He's back and it's about time

Yes, 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.

I've never had a Doctor of my own, so this one's got me all excited :-D

I can't claim to be the biggest Doctor Who fan in the world, but I always enjoy and I only wish I could afford to buy all the DVD's/videos so I can get into it properly!

Followed you link on Stargate Review and found your bit on Dr Who. I'm loving it too, and keep saying so! It's fun, doesn't take itself too seriously (if at all), and the chemistry between The Dr and Rose is terrific. Really makes the programme go with a swing.
