Doctor Who

OMG OMG OMG!!! It was fantastic! And the Autons!! Christopher Ecclestone was awesome; as mercurial as Patrick Troughton, as energetic as Jon Pertwee and deliciously alien. Billie Piper was surprisingly good. As long as she doesn't break into song, I'll be happy. They've made her character intelligent; by far the most intelligent companion so far. Great cinematography too.

I'm really looking forward to the next episode now. Must go and rewatch the first Auton episodes now!!!

ETA. Great sfx, nice to see more location work, the Autons were fab, loved the champagne cork bit. It was all just fab! The Doctor is now sexy too, which is a little odd, but can't complain ;)

Doctor Who Who? :)

Cult British sci-fi, created by the BBC. He's a Time Lord from the planet Gallifrey. Travels through time and space in the TARDIS (Time and relative dimensions in space) which is stuck in the form of a British police call-box--it used to have a chameleon circuit, but that broke. Before it was cancelled he fought lots of baddies, who mostly wore awful rubber suits, but it was totally immersive! When we were kids, we would hide behind the sofa during the episodes when the scariest monsters were on.

If you want to read about it/him: http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/ The site is focusing on the new series mostly, but I think all the old stuff is still there under Classic Series on the LHS.
