He's back and it's about time
Mar. 26th, 2005 08:48 pmYes, I know it's corny but I've been waiting for the new Doctor Who series for so long.
I've been a Doctor Who fan for over 20 years - Peter Davidson was my Doctor but I love different things about all of them. (Even Colin Baker, who I had the hardest time warming to.)
And now we have an excellent start to the new series. Christopher Ecceleston was convincing from the word go.
"Why do you sound like you come from the North?"
"Lots of planets have a North."
Rose was a good modern companion as well, not the helpless screaming girly but someone who still has a lot to learn about the Doctor's world. I think Billie Piper did an excellent job of conveying an ordinary girl, attractive but not a glamour model and with more to offer than being stuck in a dead end job.
It's been a while since I've had a TV programme to get this excited about, since Angel was cancelled, and I'm looking forward to it a lot.
