Re: Doctor Who
Yep ... I saw it on Graham Norton last night. Within about 10 seconds it was obviously the Doctor. Whatever else she does with the part she obviously ‘gets’ what always makes the Doctor, the Doctor, regardless of regeneration.

I'm curious about this ;
According to the TV listings, it only has a 1 hour slot
They've probably said it has a lot to introduce as while it is an established show, it has 4 main characters to introduce. In the classic series, that would have been relatively easy, as apart from Tegan, Ace, Sarah Jane and Nyssa, the companions didn't really have much of a back story. Since the new series has appeared, the companions have all had a back story, although Steven Moffatt backed off on that, with Amy, Rory and Clara having less of a back story than Rose, Martha or Donna.
I'm not if sure you got the point - how do you fit a 65 minute episode into a 1 hour slot ?
