Any thoughts on the new series?
Personally I'm enjoying this series much more than last. I think we're having less back-slapping and a lot more factual insight about the series behind the scenes.
It's less about how good the makers think the show is, and more about how it's made. I felt last time it was a little too self-indulgent.
I'm not an RTD-knocker per say. (And I really don't want to picture RTD's knockers now I think about it...)
I did get very tired though of hearing him telling us how wonderful each episode was, and what a success they all were - I can make my own mind up about that. They do seem to have reined that in this time.
I will say that 45 minutes has seemed a tad overlong though. What do you think?

All hail the "200"!
so none of the usual sycophants are in attendance this series dissing the old series whilst sucking up to the new?
Quite. No input from DWM this series.
I think that was there last series to offer an input that they perhaps thought would please the fans of the old series? It's not missed at as far as I'm concerned to be honest. I would have been happier if they had offered a bit more of an affectionate look back than they did.
Alas it wasn't to be....but he's still around, which is nice
to be honest I can't comment on this series as the last one put me off but if as you say it has returned to what it was during the first run, an informative behind the scenes doc then I might tune in.
K
will tune in on Saturday and take a look.
And hardly a slapped back in sight.
hurrah!
"oh we're great this episode was WONDERFUL" etc
the gap between what they thought they had achieved and what they had actually achieved was quite large
perhaps he likes a bit of 'snowie'
well one of their songs was Doctor, Doctor!
...which is an obvious reference to the end of Planet Of Fire, in which the Master is burning to death and appeals to the Doctor for help by crying out "Won't you even take pity on your own..." where people have speculated the last word would have been "brother", which ties in with the hints that the Master in the new series will be revealed to be the Doctor's brother, it all fits! They're giving us blatant clues to the series finale in the form of Phil Collinson's haircuts!
Next week I shall be closely analysing DW:C to find the secret Morse Code messages hidden in Julie Gardner's laughter.
the TT's had another song 'Don't Mess with Doctor Dream' as well
I've tried a bit, and all I could manage was

Over the course of the episode. Could stand for something ?
Aha! They're bringing back Sarah-Jane & K-9 again!
yep! The Zygons are making a return........
