I adore this Doctor. A proper, old-school Doctor, lovelovelove him, love the actor too, he seems to have a great sense of humour, and his looks are really growing on me too.

But lawks a lawdy, the stores have been a real disappointment. I liked a lot of last week's eppy, the tea-lady Daleks were delightful, Steve Jobs Daleks faintly ridiculous and thestory, like all of them up to now, seemed... unfinished, somehow. All the stories so far seem very curtailed to me, like they needed to be 2/3 parters and weren't. I hated the whale ep, horrible, but not in a good way, in an incredibly stupid way. I see you enjoyed this week's - I'm afraid it left me a bit 'meh'. It's a 2 parter so I'm reserving judgement but it had none of the tension I was hoping for and River Song was, incredibly, even more annoying than last time.

I'm watching just for The Doctor at the moment, but tbh, there's nothing new in that, a lot of classic Who had awful story clunkers too, it's The Doctor himself who's always held my attention and this Doctor is doing the job nicely. :o) I do hope the stories pick up a bit though, up to now, they've been really disappointing.
