Dr Who (David Tennant)

[Sundae]

Sorry if this has already been covered (I did search), please redirect me Monsieur de Undertoad...

Do you have our new Dr Who in the States, or anywhere else yet? I've just watched a wonderfully whimsical episode featuring Peter Kay (may be unknown outside these isles) set to ELO. Can't think of a better example of the way this Dr Who is engaging new audiences.

I'm slightly biased I admit - I was always a fan of Dr Who and when it was resurrected with Christopher Ecclestone, Mark Gattiss - one of my heroes from The League of Gentlemen - wrote an episode, so I was hooked.

The quality of writing, the sets, the costumes and the special effects have all impressed me. And Billie Piper as the Dr's assistant adds an everyday presence to the sci-fi aspect. But most of all, David Tennant - the first man under 14 stone (14x 14lbs - in his case more like 10x 14lbs) I've ever fancied....! Whoosh. Glad I'm not 16 again. I bought a Dr Who action figure and promptly sent it to my best friend who has moved to Kenya and is therefore missing the series. I didn't want to start interacting with him...

So, any Dr Who fans out there?
