Oh and Pogle Jr was scared of the shower too!

So is HAB by the sounds of it.

Hmm, I found it a bit odd and was feeling short changed about half way through - then the ending made up for all of it.
I think I prefer the Doctor when he has a companion with him.
Rather good, but much as I adore DT am looking forward to seeing what the new chap will be like.

Oh and Pogle Jr was scared of the shower too! I had to stand in the bathroom to make sure she was OK

Doctor who spiked pregnant lover's drinks jailed. He even looks a bit like Tennent.

7pm BBC1. Looks a bit naff tbh. Monsters dripping with water in Centerparcs or something. Let's hope Im wrong. I do like a good episode of Dr Who.

Off to polish me Tardis.

Gave my son a nightmare. Hes supposed to be banned from Dr Who. But I wanted to see if he was up to it. Hes not.

I thought that the depth of the script, and the quality of Tennant's acting, easily surpassed the critical faculties of many of this board.

Type casting.

What happened to the last Dr Who? I can't even remember his name.

I quite enjoyed it - not looking forward to the new Doctor though - I like David Tennant.

I saw it, but rated it closer to OK than outstanding. Great for kids I expect though. Tenant was on the Graham Norton show last week and seems to be an intelligent guy, although I can't really see the logic in giving up a role like Dr Who.

Utter crap

Never watched an episode but I suspect I might have the same opinion if I did.

Here's an exercise for you. Without moving, see if you can express the range of emotions he did standing there watching the colonists working to save themselves and knowing he had to walk away and leave them. It is frolicking hard to do it as naturally as he managed.

He doesn't do anything naturally. It's like he's following the Acting for Dummies book. You can imagine the director shouting "David look concerened" - Tenant pulls a concerned face. "Look happy" - pulls stupid grin face. "Look contrite" - he doesn't know what that means so he goes for trademark stupid grin plus wild staring eyes.

Being able to pull 10 different faces in a minute does not a believable performance make.

Tennant is a great Doctor. Whimsical and eccentric, yet serious and with a deep sadness. Anyone can do one side, but few can do both.

In the space of 5 mins we saw regret, sadness, horror, anguish, madness, realisation, guilt, fear (the way he scuttled into the Tardis and quickly shut the door behind him...)

Good one..

You guys have never seen Tennant on stage....

Hartnell was OK in a Victorian mad scientist kind of a way, Troughton evolved the character to bring out the mild insanity of the Doctor. Those two, like Tennant, were classical actors: most of the rest played it not very seriously. Tom Baker was the ultimate, until Tennant came along. I can't really choose between them

...why oh why oh why have they hired somebody who couldn't even carry off a children's nativity play in the lead role? He's unbeleivable terrible, and ever since his first episode I haven't been able to watch simply because of bloody David Tenant.

One good thing about him is that he isn't Christopher Northern-Lefty-And-Don't-We-Know-It Ecclestone.

My favourite was the one who played cricket. William Hartnell was supposed to have been good though.
