Doctor Who returns to TV

At last Doctor Who is returning to BBC with a new series . Christopher Eccleston becomes the ninth doctor and Billie Piper is his assistant. The Sunday times had an article on it last weekend which said the new series looks good. The paper confirms the early Daleks did have sink plungers as one of their deadly weapons ! There was a danger they would not appear in this new series but they will be making their presence felt... I see in the Guardian today the first show is now on the internet. I am sure the BBC will be annoyed but I think it will just encourage interest in the show which is being shown in the prime time slot it used to have on Saturday nights in its heyday.

Not having a TV at home until I was quite old, I missed the early shows of Doctor Who and really only saw the Tom Baker ones. However I have enjoyed watching the re-runs with Jon Pertwee my favourite. His best assistant for me has to be Sarah Jane Smith played by Liz Sladen.

The later years of Doctor who were a dissapointing bunch of disjointed programmes but perhaps we were all growing too old for them.

I will do a write up after the first show materialises Tardis fashion.
