A Saturday evening just isn't a proper Saturday evening without Doctor Who (lets face it Robin Hood was a big pile of go-se), and it is the only thing worth watching at the time of night.
I remember the earlier Doctors when the show was on about 5 o'clock.
I still get excited by the theme tune, the latest version is my favourite. When this new series began I couldn't wait to hear that shriek, the bass etc.
Excellent stuff.
I also recognized Christina Cole from Hex and made the witch connection. Seen her in some other stuff and she is a good actress so hopefully this will lead to other roles.
The ending to The Shakespeare Code was fantastic (especially as he said he hadn't done anything to her yet). Will we see it in a later episode or will it always be one of those mysteries that never get explained.
Select to view spoiler:
That's two Queens of England that he's got after him, and Elizabeth was a good few centuries before Victoria.
Loving every minute so far. And I do like Martha, she's no Rose, and I really hope they don't go down a romantic route, but she's great.

The news that Dr Who has started in the UK means that we should only be a month or two away from seeing it here in Australia. As they did last year, they've held off the Christmas eppie until the week before they screen the new series (they also haven't screened Torchwood yet, probably because they've got no idea what timeslot to put it in, or which audience to target with it).
Having seen The Runaway Bride, I'm kinda disappointed that Catherine Tate's character turned down the offer to travel with the Doctor, mainly because she'd be good for puncturing his ego every now and again.
Anyway, looking forward to the upcoming seasons of Doctor Who and Torchwood (especially resolving the end of season 1).

Actually, I liked the fact that at the end of "The Runaway Bride", that she said no. Given all the people who have joined The Doctor in his journeys across space and time, it's unlikely that The Doctor would never meet someone who actually doesn't want to journey with him in the TARDIS. That they like their life on Earth and that one journey is often enough. Also makes The Doctor less pompous. That not everyone will be impressed with him and his way of life.
Another small thing I noticed. When Elizabeth the First was angry at The Doctor, and the Doctor said "What?" over and over again, it was like at the very end of the season 2 finale. After he almost says good bye to Rose across the boundaries of universes and the most heart wrenching moment in the series, it's interrupted by some woman in a wedding dress popping up out of the blue with both of them at a loss as to how she got there.
To go from sad to funny is nothing new. To go from heartbreakingly awful to surreally busting a gut is just priceless.

Hey, I'm in Canada. We only just finished showing season 2 and have no idea when Season 3 will start showing on CBC, despite it being a co-production with us.
But it's BitTorrents that has helped me catch up with the series. I suggest you get BitTorrents on your computer. Poor man's TiVo. Never have to miss a show again.

In regards to Lesather about his or her complaints about the pilot, I'm willing to give this a pass.
If this was a show that prided itself in it's scientific accuracy (like FIREFLY, BATTLESTAR GALACTICA, THE X-FILES and to a degree STAR TREK), then something like the MRI would be a problem.
But DOCTOR WHO is more fantasy than sci-fi. It has never once aimed for scientific accuracy. It's a show about a two hearted being as old as the universe who can regenerate 12 times in the ultimate traveling vehicle that on the outside looks like a police box, and whose weapons are a vast intellect and a sonic screwdriver. If you're willing to buy that, then I think anything else the show gives you should be able to go down easy.

Actually, when it started in 1963 (!) it was intended as an educational show to teach kids about history and science. Well known factoid.
That's pretty much gone by the wayside, but I don't think its any worse than Star Trek et. al.
