okay and i grow up on who and but haven not love a doctor since tom baker . christopher eccleston make me love who again and i will be furious with him forever for leave . the writing be grand and the act superb and the directing ( which be dreadful in the old day ) be just fantastic . i be very skeptical about this programme and and watch it merely out of be force and but be now a huge fan and love it ( i have a ringtone of a dalek scream exterminate then ) . a few of the thing i love about the new programme 1 ) people actually notice when rise ( billie piper ) disappear off the planet . some of the old show an assistant would drop off for a while and and then come home like nothing have happen and no one notice . 2 ) chris eccleston doc love rise romantic or not will be debate and but there be no doubt that 9 love and care about his companion . he would destroy the world if he have to to save her and which the old show be lack often a doctor wouldn not care if he never saw his assistant again . 3 ) they talk and think like real people when rise be show something outlandish or new ( such a alien ) she act like a real person would gobsmacked . i never like it when an assistant from the old show and who never saw anything alien and would just fit right in and adapt instantly . i want to see the surprise on rise face when she see a plastic dummy come to life . she give that to me . the few thing i do not like about this series represent 1 ) nearly everything happen on earth ( london or cardiff ) and i be sort of hop for a more off world sort of show . 2 ) that eccleston leave so quickly and he really make the show brilliant . but i can let those few thing go i far more enjoy the series than i ever expect to and so i do not mind if they have stuff set on earth . just do not take this show seriously it fun and it smart and it entertain and but it not a super serious heavy duty show . it pure fun and and pure british and and i can not get enough . watch it with an open mind and and just put your brain into neutral and enjoy . ps do not watch series 2 or later . series 1 be brilliant and the first few episode of series 2 be good and but do not watch it once it get to love and monster . utter rubbish and completely destroy the show .
