Billie Piper is now leaving the show also, so they will be replacing her, one in the line is Keeley Hawes(sp?) from Spooks/Tipping the Velvet, I think she would be wonderful in the role, good actress.
^ I heard about this today! It was on the front cover of a newspaper. I read some inside but not all. I saw the picture of the new Doctor...name name...
I forgot the name but doesn't look much of a doctor, the other older ones had beards & looked wise which make better Doctors, but Eccelston was good.

new doctor is david tennant, and he should be way better then ecclestone. best doctor was tom baker, colin baker was good too, just didn't get enough time in the role
It is pretty naff. Doctor Who was always naff, but somehow I liked it.
So far, I haven't really enjoyed much of the new series. I didn't like the Episode with the single pathetic Dalek, and I didn't like that crappy Auton one with the stupid wheelie bin that came alive. It wasn't down to the shoddiness of the villains either, it was because of that idiot boyfriend, and I really don't like Billy Piper, at all.
I did, however, really enjoy the one set in World War II, Richard Wilson was a guest star and it was about some sort of monster disease, and they turned into gas-mask wearring Zombies. Rather creepy, and the cheesy format of the show made it even more creepy and wierd, and I loved it.
I get the feeling it should be on Childrens BBC, rather than Prime Time, but Doctor Who has always been a naff pile of crap so I can forgive it.
So it's been a bit hit and miss. I couldn't believe that idiot from Coronation Street was in one Episode. His overly crap acting and fake accent really bugged the hell outta me.
Oh and Simon Pegg's villain was excellent. I enjoyed that. I'd love to see more comedy actors making cameos, because they seem to suit the over the top nature of the show better than legit hammy actors.
Nothing to do with being typecast! That has been denied, it was never a reason.
The second half of the season has been an improvement. The Simon Pegg episode was, indeed, only worth watching for Simon Pegg, but Father's Day and the new World War II one has been very good indeed.
And Dr. Who always was a kid's show on at a non-kid's slot designed to appeal to everyoine, not just sci-fi fans, so that all fits. It's getting censor-based complaints as well, so another triumph.
This has been the BBC's big success of the year and its future is assured. Good job.

Tonights episode was great, along with every other episode in this series. Ive never been a doctor who fan and didnt think i would watch this new one but i gave it a go as there was nothing else on (which seems to happen a lot lately) and now i am hooked
