it be september 2003 that i hear the bbc be go to resurrect doctor who and make it big and good but i would hear these rumour in the press before and think that all they be rumour . but it be then mention that russell t davy be go to executively produce and write the show and then one saturday afternoon in march 2004 channel 4 news interview the actor cast in the title role christopher eccleston . yes that christopher eccleston an actor i have always be impress by since watch his film debut in let him have it and if he be get interview on television it must have be true . a the month pass more and more information be leak and billie piper be be cast and the daleks would be return and the mill and the hollywood effect company who have do the fx for gladiator be contract to do the special effect for the show . for several week before the first broadcast trailer galore herald the return of the new series and massive billboard in london inform the public about the return of the show and tabloid newspaper carry massive photo spread of the alien appear and christopher eccleston appear on programme as diverse a blue peter and mastermind ( which have a special doctor who night edition ) and this morning and friday night with johnathan ross . in fact this new series of doctor who must have be the most hyped programme in the history of british television and it have well be bloody good so be it bloody good . undoubtedly it have be a major success with nearly every episode make the top ten show in the tv chart . to give you clue of it rating success only one episode ( the ark in space episode two febuary 1975 ) from the old series have make it into the top five tv chart . the opening series episode make number three with two more episode either beating or equal the previous record and this be in an era where there far more competition in term of tv station and choice . let laugh and cheer at the fact doctor who stuff hit me baby one more time and celebrity wrestling and maul ant and dec saturday night takeaway . of course much of the success be down to the breath taking visuals and the casting of a well know prestigious actor in the role . for the most part everything you see on screen here equal anything you will see in a spielberg or hollywood movie . there a dalek invasion force number ten of thousand and exotic alien and a 19th century cardiff that look like a 19th century cardiff and night filming that be actually night film and not do by stick a dark filter over the screen . i promise you will be hear a lot more from the director who work on this series and joe ahearne especially will one day be in the hollywood a list there be some flaw to the new series of doctor who and all of them should be lay at the door of russell t davy . it may be contentious whether the soap opera and post modernist element be successful or not ( in my opinion theyre not ) but what not in dispute be that the weak script be all write by rtd . a i mention in my review of casanova he cheat the audience and he do the same thing here represent when face by armed soldier point their gun at him the doctor bellow attack plan delta which make no sense to anyone in the audience but allow him to escape from a tight spot and a naked captain jack suddenly pull out a laser he be hide and rtd script be full of these type of cheat and deus ex machina type ending . in fact the final episode be spoil greatly by the ridiculous concept of what the bad wolf be which seem to have get rtd out of a tight spot more than the doctor . and of the ending i be try to remember if any of them be actually down to the doctor . more often than it a support character or the doctor companion who save the day . the show be call doctor who not rise tyler so can we see the title character save the day please just like he do in the classic series . one final point about the portrayal of the doctor be the way he write a a grinning loon . eccleston be best know for his serious and gloomy role and he absolutely breath take at scene when he show grief and like the tear run down his face in the end of the world but more often than not he write a a tom baker on speed character . it obvious why eccleston hasn not do much comedy in his career he not very good at it be i start to sound like i hate this show . sorry i do not mean to but it just that while some anticipation have be meet or surpass some others haven not and theyre nearly all down to russell t davy who thankfully be contribute less in the way of script in the next series of doctor who . let see more traditional story of a human outpost be under threat from monster like we saw in the 1960s and 70 and imagine a story like the sea devil with a massive budget direct by joe ahearne . oh and one last request can we see these next time trailer scrap . they reveal all the best bit of next week episode .
