Well, that was brief but interesting. A nice OTT post-regeneration Doctor, much in the vein of Tom Baker or Patrick Troughton, and a little bit of a hint as to the way Rose is going to deal with the new Doctor.

David Tennant was pretty solid, if a little bit close to an impersonation of Eccleston's Doctor - perhaps deliberately?

Nice wee taste to tide us over until The Christmas Invasion...

I just wish they'd ease up on the music in the new DW, it seems to be permanently turned up to 11.

Mm - it is still a problem, isn't it? Can anyone who owns the DVDs (I'm waiting on the box set) comment on whether this is just a transmission issue, or whether it's just LOUD MUSIC?

I honestly don't have a problem with the music

The clips looks like it was just taken from the beginning of the first wep of the new series- so it's really more of preview (they may have said all that just beforehand, i had it on mute 'till the last possible moment

Theremins, that's what it needs...

It wasn't very good, was it?

The Amstor Computer · 19 November, 2005, 04:13:57 AM

Well, it wasn't Genesis of the Daleks, no, but it was an entertaining enough little bridge between the last series and the next.

'Well, it wasn't Genesis of the Daleks . . .'

And all the better for it.

Well it left me hungry for more... which is it all it could ask

I thought it was a great little taster, although would have prefered to have just seen it with the rest of the episode really.

I don't think it was ever intended to be the beginning of the Christmas episode - its a pretty nonessential little bonus written especially for Children In Need. I thought it was great, and a nice way of breaking up the wait til Christmas. Tennant is going to be f*cking magnificent.

...Uncle Umpty is very quiet, did he actually watch it?...

I thought the cloister bell was a nice touch.

Didn't like the idea of Tennant at first but after yesterday am quite impressed.
