I agree re RTD. Not with Tennant, I’d have loved him to stay.
Me?. I was never a Who fan growing up. I respected its place in British TV, and watched some of it. But never became a fan until 2005.
Here’s the twist: I have ALWAYS been a huge fan of the two Dr Who films from the 60’s with the wonderful Peter Cushing.
But River Song steals the show. I kinda love how she breaks out of the joint AT WILL! And hey, for British freepers, as she would put it "Spoilers!"
I began watching Dr Who when Pertwee was the Doctor. My favorite of all the Doctors was Tom Baker ... until David Tenant took over. Matt Smith is doing an astonishingly good job! But I must confess that River (Alex) looks a lot like my first wife ... and I still have a crush on her. At 67 this summer, I truly look forward to the episodes. Wish I could afford to purchase the entire series, with all the doctors. I dropped Comcast cable to get Direct TV, mostly for BBC America and Dr Who!
