47 Hours to go.

I'm wondering if the next season will see the return of the rest (or at least a good few more) of the Time Lords, I'm sure they can figure out a way to explain it. You'd have thought Steven Moffat will want to do something pretty major to mark his arrival (in addition to a new Doctor) and maybe that will be it.

Good to see The Master is coming back, not really a surprise though.

The master coming back hasn't been a very well kept secret. Throw in Rose, Donna, Sarah Jane, Martha, pretty much everybody who's made an appearance in the RTD reign, it's got the potential to be a big fucking RTD mess. There is a glowing redeeming factor of hope. Bernard Cribbins is the main companion as the wonderful Wilfred Mott. Donna has (surprisingly) been the best NuWho companion so far, and her granddad helped that.

Slight spoilerness, but Timothy Dalton has a roll as a kind of narrator for the episode, a timelord narrator.

I'm guessing that the doctor is going to take his new godly time lord power mad state of mine and go back and save the timelords. Nicely mirroring the crazy dalek from last years specials. Makes sense.

That episode has left me excited, which is ace. The first half really was pretty poor though.

Having been following the rumour mill, so haven't got a clue what is happening next.

Going to miss David Tennant though. I thought he was a terrible choice to begin with, I'd seen him in Blackpool and Casanova and wasn't impressed, but he really grows on you. Looking forward to him in Rex Is Not Your Lawyer.

I was never a Doctor Who fan as a kid, its primarily Tennant that has made me one now.

Tennant get's a lot of criticism, but for me he's played the whole "last of the time lords" thing pretty well. Eccleston set him up nicely with his slightly angry bitter portrayal.

I think it's right that he leaves around now though. The whole "ooh.. this is bad" thing, before going into "I'm the doctor I can solve this" mode has become a bit predictable. That was one of the things which made tonight's episode brilliant. He went into his own Doctor running about solving things madness rules, but he was breaking his own imposed limits at the same time.

Great stuff.

Apperently Matt Smith is playing it all a bit second doctor. He could do a hell of a lot worse.

Just watched it...roll on Christmas, I'm definately up for this now. Tennant I feel is likely to be 'my' Doctor, so I'm interested to see how I react to Smith once his series begins.

[Leggett]

enjoyed that!

did anyone else get the feeling that the 'ego trip' doctor is a clever ploy to make the general public less.... atatched to Tennant as the Doctor?

[Batch]

Felt it was a bit standard RTD Dr Who in the main, but a good ending. The Doctors descent into an egoist seemed a little rushed though. You'd think something more personal to him would need to happen for him to break the rules.

Blink is one of the best DW episodes full stop.

I tend to find the Dr Who specials a bit hit and miss, but last's nights was pretty good.

It wasn't as scary as the preview reports seem to suggest and definitely not as tense as Blink (my favourite episode of the recent reincarnation) but Tennant was great especially the scenes as he was walking away from the base, while they were dying - a master class in acting with just the eyes.

Roll on the Christmas ones

That episode scared the crap out of me and still sends a shiver down my spine when I think of it. Easily my most favourite and the only one I'd watch again and again. In fact, all of Steven Moffat's episodes have been excellent which has to be a really good sign for next year.
