i agree this Doctor Who is a lot better than expected and the humour, especially with a Northern Twang is original and he cant keep those references to Manchester out of it can he? LOL. however, i have wee critism the humour is great but i think it can fall into the trap of taking the piss out of itself too much, which then raises the question whats the point of filming a new series if you are going to take the piss? i look forward to the next episode.

but i wouldnt go as far as saying their was raw emotion? i cant take the end of the world seriously when you have just watched a flat-faced zoey wanamaker playing Britney Spears, "toxic" ?

anyway cant wait for Daleks epside.

Plus i am glad Christopher Eccleston is leaving, he is a quality actor and deserves to be in far better roles than Doctor Who.
