So - who out there amongst our UK bretheren?

.... can tell us what the return of The Doctor was like? I heard on our news that it rated really well - any confirmation and reviews would be most welcomed from our Euripodean cousins [img]smile.gif[/img] .

Doctor...who? [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Boy that was a bad joke...even by my high standards

...I'm at UK! Oh, wait...you don't mean me, do you?

LOL Sigmar! That joke is so bad it's actually funny.

I never watched it, but I heard it got 10 million viewers (I think), which beat "Ant and Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway", which is usually the highest rating show that time (again, I think).

Alas, no tv reception in my current university room

My girlfriend watched it and didn't like it - said that Billy can't act and Chris Ecclestone is wrong as the Doctor (well, no surprises there IMO).

Having said that, she's not exactly a Doctor Who fan. It seemed to get a positive reception from the public on the BBC website.

Yep, it was a massive hit. So many people watched it. I thought it was good, however I missed the first half.

Now if only you had misspelt that Brethern, I would have had myself a good gag!

I wonder if the BBC paid more than $25 per episode on special effects this time? [img]tongue.gif[/img]

As I'm sure Davros knows, they are repeating every one of the old episodes on Australian tv and so I get to watch them now and again. I can't wait to see the new episodes

I managed to watch it, and have to say that I have seen better acting in primary school nativity plays.

Acting aside, it was quite enjoyable and I'll probably watch a few more episodes.

Not bad at all [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]

Any of the usual baddies in the return episodes (Daleks, Cybermen, Master etc)?
