1. Oo yeah I'd forgotten about that one... LOVED the ending;
what ones have you seen thus far? I'm know at least the plastic one (first one), and this, but was their one in the meantime? (Yes I'm looking forward to discussing a particular episode not mentioned here... but no spoilers!)

3. the second episode (aired last Friday)
was the one about the end of the world.

I'm also really getting into this show, but I've never seen the original.

5. O.K. Now I know where your up to.
This is where Dr. Who starts getting good.... from the second onward.... (ie. the second is O.K., the third good, all subsequent are very much to my liking...)

6. I'm Still Pissed That It Took A Year To Find A U.S. Outlet
I've loved the Doctor since I first discovered the show on PBS in the late 70's. The new show started with a slow expository episode (as almost all 'regeneration' stories do.) but the second episode was really good.

The third episode was even better. Eccleston makes a great Doctor and it's a shame that he only did a single season.

Such is life. All good Doctors must pass I guess. I'm looking forward to the rest of the shows and eventually seeing David Tenant's Doctor when and if they are ever shown.

9. I am not a fan of much TV, news, a few movies, but
who, house and Daily Show all make me smile. An occasional comment on the internets from KOlberman, especially if O'Rielly is the Worst Person in the WOrld, well, that is just icing on the cake.

How long has been this Who playing in the UK?

10. I agree
I've seen the first three episodes, so far I liked the second one, about the end of the world the best. Last night's was good, the plot didn't hit home with me nor the Chuck Dickens stuff, but the character development of the Doctor and Rose is excellent. And the background characters, at least the central ones for each episode, are also done very well.
