Yeah, I hope it gets picked up here if for no other reason than the chick that they have playing Rose is yummy.

Dash, being from that side of the Pond, mayhaps you can tell us who she is?

Easy Nemisis... slow 'er down there with the links

I saw the stuff on the site... just wanted Dash's take on her abilities/tallent.

Here in the US, if a pop singer looks that good, you can generally take her having tallent of any sort (except for making horny teenage boys buy records on her looks) completely out of the picture. Since Dash is from over there, I was hoping that he had seen some of her other work and could tell us if she is worth a flip from firsthand experience.

I'm afraid I don't normally watch much TV except for News.  I do watch Enterprise occasionally, other than that, I must admit, the only show that has caught my interest in the past few years was My Hero.

If you have a local PBS station call them to get the new series. I just might call mine and find out if they will run it.

The only thing that I wanted to see in this new Doctor Who is the theme song upgraded to the newest version.. the one by the band called Orbital off their Altogether album. Sadly, they went with another hack and made a so so theme track for the show.

However, the premise of the new series is very exciting.. I'm an old Tom Baker and Peter Davis fan.

 They are going to show it on BBC America, see if you have it on your cable.

  Because of this I don't know if they will let PBS get a crack at it.

Well, it is going to take them a few episodes to get it together.. the first episode seemed sort of rushed... the guy playing the Doctor must have taken lessons from Tom Baker.. their mannerisms are quite similar, though the new doctor's dress is much better.. and keeping with traditional Dr Who episodes, it was low budget... Anyhow, it is nice to have it back, though the first episode I think that they could have made a better storyline with what they were doing.. It was just a rush episode to get the girl with the Doctor, hopefully the remainder of the series is done much better otherwise I think it is going to bomb... This first one I give a 6 out of 10 and I'm being a slight bit generous.. it is mainly given to the manerism to the Doctor because the way he acted reminded me ALOT of the Tom Baker Doctor.. Anyhow.. hope that this helps.

Helps??!!  No this doesn't help!!!  Nothing will help until I see it!!!

I haven't kept up with the prodcution of this new series, but I loved the old one.  (Especially Pertwee through Davison).  I just got the chance to rewatch all the Pertwee episodes in order on PBS.   :thumbsup:  Classic!

One question, if you don't mind.  Is this guy supposed to be the Ninth Doctor,  or the eigth (pretending McGee from the recent American movie didn't happen), or is this a new reboot with a new "first" Doctor?

Well, the first episode is not clear on that aspect, however all indications according to the Dr. Who BBC site points to him being the 9th doctor.. plus one scene in the episode backs that up when he looks into a mirror.

and McGee from the ABC Movie is Official as the 8th Doctor according to the BBC Doctor Who site.

Also Official is the 1 episode pilot spinoff "K9 and Company" where the K9 Unit is not the K9 The doctor used (K9 Mark II), but actually a more improved version (K9 Mark III). They had an entire series written, but BBC did not continue the series.. it had over 8 million viewers in ratings on the first showing and 2 million on the repete 2 weeks later... though the Theme song and imagery needed a LOT of work.

Well i watched the episode on BBC1 on saturday i have to say pestalence's analysis was more or less spot on i thought the episode wasnt too bad but i think there needs to be improvement in the next episodes which i am sure there will be. Clearly was a rush job to get Rose and the Dr together.

Any other brits managed to see the episode on saturday night, if so what were their thoughts about it?

Alien and I like alot of the shows on BBC more than the stuff on our networks.  Great to see BBC1 is remaking an old fave of ours.  Hope it makes it on BBCAmerica.

D/L the episode and enjoyed it as comparable to the Dr. episodes I watched on PBS during the mid-1980's.
