As we in the UK all know the new series started last weekend with Chris Eccleston as the new Doc. I thought it was a good opener which introduced us to the new Doc and his sidekick, the big toothed Billie Piper.
We know that there are going to be 13 episodes for this series and that the Beeb have commissioned another series, some people are dubbing it series 2 but that cant be right surely?
However once this series has finished we will again be seeing another actor take over as Mr Eccleston doesnt want to be typecast as "Doctor Who" for the rest of his career.
It will be interesting to see if the current series can hold onto the viewers it got during episode 1 or whether it will fall away.
Anyone who saw it got any comments and who would you like to see as the new Doc? David Ternant who is currently `doing` Casanova for the BBC is tipped to follow in Ecclestons shoes but who knows anything for sure
