Thread Name: BS: Doctor Who
Subject: RE: BS: Doctor Who
I've been a quite avid fan of the revived Dr Who since it (re)started but have found the 2011 series lacking. We had relatives round last night and I realised I had completely forgotten it was on, which would not have happened for the earlier episodes. While I have it recorded, I don't feel I have to watch it as soon as possible. So the series is lacking something, for me. My daughter also said a week or so ago she is considering stopping watching it so that it doesn't spoil the memory of the earlier episodes. The growing frequency of double-episodes seems a bad idea to me - fine when the story is complex enough to warrant it, but bad when it feels a slim story has been stretched to near breaking point.

So what's the general view on the 2011 series?
