    Just finished “The Next Doctor” only to realise that there’s 4 more episodes afterwards. I kept waiting for him to need to regenerate but no lol. That next Doctor is brilliant though.

      Which episode is that one? They all blur into one for me now xD

      Get your tissues ready. Tennants last episode hit hard the first time I watched. I think it got me the last time I watched too

        Yes but in comes the hurricane called Matt Smith

        But, the new episodes with Tennant made me miss him even more

          It took me a little bit to warm up to Smith. But what a guy. Tennant was my doctor, but it’s neck and neck between him and Smith

            I feel like I’m the only one in the world, but my favourite is a tie between Eccleston and Capaldi! There isn’t a new who doctor I don’t like though. I would love to watch the old stuff, eventually.

              Took me a long time to prefer Tennant to Eccleston, tbh, basically only when series 4 came along; Iwouldn’t be surprised if other people do prefer Eccleston. I think if Eccleston was Doctor for longer he’d easily be the best.

              And then you see what the MCU did with him and weep.

              I know a couple, but I think the energy and charisma of Tennent sold me. I think the production value and stories picked up, which helped too. Who knows what may have been if things went differently with Eccleston. He was treated quite poorly, which is a shame.

              I was so looking forward to Capaldi, but I think the quality of the show dipped for me and some of the writing and story lines were meh. I admit that coming off the back of Smith and my expectations is probably why I didn’t take to him as much. Then Whittaker happened, and that killed all enthusiasm I had for the show. But, I’ve been slowly going back and rewatching them with my gf and some friends. With some time I’m hoping Capaldi will grow on me.

              I definitely recommend watching some of the older stuff, although I think it’s quite dated xD. I used to watch the older episodes, maybe 15 years or so ago. Saw a little bit of Pertwee, watched all of Tom Baker and loved him (he pretty much set the tone for future Doctor"s being quirky oddballs), saw some Sylvester McCoy who I liked as well. Maybe little bits of Peter Davidson?

              Its kinda cool to see how some of it connects to the reboot. Whether through characters, enemies or references.
