Thanks! That just made me feel even older.

And this will make you feel even older again Matt Smith, born October 28, 1982

As a 42 year old male with a child like / immature mind I enjoyed it.


However, for the first time the Doctor is played by someone younger than me which is a little worrying.

This and the Upstairs Downstairs mini series was the only thing that I have watched on TV this Christmas apart from the news.

I like the new Doc. He is just the right type of madman to make it all so magically realistic. However, for the first time the Doctor is played by someone younger than me which is a little worrying.

One of the best. Under Davies, the series started to degenerate into soap opera. With Moffat, it's become a fairy tale - story driven, never mind the plot holes. ( Doctor Who is supposed to have plot holes).

Thoroughly enjoyed it. Very nicely done.

Though I did think the beginning was a bit too "Star Trek".

Same here, Mr Smith is bad enough, but Ms Gillan is very "children's tv presenter" .

Exactly.

It lost me halfway through the David Tennant tenure. It all got too overblown and the stories got more and more silly. Plus revisiting the same monsters all the time just to sell more toys. Epic fail.

I gave upon it halfway through the last series, I'm afraid. Piss-poor acting was the main reason.

I quite enjoyed it. For me the modern Dr Who became unwatchable when they hired that scottish "actor", so I haven't seen any for a couple of years, but this wasn't bad at all.

On the basis that Christmas episodes are always the worst episodes of any TV series, I might well give some future episodes a chance.

I liked the fish.

I thought it was pretty good, not enough Amy Pond though.

Tennant was a tough act to follow, I never thought I'd end up actually preferring Matt Smith.

I thought it was rubbish. My son's an avid Doctor Who fan and he got bored halfway through and started playing his PSP.

Did anyone catch the Doctor Who Xmas special.

Pretty good I thought. Looked like it was going to be pants, but once up and running was a pretty good episode. Well acted and with a nice twist as well as the usual humour.

In fact, I reckon that was the best Xmas special to date. Moffat never fails to impress.

Sorry MF, we at SY01 towers felt it was pants.
