Re: Doctor Who
Why do they put it offset against the hour? Why not '7pm every sunday'?

Have a feeling it might well be ok/good but won't be or have the feel of Dr Who any longer. More the Sarah Jane adventures. However, we'll see...

Guess you don't remember just how young Matt Smith looked when he was announced as the Doctor:

Will she be threatening to give her companion a 'smacked bottom' like he did once ? (although tbf the old duffer probably went off script )

What does The Doctor look like?
Every Doctor has looked different. The second Doctor looked a lot different to Hartnell and am sure at the time people thought, who is this guy. He is a bit of a clown and doesn't seem like the same person.
It is a lighthearted family show after all. Its not a grown up adult SciFi show. It was created for families and children. Originally I am sure the premise was it was to be a historical show so people could learn stuff.

Re: Doctor Who
A brief spoiler-free review in Empire suggests that they have indeed shot and will broadcast Who in 2.39:1, or something close to it.

Personally, I'm waiting until I've seen it before I decide if it has the feel of Dr Who . It could be anywhere from absolutely awful to absolutely excellent. I won't know what I think of it until I've seen it. Even if it does turn out to be awful, I like to give new or rebooted shows a while to settle down, so I'll watch a few episodes, possibly the entire series.
It has an excellent writer for a showrunner though, who also did an excellent job with running Broadchurch, both of which give me high hopes. Jodie Whitaker is also, IMO, an excellent actress, although I've yet to see how she handles comedy (which is actually harder than drama to get right).

Re: Doctor Who
Well so far amost of the early previews have been very positive.
I am looking forward to it.
Rumour is that the new theme.credits won't be shown until the second episode and will be missing from the first one.

Re: Doctor Who
Is it common for the BBC to give Who previews this far in advancing of airing? If it's anything like movies and computer games the earlier the embargo for the reviews the more confident the studios are....
