Doctor Who

OK, so who watched the first episode of the new Dr Who on Saturday? I taped it and watched it last night when we’d got back from Northampton.

I think it’s excellent. Christopher Eccleston is definitely the Doctor - in a new key, I’ll grant you, but definitely the Doctor. I’m glad to see that Billie Piper has a more feisty part to play as Rose Tyler than some of the Doctor’s previous companions.

I love the new interior of the TARDIS and I like the self-referential and ironic humour - I don’t think you could do it in any other way now.

I was afraid that Dr Who would be ruined, but I think the BBC’s done OK.
