So, last night saw the first episode of the new series.. and we were all sitting there at 6:20, ready to watch! My general thought was that it was set a little too ‘young’.. it reminded of a Sarah Jane episode. However, as an opener, it was great fun.. and they have the rest of the series to develop the darker episodes.
Mr David Tennant was as sexy as ever.. it’s strange to think that I was upset when Christopher Eccleston left, and now I just adore his successor.
Catherine Tate.. she still annoys me, but she wasn’t as bad as I thought she would be. I hope she keeps the comedy stuff reined in a little.. although the suitcases were funny.
Best bit for me.. when The Doctor and Donna were trying to communicate through the glass, and Miss Foster spotted them. Plus, of course, every moment with the Adipose.. does anyone else think they’ll be in the shops soon?!
I’ve had to come back to this, because I forgot to mention the ending.. Rose! I hated the idea of her coming back, when I first heard it.. but I’m beginning to think that if it’s well done (by that, I mean a very good explanation for her getting back, plus it not being permanent) I think it might be good. I believe she’s not going to feature properly until the finale.. I wonder how many brief glimpses we will get before then?
Bring on the next 12 weeks!
I suspect, now there is a Dr Who family of programs, that Torchwood will keep the gritty adult audience - like me - (Poor old Tosh) and Dr Who will be pitched at younger viewers. The Doctor has never been bloody or overtly violent, but I can see with the progression of the series, the ideas for truly believable villains are fading somewhat. As a scientist and a biologist, I find the idea of the adipose a bit absurd, but its great fun. Today’s outlay and effects leave the first episode standing, though it was unique when it was first broadcast. Probably the first program to have a re-run by popular demand (I watched it at the time). I can’t wait for the next episode!
I did enjoy this epsiode and even warmed more to Donna/Catherine Tate. Loved the cute fat monsters as well!
Be interesting to see how they bring back Rose and meet up again with Martha. Maybe we will see all three in one episode and one may bite the dust???
Great to have it back though!
I throughly enjoyed last nights episode! I thought it was brilliant. I also thought the bit where they are talking through the glass was just so funny!
I do like Catherine Tate so i’m pleased she is in it. It’s nice to have a decent programme on on a Saturday evening instead of all these reality tv shows that seem to be everywhere! : )
