I'll give it a couple of weeks before I decide. But no I don't like the new theme tune.

Here are a couple of pictures of Karen Gillan.

Loved everything, even the theme tune. Yes its different but the proper tune is still there and if you listen to the full version on the BBC site the middle eight is there too.

Also remember the 96 movie, that had a big build up before the delia tune kicked in.

New TARDIS is amazing. Looks so good in HD.

Actually, being pedantic here, but the tune was composed by Ron Grainer. The original was arranged and performed by Delia Darbyshire. She also created the famous Woo-ooo-ooo noise by looping bits of tape and playing them at different speeds.

Edit: You can see all the title sequences upto and including David Tenant's at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OuH4y3tbG0g

And yes, I did enjoy the episode. Unusually, the series hit the ground running, apart from some bad camera work.

Matt Smith: Could be a good Doctor. Came across as possibly being slightly creepy, which could be good.

Karen Gillen: Amy is nicely inquisitive . Seems like she could get herself into some interesting situations. Looks good as well. Actually, she seems very much like the young Sarah Jane Smith in this regard.. I've seen Karen in other stuff as well, and she is a good actress. Particularly good at accents (something which they took advantage of in this episode).

The new Tardis: Looks good. And they've already mentioned it has other rooms, so maybe we'll see a few. It always bugged me that in the RTD era, the Tardis only seemed to have one room, where as in classic who, they hinted that it had thousands of rooms. In fact, IIRC, Tom Baker (in The Keeper of Traken) mentions that he is jettisoning 1,000 rooms or 10% of the rooms in the Tardis.

As for the new theme tune, well, I don't insist that any Doctor who theme has the woo-oo-oo sound (I liked the Davison era theme and that didn't have it), but this theme seems like they had a lot of ideas for a theme, couldn't decide which one to use, so used all of them. Too much going on musically for my liking.

Didn't we only ever see one other room? I think it was in The Christmas Invasion when he went looking through his wardrobe.

Possibly, but in the original, they showed many more. The ones I recall are bedrooms for Adric, Nyssa and Romana, a Garden, the swimming pool (which was at least mentioned), a medical centre , the wardrobe and a few corridors.

Well, the Daily Mail doesn't seem to know whether it likes Amy Pond's look or is offended by it..

The Sun's website had a photo of her wearing panties which were a little bit too see-through to post it here.

That photo is around on the 'net in better quality and it doesn't leave anything to the imagination. Definitely NSFW.

PM link required please ...

Although if it's the picture I'm thinking of then it's actually pretty tame ...

I hope those lights are low voltage and what is she doing with out a vest on. She will catch her death of cold lying around on that cold floor. Tut Tut.
