I stopped watching it for many years but started again when my boy was old enough to enjoy it.
He grew up with David Tennant as the Doctor. It renewed my interest and Russel Davies' writing was just perfect for the time and a new generation of viewers.
(Matt Smith was pretty good too, I thought.)
I've struggled with Mr. Capaldi though, after a pretty dire first appearance. I have recorded all the latest series to date but can't find the impetus to get started watching them.
Anyone want to suggest why I should?
I agree on all points, Matt Smith and David Tennant where great Doctor's, and it's hard to cope with the spin that Capaldi is lending... A couple of his episodes are great, but I'm not sure treating him like he'd David Bowie is really the great move for his appearance of the Doctor.
I also find myself wishing that they'd have shown more of the War Doctor, that incarnation fascinates me...
BTW, this is how you derail a thread in style.
