The criticism of the scripts in the latest series is probably justified as I have found a couple of the latest episodes to be less than ideal. But having said that, Dr Who is a marvellous canvas for trying new and unusual ideas. No other sci-fi show can really touch on some of the material we have seen in Doctor Who, old or new. Unfortunately, these sometimes work brilliant and at other times it is a little ridiculous and in some cases downright stupid. But that is Doctor Who and I just have to say 'long live DW'
The quirkiness of this show is its strength and if it goes the way of the usual sci-fi and gets too serious, would it then work?
And, for those who like the spinoff 'Torchwood', Jack is back! The new series Miracle Day is due for release in Australia on the 1st December. I liked Torchwood, but then, I like anything sci-fi!
Although the latest series of 'Torchwwood' is made in the US, it is still written by Russell T Davies. The promo looks good.
