood.

Great episode and am impressed with the series but expected it too. Only one or two fillers (vampires in Venice and the 2nd part of Weeping angles which I thought was shit).

[Total Longo]

Matt Smith has got the character spot on, in my opinion. And yes, the ginge is fit.
