Please add me to the Dr Who ping list.
I started off with Tom Baker in ‘77. Nobody after him really interested me, until Ecclesten. Tenant was spectacular and I have warmed to Matt Smith. I think that’s in large part because of Amy and Rory. And, oh, that River Song!
I started off with Ecclesten, then went on to Tennant. Both were fantastic with their own style. I like Billie Piper best as the sidekick.
I’ve watched the first couple of episodes with Matt Smith. So far, so good. The characters seem to be geared toward a younger audience. Perhaps the appeal to youth is to garner a wider audience of followers.
Eventually, I’ll go back to Tom Baker but I think the grainy video of the older broadcasts may be off putting.
