Didn't see enough of the doctor to tell if Tenant will be any good so the jury is out on that one.
Hopefully the writing in the new series will be a bit less infantile and more imaginative like some of the best eps from the last series.”
Oh come on - it was much better than that! For a light Christmas tale, I thought it was very good - certainly head and shoulders above some of the "infantile" stories from the first series.
As for DT - I will be very surprised if he doesn't turn out to be excellent. From what we have seen of him already, he has the makings of one of the best Doctors yet!
