Great news for Doctor Who fans in the States, at least. Even though ratings aren't that hot in the UK for series 2, there are two reports, one at iFMagazine, and the other at the futon critic both thrilled with the incredible gains that the SCI-FI channel has been seeing.
Pippa Sheppard looks forward to Series 2:
Way back in the 70’s, the highlight of my week was fighting my sister for the cushions in order to hide behind them when watching Doctor Who. With my child’s mind, if the Daleks couldn’t see me, I was safe. I loved the Doctor, he was an alien, a time traveller, and he didn't die because he regenerated into someone else.
The Scotsman don't like Tennant's accent, nor do they like Davies' stories:
It doesn't help Tennant that a choice has been made to do a kind of East London accent. I kept expecting him to pop down the Vic for a quick spot of bovver.
Over at The Mirror, Jim Shelley tries to figure out which actor was best at playing the Doctor:
That's the trouble with regeneration. You never know what you're going to get next." Quite. In his cricket jumper and straw hat, the clean-cut Davison was the University Challenge, all - English version of the Doctor.
Today in the Telegraph is an article examining the science in Doctor Who:
A close parallel between real science and fiction has remained with the programme for more than 40 years - ever since the first episode went out on November 23, 1963, the day after President John F Kennedy was shot.
