Reviews Series / Doctor Who

One of the Best Sci-Fi series ever.

Since the revival series started back in 2005 I have been hooked. I think that everything fits in perfectly.

The two actors that have played the Doctor have been brilliant, although I sometimes got the impression that Christopher Eccleston did not want to be there. And before you say anything I know he asked to play the role. I do think he has given a good performance throughout his single season. The thing that I cannot understand about his decision to leave is that if you act in something as iconic as Doctor Who there will always be those that see you as that character.

David Tennant has shown that is a brilliant actor and also that he is enthusiastic. When I heard he was leaving I felt a bit disappointed but it needed to happen eventually. For me he has been the better of the two and should be praised for the way has taken to the role.

As for the companions I do not feel disappointed. I think that all of them have been great. My favourite companion has to be Martha Jones, played by Freema Agyman, her development was probably the best of them all. I thought that Donna Noble, played by Cathrine Tate, was great but a bit to in your face. Rose Tyle, played by Billie Piper, was good but a seemed a little bit of a brat. Captain Jack I think is a good equal to the Doctor and is portrayed brilliantly by John Barrowman.

The writing is for the most part 'fantastic'. There have been a few episodes/stories that have not been quiet so good such as Love and Monsters, Fear Her and The Unicorn and the Wasp. On the other hand there have been episodes that are just hands down brilliant, examples include, Blink, Dalek and The Impossible Planet/The Satan Pit.

The music is great. They definitely went down a different route from the old series that was famous for its mostly electronic music. This series uses an orchestra instead.

Overall a great series with only a few tiny flaws.

Oh and good luck Matt Smith.
