Thank goodness the series has ended.
OH looking forward to New Year special, I will survive

There was a brief trailer for a New Year's 'special' onTuesday 1st January 2019 at 7pm.

"As the New Year begins, a terrifying evil is stirring, from across the centuries of Earth’s history. As the Doctor, Ryan, Graham and Yaz return home, will they be able to overcome the threat to planet Earth?"

Not bothered if we forget to watch or record it.

Well thats Dr Who over with till 2020 as far as weekly episodes .

Only the New Year's show left to go now and nothing next year (maybe a Christmas/New Year Special?)

Jury still out - still not sure I like her - knew after the first 2 episodes I didn't like Peter C as Dr Who - but loved him as an actor - he was too weird in the role like a few of the others, esp Chris Eccleston. I disliked him and always have in everything he has done.

I didn't see last week's episode until yesterday. Seemed to owe a lot to Alien and also had ideas from Red Dwarf and Hyperdrive.

Neither of us are particularly impressed.
I don’t think she shows enough authority; OH says she has no ‘zing’.

We’ll probably still watch - it’s difficult to break a habit of a lifetime.

Thought the spiders were funny - no reason for the trump idiot to shoot the big one even if it was humane in the end.

Haven't seen this weeks yet.

I suppose this week's programme was mainly a thinly veiled dig at Donald Trump plus a swipe at that waste diposal firm.

Enjoyed the Rosa episode. Still sitting on the fence about liking her as a Dr.

Would have preferred Alex Kingston. No sure if she has enough presence on screen.

I am still reserving Judgement on the Dr .

Watched 5 episodes with previous one - loved him as an actor - not as the Dr but i quite liked most of the stories.

so far i liked episode 1 and found 2 could have been 10 mins long maybe 15 to include the boat ride.

New script writer needs to up his game - not a patch on the previous one -
River Song - Clara - the one with child in the gas mask - The weeping angels - SS madam Pompadour - and thousands more

There were always some good characters and also some very pathetic episodes.

Early days yet

Happy to admit.....I love it :-D

OH and I watched Dr Who until the demise of David Tennant (mind you that could have been due to me ;-) )

We gave it a go again this series and we are both hooked!

Must admit to a personal secret 'thing' about Bradley Walsh .....But I don't think the OH feels the same :-D

Chris

Agree only 2nd episode - but the Story was rubbish and the acting not much better.

1st episode was so much better.

I dont like the new script writer so far -

Happy with the Theme tune but preferred the instrumental one about 20 years ago.

Will still watch for a few more shows - my favorite is Bradley Walsh - main reason i gave it a go as got fed up with previous Dr not having any gumption or get up an go.

For me, the most unbelievable bit was when they were able to outrun a crashing spaceship. Still I do like the characters but miss the intricacies of the Moff's plots.

I quite enjoyed it.

I wasn't that keen on the new arrangement of the theme tune, sorry Tabitha :-D
I felt it lacked it's usual ooooomph :-D :-D :-D

Why did all the actors have northern accents? :-S
Still feel the characters need bedding-in, but at least they have the Tardis back.
We'll probably continue to watch in the hope the story-lines continue to improve. So far, admittedly this was only the 2nd episode, they've been a bit lame.

Don't watch Dr Who, lord of the rings & Harry Potter, all a load of brainless rubbish.

.

We don't watch it, I think they hope to have captured a larger audience by strategic placing in the programme listing. I actually like Jodie Whittaker, she is a good actress but it is just not for us, especially not for my OH.

Any thoughts on the 2nd episode

My comments - I liked the look of the new TARDIS and the Theme music (more of the theme tune this week)

I have not watched Dr Who since I was a child doing the usual hiding behind the settee. But I was curious about this new female Dr Who. I thought she was brilliant. I will watch the next programme and see if I am hooked.It was a great first episode.

I used to watch it years ago, but would lose interest in it as it went on, so I stopped watching it. I did like David Tennant in the role though.

We watched it last night out of curiosity because of all the hype about Jodie Whittaker.
I have to say, I though SHE was brilliant! :-D
The storyline was a bit lame but perhaps it'll build

Thought the story line was a bit lame. Willing to give Jodie Whittaker a chance, but really hate her chosen outfit. Its a cross between a Bovver Boy's and a Clown.
