Controversial as this is going to sound, please don't hate me for it.
Do you think Doctor Who is actually that good? I can't seem to get into it. I think it's just a nostalgia trip for those that saw the original and that many, not all young people are only seeing it, as their parents are encouraging them to do so.
If you sit down and forget everything you know about Doctor Who for the next episode, do you think it is good? And if you do what makes it good?

I finally got to watch Dr Who, think it was the 2nd week, whereby the Dr. meets William Shakespear, got to say it was good, but nothing about Wales in it!!
even though I told my mother I wanted to see the first one, then after it, I said well, I don't remember any of that being in the first one, she said no, it was the 2nd one!
whereas if I watch something I prefere to watch things in order, so still don't really know what the first episode was like!!
I really wanted to see the first one first, as it is supposed to have the introduction to the new assistant! makes me want to scream sometimes!!

in reply to your question david, I did see the original, as it was more or less sit around the tv on a saturday night thing in the early 80's!!
and considering I wasn't fussed on it back then, the new series seems more appealling to me, maybe it was Billie Piper!
no, I think it is because they seem to have made it more entertaining, like getting younger cast, better storylines, and special effects, ok so there was only so much they could do on the special effects in the 70's and 80's,
but the storylines do seem a lot better. in the 70's/80's it was will the Dr. be exterminated this week by the Dalek's!!

What? Some of those plotlines were classic. Like the one where he spends the entire episode in a car chase. Well I say car chase, but at various points a taxi, a bike and a biplane are involved. The episode ends with him jumping from his boat onto the baddies hovercraft and watching in shock as the villian uses his teleport power to escape! Not a single flaw innit :P
This weeks episode featuers Cthulu.

Is anyone watching Doctor Who this year? Peter Capaldi is very different to the previous doctors, but it will be interesting to see where this series goes!
