April 5th, 2010 - 2:02pmLoved the new Doctor Who. Better than David Tennant even!!! However definitely do not like the new theme tune. Why mess about with it? Great assistant, best one for a long time.

April 5th, 2010 - 1:34pmWhat have they done to the theme ??????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not sure I like this. The past Doctors hologram was good work. Think I’ll reserve judgement on Matt until I’ve seen more of his work, as I’m looking forward to the Stone Angels and Dalek episodes.
third doctor
April 5th, 2010 - 1:11pmwhen i watched the new doctor who episode on saturday i thought it was boring. matt smith was trying to copy david tennant and the tardis looks awful i sooner prefer the old tardis before it got blown up. also the title sequence there was no doctor who theme.
some people will be mad of what im saying but when russel t davies brought doctor who back he updated it with the doctor ,the tardis.
the best actors who played the doctor when it came back was christopher eccleston and david tennant. matt smith cant act or his companion.

April 5th, 2010 - 11:14amI think Matt Smith had some massive shoes to fill taking over from David Tennant, and…… fair play to him, he’s got off to a phenomenal start.
I bow to you Matt and hope for your continued successes.

April 5th, 2010 - 9:14amI saw The Eleventh Hour thought bits like Amy being a kissagram and other parts were Inappropriate for younger viewers but still good!

April 5th, 2010 - 2:47amAn amazing first episode for the new Doctor and i have to agree the part where he walks through the hologram of his past regenerations is as if to say “this is what your up against!”, personally if i wanted to invade i think i would run too!

April 4th, 2010 - 9:22pmI think this epsidoe was an amazing first episode! A lot of people will love him as the Doctor and will get used to the fact that David Tennant is gone. My favourite scence’s were the part were he was trying all the different foods and when he walked through the hologram of all the Doctors! If you have not seen this episode then watch it…. NOW!!!!

April 4th, 2010 - 3:38pmits named as series 5
booboo

Callum Metcalfe
April 4th, 2010 - 3:21pmAnd also, I have heard that the arc is ‘Silence will fall’, the doctor said that in The Eleventh Hour.
I have also heard a rumor saying half of the series will be in Spring 2010 and the other will be in Autumn 2010, I doubt it and I don’t want it to happen
Callum Metcalfe
April 4th, 2010 - 3:17pmIs the series classed as Series 1 or Series 5?
Steve
April 4th, 2010 - 1:50pmIt’s gonna be FANTASTIC…………
Matt was so good!

April 4th, 2010 - 1:05pmI watched the episode and I thought that it was brilliant!!!!!
Elliott
April 4th, 2010 - 12:42pmSo glad the episode did well in the ratings and most people are really happy with the new show and the new doctor.
I was worried that he wasn’t going to be any good, but I was surprised. Matt Smith is going to be a fantastic Doctor, maybe even better than David Te-…. wait a second. What was his name again??
Callum Metcalfe
April 4th, 2010 - 12:17pmUnless the Cybermen are in episode 11 rumored to be called The Lodger, that’s with James Corden
BooBoo
April 4th, 2010 - 12:16pmThere are so many rumours around but nothing definite, te trailer seemed to show “intact Cybermen” but who knows
Callum Metcalfe
April 4th, 2010 - 12:13pmDoes anybody know all the episode titles because I know some of them are just rumors but who knows.
I think the Cybermen will be in episode 12 and 13, that’s just a guess though
Steve C
April 4th, 2010 - 12:10pmA newly regenerated Doctor of course!!
Callum Metcalfe
April 4th, 2010 - 12:08pmI really liked the episode, it was one of my favourites and I really like the Doctor and think Amy is sexy but however…
who the hell would eat fish fingers and custard???

April 4th, 2010 - 11:45amLooking at the other ratings for the night that’s somewhat brilliant and Matts Doctors seems to be going down very well

Gavin

Devlin
April 4th, 2010 - 11:00amSuperb start to the new doctor. Great new intro credits, great writing – Stephen Moffat realises that the kids are meant to be watching from behind the sofa! No more of Russell T Davies’ cuddly monsters please! 🙂
Brilliant – can’t wait for the next one!
Steve C
April 4th, 2010 - 10:36amBest debut of a Doctor since Tom Baker in 1974!
Loved it and Loved Matt too!!
Simon
April 4th, 2010 - 9:51amThe ratings for the evening are terrible ITV ant and deck have less that 4million so there ratings are brilliant there iv virtually a 3 million gap between 1st and 2nd
