Well, The War Games was edited with a knife and fork, and we can work out where the producer stands on the whole 'The War Chief = The Master, Y/N?' question, but...I quite liked it! The re-colouring wasn't as garish as it was for The Daleks, and I liked the Troughton regeneration, and the cheeky re-assessment of Two's next form made me laugh. Obviously not as good as the original, but...fun.

I know Uncle Terrence said that he added a lof of padding to this story, but if it's cut that short there'll hardly be time to meet anyone, let alone the Time Lords.

Wow! The Destroyer! I did not anticipate this character returning! Love it!! Although the Time window was Whitaker levels of bollocks. Why not just make it magic mercury?

Can't wait!

I seem to recall part of the problem was that Keith Boak, the first block director, had set up a stunt that went wrong and nearly dropped a burning sofa on an extra. Eccles was angry that no-one really cared, and Boak wasn't reprimanded fully. Plus...the general chaos that no-one in British tv really knew how to make a show like this, and they were learning (and failing) as they went.

Wow, I'm so glad to enjoy seeing new Doctor Who again!! And this new lad seems to be fun, not a mopey nothing that can get ignored in a room with no one else in it. Sorry Jodie, maybe you have charisma in the hands of a better showrunner, but you often seemed to not get any attention in your own dingy console room. But Ncuti - he's a hoot!! And I'm loving him getting his kilted groove on. More please!!!

God, I'd forgotten how much I loved enjoying Doctor Who! I even found Tennant not as annoying as he was pre-2010. Let's just forget ChibWho ever happened, we can all just wake up with the shower running a la Dallas and move on to a better future.

Moffat wanted McGann, the BBC vetoed bringing back a distantly remembered past Doctor in the big anniversay special, they wanted a star name. It would have been nice to see more of McGann, but Hurt is a constant joy.

I'm delighted that Bonnie's back, and I can't imagine that Rusty will allow her to once again be dressed like a candy striper on acid. She's a really good actor that was never given anything to work with on Doctor Who except 'SCREAM!!!', and once Saward had left, letting her natural charm to show through. Plus, she's actually quite a good casting choice for a series that desperately needs some name check appeal. Snobby old school fans might wrinkle their noses at the return of Violet Elizabeth Bott, but your average UK viewer is more likely to remember her six year term as an Eastender matriarch.
