i watch all of the doctor who episodes that my local pb station play while grow up . ( get introduce to the doctor by way of john pertwee ) as well a camera copy of doctor who send to america by uk fan to their u counterpart . i have a great time w or the show and but it never seem to take itself seriously i mean as seriously a a sci fi show about a time traveler could be . i go to the con and do the costume bit ( doctor # 5 and 6 and tegan be my costume character ) and love it . then it all come to a sudden halt . program politics and lack of interest and funding turn doctor who into a 25year old antique that drift into the ethos . when i hear that the sci fi channel have pick up the new doctor and my first thought be and cool and now my 11 year old son can see what i have be babble on about all these year and and know what the heck a tardis be ( i have several phone box and tardises of various size around the house ) i do not expect the excellent quality of story and character development and f or x. i be to say the least pleased . for the first time and i find a doctor that wasn not a curmudgeon and a clown and a fop and a trip head and a pussy and or a jerk . christopher eccleston be by far the most believable doctor to date . now and now and calm down tom baker fan . do not get me wrong and i love almost every doctor and his quirk and but christopher give something to the doctor that he would never have before real word believability . i be just sad that he decide against another season . i will try out david tennant a i would any other doctor and but now the bar have rise . bad wolf rule . 2008 update i love david tennant . his mod persona be something that my generation remembers and my son generation can deal with and and fashion gestapo can relax . he a little more human than christopher and but not as humas a other former doctor . i miss rise and i dig martha and and what be they think with donna noble . it still the best ride on tv .
