In other news, the next Doctor Who television special Waters of Mars has screened in London and has been generally well received which is a relief. My whole Doctor Who experience was watered down a bit over the past 18 months or so what with the constant speculation as to who would replace David Tennant; his announcement of his impending retirement and last but certainly not least, the abominable Easter special. But I do think things are progressing in a really good direction.
Things to be excited about:
- I'm happy with the choice of Matt Smith as the 11th Doctor…
- …and I like Karen Gillan as the next companion
- I now “get” the new logo and I liked seeing it in action
- I am so glad Russell T. Davies is going
- I’m glad Waters of Mars has been well received…
- … and I feel I have reason to hope that the Christmas and New Year’s specials will be handled well
- Finally, I am super happy that John Simm will be back as the Master
I have to acknowledge that without Russell T. Davies, there would be no new Doctor Who, Torchwood or Sarah Jane Adventures. At the end of the day though, everything that I didn’t like in the past four years was down to him and I’m looking forward Steven Moffat’s more intelligent stories.
