Ok so I'm a born again Doctor Who fan...

…and its not my fault. I blame Russell T Davis. It’s like I said in the post about Serenity - sci-fi must be based in reality for me to make it accessible and enjoyable. The re-invention of Dr Who thanks to Russell T Davis, Christopher Eccleston and Billie Piper changed Dr Who from being a tired old format with no relevance into something new and exciting with a lively modern day heart. I love the world they have created, and the flippant way they treat the death of a species or travelling through time. Its the morality or Star Trek but with the English touch ie. political correctness viciously removed. Its also great to see home grown sci-fi with recognisable places being destroyed by alien species. As the new series begins it can only be hoped the standards of the first series are maintained, and that humour and heart are as central to the plot as all the previous episodes.
