well worth a watch of a repeat if you have freeview, even if you haven't seen the rest of them.

I get a feeling there will be a repeat run of the whole series, possibly just before the DVD boxset comes out in November (if it happens at all, thats probably the most likely time) for those who have missed it and don't have the single volume dvds by then.

When they got the writer of this series, he wrote it bearing in mind that it was going out at 7PM on a saturday evening, and played down the sci-fi aspect a little. It's obviously still there, but it's not heavy techy sci-fi like Star Trek etc. There's a lot of plot development and character stuff there too.

I think Doctor Who has always had this to a greater or lesser degree, but in this version, the combination seems to be just right to retain the old fans as well as pulling in brand new ones.

I thought it was unlike the BBC to produce such a lavish ending, but they did it, and they did it well.

I liked the kissing (especially Jack and the Doctor, wheeee!) and the regeneration at the end. Not quite sure yet what to make of David Tennant though ;)

I LOVE DAVID TENNANT!!!!

Oh Yeah! He's completly, deliciously, absolutely gorgeous!! Is it strange that I found him hotter with the Scottish accent he had in the Queen Victoria episode?

Captain Jack was hot too, I was gutted when they threw him off Dancing on Ice; he was clearly the best!!

I'm finding this series great, especially last night's episode. My consience has now taken on the form of K9 :cool:

I loved the last series, I thought Christopher Eccelston did a great job but David Tennant is brilliant too, in his own special way.

Peter Kay? You don't say?

David Tennant is gorgeous, a couple of my friends thought I was weird for thinking that (although they're straight guys). Last night's episode was the first one I've watched, and it was great. Didn't realise Billie Piper was into acting though, I remember her pop career at the beginning of the Britney-era.

    • Less so with 5 Live. But with Nihal, Nicky Campbell and Mark Chapman get what you are saying.6 Music does have that with Huw Stephens, Mary Anne Hobbs, Gilles Peterson, Marc Riley and Mark Radcliffe
    • Agreed, Martha seems to quietly taken over as host of the Tuesday Bass and Big Beats show that Annie Nightingale did would be good to have some promotion to be done for her show. Agreed with this on bank holidays on a Radio 1 dance day inpaticular would be quite good to have Sarah Storey, Jaguar, Jeremiah Asiamah, Charlie Tee and Martha presenting. I always felt that in Christmas and New Year previously having Victoria Jane to do a Future Soul take over playlist.
    • To be fair to him, this week and next week he’s on his podcast tour which was arranged well before he started on R1. After that I would guess he’ll start being on everyday? 
    • It’s Jamie’s dream of a lifetime to be a full time Radio 1 presenter apparently, but he can only do it 2 or 3 days a week. 
    • Radio 1 generation meaning??  Today's 10-30 yr-olds? I doubt it. They'll still know Pete Tong though, because he is rhyming slang!
    • There was a time when everyone knew Zane Lowe or Annie Mac or Judge Jules or Dave Pearce or Annie Nightingale. Does the Radio 1 generation know the current bunch?
    • Looks like it's off to Preston! 
    • Would be nice to give more presence to the specialist shows over bank holidays. Surely the best way to promote new music credentials over anthems? As much as I accept it's very popular.
    • Peak radio 1 ! I agree with Bluestraw there was huge presence by specialist presenters then , certainly something I think radio1 could do more of now. Remember the takeover where specialist DJs would swap into main shows for a week? Or do we recall In New DJs We Trust, the competition on Chris moyles show where the winner would get a DJ set at radio 1s Ibiza weekend, and that is how Danny Howard’s radio career starters
    • Yeah. He started on R1 in the late 90's when they used do the 'Sessions in the Nations' where they used to split for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. He then moved to daytimes, firstly on weekends in 2003 then they replaced Mark & Lard on the mid afternoon slot in 2004.  Then he moved to late evenings as a specialist DJ.
    • Thanks for sharing that - I don't think I've seen it before. Didn't realise that Colin Murray off of Countdown and R5L used to be on R1! Several other current R2/R5L/R6M names there too.
    • 29th April has updated to show Dan back as presenter but still Nels in for Alyx on Introducing Rock. 6th May schedule has updated to show that the Radio 1 Big Weekend Shows will now be the following: 6am-10am 10am-2pm 2pm-6pm 6pm-8pm Still no presenters listed.
    • Where do we think Radio 2 in the Park will be this year? Personally I'm thinking Swindon after Scott's clue of it having many roundabouts and since Big Weekend is at Luton I can't imagine they'd go to Milton Keynes.
    • Yeah, I feel like they need a big push on Jack to cement him in his new position. But it shouldn't just be Jack, you've got Sian and Alyx for instance, who are relatively new faces.
    • Now in it's third week, the new Capital Breakfast Show seems to be settling down well and there are more of the informal, random Jordan topics appearing.  Though it is clear he wants to be seen slightly differently. It really is a very decent listen.
