Appointment with the Doctor

Staking out the evening, there was nothing but a shimmering glee as the new series of Doctor Who finally reached the screens.

Rose lays out the rather droll life and situation of new companion Rose, taking the time to show her as a person with a life before the sudden introduction of the alien. Nicely reasons her joining the good Doctor on his travels through time and space in the TARDIS.

Christopher Eccleston blasts away the other Doctors as a real tough and crazy nut. Certainly buzzing with this eccentricity that would only be right for the time lord. As the episode crept through the mannequins it was clear how subversive the Doctor's recruitment was of Billie Piper's Rose. Sly and all the while with a mischievous grin.

The new series really just blasts out the doors and runs amok keeping the whole soul of the old tight to its breast. Supremely engaging and wonderfully entertaining.

Surrender then the Saturdays given this juice of fun science fiction and the slices of bread from Monk and Iron Chef. Events such as Wages of Spin at the Performance Space and evenings listening to beaten poets no longer a part of the deal. Far easier to hold down than a Thursday with Lost, The Amazing Race and Stargate Atlantis.
