Doctor Who: The Eleventh Hour Review


O....M.....G and... HAPPY EASTER!!

After six hours of waiting, I finally got my hands on the Series 5 premiere of Doctor Who and was I impressed!! Matt was amazing! Truthfully, I had my reservations on him being The Doctor. Following up David Tennant is a hard feat, but Matt did very well!

One of my favorite bits was the food spitting and tossing! I can never look at fish sticks and custard the same way!

"Can I have an Apple?" "Do I have a face no one listens to?" and "The Doctor will see you now!" "Nurse boy, gimme the phone!" "Not him, the good-looking one!" Some of my favourite lines!

Karen Gillan was feisty and has the makings for a great companion. I loved how she chewed him out for not only not coming back on time (5 minutes= 12 years ), but for coming back two years after the Prisoner Zero incident! I think Eleven needs better Time Management! LOL.

There were some classic Ten lines utters and it felt weird hearing Eleven utter them but again, he is still 'cooking', so there are bound to be some ramblings! Partrick Moore! HAHA! And the Doctor can open the TARDIS with a snap of his fingers! YEAH!!! The theme is something I have to get used to.. It's not as dark as I thought it would be. It reminds me when they went techno in the 80's. It is not bad, but it does takes some getting used to. The new opening, I like!! The touches of lightning are neat!!

Overall, I think it was a great start and sets the pace and tone for the rest of the series!

What do you think??

New Doctor Describes How Life Has Changed


Matt Smith, the Eleventh incarnation of The Doctor, sat down with What's On TV and talked about how being cast on Doctor Who has affected his life.

Matt's favourite thing about Doctor Who: "That’s a tough one. The TARDIS or the sonic screwdriver maybe. What is so thrilling about it as an actor is that every day is unlike anything else.. It is such a thrill every morning, you never quite know how the day is going to go, but in terms of his world I think my favourite thing is his brain. I like being able to get into the head the cleverest man in the universe, which he is."
On life-changing: "Yes, your daily life changes significantly, if you go into Tesco it is not quite the same as going into Tesco a year before. I am sure that will continue once it is on the telly, but it is just something you adapt to and like anything new in life, you change with as much grace as you can. My family are thrilled though; it changes their life too. My mum goes into work and she is Doctor Who’s mum. It is a mad thing!"

On advice from David Tennant: "Not about the part, but I talked to David and Billie about being in the show and they are lovely souls. We just talked about life in Cardiff and life in this show, which was very helpful. We chatted about it as fans as much as anything else."

According to Digital Spy, Nighy will play a curator of a Vincent Van Gogh exhibit. Playing Van Gogh in the episode is Tony Curran. The episode will take place in present day and 19th century France. This episode will be number ten in the series.

BBC will not comment on the casting or storylines. Guess we have to just wait and see..

New Series 5 Promo Pic

Ok.. As far as I'm concerned, the next season (series) of Doctor Who will be called Series 5! I am not calling it Series one, Season 37, yada..yada..yada.. I know there is a new man taking over, but really people! It's all canon! As we all know, Ten (David Tennant) had regenerated into his Eleventh incarnation (Matt Smith). The BBC has released a promo pic of Matt. See Below..


He does have a weird chin and he reminds me of Doctor number two, Partick Troughton, in his costume. I was never a fan of bow ties.. But, as I've stated before, I'm going to watch to see what he does.. Although no on can replace Ten, there is room in my Whovian heart for others :D
