The New Doctor Who
« on: March 05, 2006, 10:10:07 AM »
Anyone read up on the New Doctor Who starting on March 17th on the Sci Fi Channel?  ARead abit on the site, seems alright, but ihave to see the show to judge if it will live up to the Who name.  I know they had a 9th season on the BBC.  Anyone from the UK have any opinions?  I just want to see if it will be worth watching.

I'm not from the UK, but I uh...managed...to see most of the first season of the new Who, and it's very good.  Some rough spots, but on the whole very good.

I loved Dr Who as a k!d.  The theme music used to terrify me, and a lot of the show did too, but I was back every week for more of it.  I hope it does well.

I have a friend in canada who has seen the first season, and she liked it.  She's already ordering the dvds.

New series looks good, for two things: David Tennant (my gf has been making feeelthy "phwoar!"-ing noises) and the return of the Cybermen (woot!).

It's just payback for you lot delaying DVD releases on our side of the pond. "Serenity", for example, only came out this week!

I ordered the first series of Serenity just the other day from amazon.com.  They were having a special.  Think it cost around $22 or so.

But that's not happening till the second season, to be broadcast in the UK this year. (OK, to be precise, Tennant debuted in the Christmas special.) What the US will be seeing, starting this month, is the first season, shown in the UK last year.

To reassure the original poster, in the UK the reactions of the hard-core fans, the general viewing public and the critics have all been overwhelmingly positive. And FWIW, I too thought that it was very good indeed.

I watched it from time to time, then there seemed to be a big Dr. Who swell, so our PBS station in NJ showed all the episodes from the very beginning sometime in the late 80's, so I've seen most of them.  Campy, but not bad at all.

I doubt most people from then will find anything new to be that good, though, almost no matter what.  It's like people picking their favorite James Bond.

Seen the first few episodes.  I like it.  They kept with the themse of the Doctor and the opening music.  Thats what sold me on it.  Only thing i miss is that the old Doctor Who series was split up into parts and made ya want to see the next episode.  The hour series is great, but i wonder what it would be like if they went back to the old ways of the episodes.

yes .. but the old way was in a more serial format, and took about 2 1/2 hours to complete an episode ...

Because part of the deal when ABC (A as in Austrailia) CBC got together with the BBC to revive Doctor Who CBC got exclusive North American TV rights in the first run of the series. So I got to see the new Dr. Who 3 weeks after the BBC premier.

Overall I think the new Doctor Who is good although there are some aspects that I don't like.
The whole "Last Time lord" bit annoys me and also some of the episodes made me think 'Grrr they might as well rename the show "Rose"' and I was never really convinced by Christopher Ecclestone's portrayal of the Doctor either.
The 45 minute eps feel a litle rushed for my liking.
Why are they calling it season 1 when it's season 27?

I could nit pick all day but in the end it's back it's popular and that's good. It was a hell of a long wait since 1989.
