I've just watched the new show now and here is what I think (broken down succinctly) The new Doc is a northerner, brilliant! :D I haven't seen Dr Who (as a whole episode) since I was quite young, (only say part of an ep as a temp flatmate last year is in to Dr Who) so I don't have much to go on as far as memory goes, but still, I was raised on Dr Who and I think the new show is great. IIt is much better than the TV movie however many years back. Though does anyone recognise the living dummies (spellling must be pretty bad eh?), I remember the waxworks which replace important people (was that when sylvester mckoy played the Doctor?) Even with a somewhat recycled plot, this show sets the scene for what is going to be (IMHO) a great series, score one for British SCI-FI!
