Corrected for you Frutos.
Very disappointed by that first episode, there seems to be a kind of smug self confidence that they can knock anything out because hey, It's Doctor Who and you will lap it up. Genuinely underwhelmed by it frankly, Matt Smith must be at home with a nice bottle of red, feet up munching on his Pringles laughing his socks off for getting out at the right time.

Bit floppy in places but much better than the rubbish served up last series. Still don't like Missy at all though and will be relieved I think when Clara leaves also.
Only just got back from Wolves - just about to iPlayer it . . . .
Sadly I had a long blink for most of it so have no idea what's going on.

Tonights episode was the equivalent of when you realise that a favourite Uncle is starting to lose their marbles.... yes ! Lets have the Doctor arriving on a tank playing an electric guitar !

Yes, the episode could have done without that entire scene. And also Missy. Davros was done really well though (as usual), glad they brought him back again.

Haven't watched it since I was a nipper, but seen the adverts and the "sort" in it looks decent.

Yes, agree with bringing back Davros, always a nasty villain, but, I think the series is in danger of losing it's heart....plus Capaldi is starting to look very old and tired.

It seems to me that the hard core Dr Who fans will lap this up.
Sadly though they are losing the masses now. Explain to me how you could sit down with a child and watch their first Dr Who episode tonight?
Just too complicated, too much based on past events, too dark.
Lots of the reasons why Dr Who died last time are now being repeated.
When Russell T brought back Dr Who he realised that it had to appeal to the masses or it wouldn't be sustained, it wouldn't carry on. That's what made it popular.
Moffett is like Corbyn, he has given up on the masses and is trying to please the core.
Bring back Russell T.

Dr who ended with the departure of David Tennant & Russell T Davies writing it, anything else since has been garbage, think sadly that DR WHO has got to the Sylvester McCoy stage again

It's the Christmas episode I find most difficult to follow but that's probably due to huge amounts of mulled wine making its way through my body. Never can follow it and always disappointing,

Pertwee was the scary Al Pacino of hammy Dr Who, Baker the Thespian and it all went Pete Tong after Tegan left Davison.
Stopped watching it after the third Peter Capaldi episode - awful Doctor. Won't be watching again until he's gone.
