Thank you BBC, for completely dashing my hopes and dreams that the next season might actually be good, with a good actress that is actually funny. Anyone else not going to watch the next series now?

    I'll still watch it as long as David Tennant plays The Doctor and Steven Moffat writes at least one episode per season.

    It might be somewhat tolerable if most of the writers hadn't quit, and I didn't want to punch Tate in the face so goddamn much for being a cancer on British television.

    oh god, in Australia the 2006 christmas special aired last week. It was awful mostly due to her. At least I have about a year before she ruins everything.

    Wait till you see "Blink". All will be forgiven then.

    Tennant is an excellent Doctor, but I still haven't been too fussed about watching it this year. Tate does a couple of funnny sketches, but the rest are repetitions on themes that weren't very funny to begin with. I can't see her addition to Doctor Who as a good thing.

    The only good thing about Tate's character from that episode is there is alot of room to expand and she isn't like the latest modern companions, so we'll probably get a fresh new spin on the Doctors character too. She will probably end up annoying me by the end of every episode and you know the BBC will get her character to say "Am I bothered?" atleast once during the season.

    The Christmas Special this year troubles me more so. Titanic... breaking... TARDIS?! Lawl, get those writers back BBC <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mad-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":angry:" border="0" alt="mad-fix.gif" />

    The Doctor's words best expressed my feelings on that scene.

    If that article has any truth then the show really has been ruined.

    To be honest I lost a little faith in Doctor Who after the latest episode, with his Deus Ex Machina plotline going "Everyone on Earth says my name repeatedly, and I get magical powers that would appear more at home in Hogwarts."



    But Catherine Tate? Ohh dear...

    I thought the idea behind that was to give him the strength to re-activate his Timelord regeneration cycle? Which well it did in the end, but yeah not in quite Harry Potter but more of a Star Trek shield type way.

    I don't like her comedy, but I know she can act. I don't have a problem with this.
