I liked it. When I think of Dr. Who I first think Tom Baker. Over the years I lost track of the show but in the past decade I checked it out a couple of times and it seemed way too serious.
I've got nothing against serious TV but to me the Dr. was always a bit cheesy and fun.
Jodie Whittaker is great and she hit just the right note. (but the Mork from Ork look is hard to see past.)
I hope this doesn't become a lesson we all learned this week thing. But I will keep up with this one.
I've not watched Dr Who since the Jon Pertwee days, and that was only because my boyfriend at the time watched it. The last time I was into it was in the old b&w days of Patrick Troughton, when I was about 8 - because I had a crush on Frazer Hines.
