Page 1 of Dr. Who

Just got around to watching the Dr. Who episodes featuring Chris Eccleston as well as the Dr. Who Confidential episodes and found myself very impressed. The production value of both series is better than most cinematical products or making of documentaries I have seen.

So is it just me or was this last series of Dr. Whos better written and acted than those in the past?

I only have a glancing knowledge of the Doctor and have managed to miss all the past episodes on PBS. In the US (from where I am writing) I find our tv lacking in both imagination and rather stupid. There are only a handful of shows which I can follow week to week.

I am not saying the last series of Dr Who was perfect, but it was better than most shows for adults we get here. I look forward to seeing David Tennant as the new Doctor. I also hope we get to see the planet Barcelona.

I totally agree - the production values and effects for this series were superb. The last episode with the Dalek ships and flying Dalek armies - wow!

I don`t think this series was particularly better acted than in the past, but it was definitely better written than the last few "regular" seasons. The all-round consistancy was very impressive - there wasn`t a poor episode. You could tell there was great love and care taken with each episode, and there were many moving and quite deep moments.

It`s definitely the best thing on tv at the moment - and streets ahead of empty, pretentious stuff like "Lost".

:D

I too only have a passing knowledge of the Doctor, but now the whole family is looking forward to the new guy!
