New Dr Who

Aye, a good start.

I loved the line to the young Amy, "You're Scotish, fry something."

Me too - loved that line!!

Not convinced. I thought Matt Smith was impersonating David Tennant.

Me too a bit - but I reckon I only think that because I LOVED DT

Nope, my husband has wit, intelligence and class, I suggest you troll elsewhere.

[cojak]

I must admit, much as I loved DT, I'm pleased that the angst-ridden, hand-wringing, looking-mortality-in-the face phase has passed...

Though we have to understand that the new Doctor hasn't wholly transformed so will still be a bit "Tennentian". We'll probably see a different side in the next episode.

Hopefully the days of the companion falling in love with the doctor are over too.

Good point!

Not looking likely though, she looked wholly infatuated.

Anyone think the new guy looks a bit like Frankenstein's monster? Or could at least play the part with minimal facial make-up?

And she did look good in a police uniform

T...we have to understand that the new Doctor hasn't wholly transformed so will still be a bit "Tennentian". We'll probably see a different side in the next episode.

Precisely my understanding. If he's still like Tennant in episode 3, then we'll just have to shoot moffet.

I thought it was a huge disappointment TBH.

Looks like its pandering to the 16 to 23 year old target audience.

Rubbish, he pandered very nicely to the 40+ male audience. Did you see her legs?

A jacket with elbow patches and a bow-tie?

If he was playing Tennant then he did a pretty decent job, but also clearly had his own take on it. Look forward to seeing it develop, though I hope this series' in-the-background-weird-coincidences-and-subtle-references storyline isn't totally over the top, the 'silence is falling thingie'.
