I tuned in for the new re-imagining of Doctor Who in 2005, now I have watched some of the older classic episodes and could only get into the colour episodes, and later serials but not the old Black & White ones which die-hard fans will always say are the greatest. However for my generation, it is hard and difficult to get into the cult classic episodes. This reworking of the show kick-started my interest with the Doctor, the Time Lords and the amazing adventures he goes on with his companions in a modern setting.
From the start, Christopher Eccleston caught my interests as a quite human and likable character. From him we had a moody booming Doctor who has fresh scars from the wars he has fought in, including the notorious Time War between him and his arch enemy the Daleks. From him we went to David Tennant, who gave us three series of his performance as a Doctor again who suffers from what hes seen. But as we've got further into the show, we've met even more arch enemies including a modern Master played by John Simm amazingly.
Finally we met the current Doctor, Matt Smith in the role again kept my interests as a strong, ecstatic and sociable character again dealing with the Doctor's main enemies and many attempts to destroy time, history and the universe. With the story writing, we have amazing plots involving Daleks, Cybermen, the return of the Sontarons and many more characters from the classic serial. Matt Smith seems to be getting stronger in his second series, with the amazing beautiful Karen Gillan as his latest companion Amy Pond.
The writing gets only better, production values are immense and even for some die-hard fans of the original series this re-imagining is a golden solid continuation of a classic franchise. I hope the show can only get better with new enemies, story lines and more companions. We are six series in already, with Christmas and New Year Specials and I want more. It can only get worse or even better now.
