There is a positive correlation between my hatred for Catherine Tate and the more I see her in shows. Nice lady, 'n' all, just really crap.

And from the two episodes seen so far, it's not as good as t'others.

Quick question: what do you (anyone who feels like answering) think the relevance of chucking the Sonic Pen into the bin in the first one was? The Doctor Who Crew usually put little things like that in episodes that turn into some future episode. I reckon Donna's mum's gonna get it, seeing as how Donna said to "look in a bin", and Rose isn't there to tell her what bin. Just a thought. Or it could just be throwing it away. Who knows.

Still not convinced by Catherine Tate as assistant. But then again Billie Piper was a lot better than i thought she'd be.

I'm a massive Doctor Who fan, been watching it since the repeats of John Pertwee as the Doctor, that's a good 21 years now. I'm also so geeky, I even modeled the TARDIS in 3d.

I am quite impressed by Catherine Tate, actually, I wasn't really looking forward to it, as I'm not a fan of The Catherine Tate Show, but it was better than I thought it would be.

I only watch it for David Tennant!

Omg me and you think alike. I thought the exact same thing when he threw it in the bin.

I watched the new series up until Rose left. I wasn't into the show enough to continue watching through another companion. BUT I really like Catherine Tate, so I might start watching it again. And I've been hearing things about Rose coming back, so...

Great series - I was passingly familiar with it before the revival, and I've really got into it since then. I like that Doctor Who's not afraid to push boundaries that more 'mainstream' sci-fi wouldn't dare go near. Sure it's sometimes pretty whimsical or far-fetched, but they get some damn fine stories out of it. A couple of people have mentioned the episode 'Blink', with the Weeping Angel assassins. The whole concept behind those beings is just so 'out there' and detached from our conception of reality, it was just a great idea in a great story.

Then, of course, there's the character stuff - which really drives the series across its numerous unrelated stories. It seems almost inevitable that Rose is going to reappear at some point, which should be interesting to say the least. But it'd also be nice to see more companions, too - in the old days, the Doctor sometimes had several companions of either gender, which makes for more of a mix than the recent 'one female companion' deal.

We're still waiting for the Catherine Tate episodes in my country, but hopefully it won't be long now.
