If you don't know: Dr Who is a British science fiction program aimed for family viewing. It's been around for almost 50 years!

I'd better start by saying that my two favourite 'Doctors' were the foppish Jon Pertwee and the irrepressible, chain smoking Tom baker.
That pompous twat Christopher Eccleston fucked up the latest of the 'wide screen' reincarnations of The Doctor and then he handed over the sonic screw driver to the self absorbed, attention seeking, over rated, even bigger twat, David Tennent.
The stars of the 'new' show are the sexy assistant, the dialogue and of course the new Doctor...
And my verdict (after one episode) is that he will probably be one of the best Doctors ever.
After watching the new show I can't figure out if the doors to the TARDIS open inwards or outwards... they did both in the episode I watched! Still not sure where the bowtie appeared from at the end, either. And I wish they would start playing the original theme music instead of the artsy fartsy versions that have dogged the program over the last ten years.
Hey, producers... the music was the BEST BIT you fucking morons.
But those quibbles aside the story was routine... The Doctor has twenty earth minutes to save the planet, lots of running about and high tension, etc. Nothing new there... except that I'm glad it wasn't set in London any more. It seemed like the whole Dr Who universe was centered around the fucking houses of parliament for the last ten years...
I love Catherine Tate but she was a bloody awful Doctor's assistant. My favourite was 'Leela' although I had huge crushes on Sara Jane, Jo Grant... AND Rose Tyler! But after that they just went stupid with an American student, a robot, a black woman, Bonnie FUCKING Langford and even some fat punk rocker! WTF!
The new assistant is genuinely sexy and damn fine to look at... How they managed to track down a thin actress in the UK is beyond me, but well done, them!
Anyway - back to the premise of this thread...
Tonight's episode was the first time I had enjoyed an episode of Dr Who in over 20 years. The attention to detail, the olde English village (actually filmed in Wales!) and the fantastic new (with old bits!) TARDIS... and that sizzling script!
Loads of jokes, a sexy assistant, a convincing Doctor and the usual ludicrous 'Douglas Adams' style story made for a compelling hour of telly.
I hope they maintain this standard for the next few weeks. I'll be downloading a copy each week to make sure!
It's been a long time coming, like The Saints winning The Superbowl, but it looks like the wait was worth it!
Dr Who is back!

..... OK, it was a few years ago, when most TTC things worked like this 
(on an hourly, not a weakly interval).
..... It's been around for longer than Dr Who 
I always thought the best acting was a toss up between K9 and the Daleks. Both of whom returned in an episode I caught when BBC entertainment was being screened in Thailand on UBC. Unfortunately as UBC are too tight to pay for BBC anymore - its history now so not much chance of catching it.
