Okay, Doctor Who Day has been and gone, and wasn’t it fantastic? If you;re planning on grabbing a torrent of The Christmas Invasion, then I’m keeping this as spoiler-lite as possible, but it will spill some stuff, so be warned.<\/p>\n

David Tennant is Doctor Who. Simple as that. Taking the strong Rose character and showing that without ‘her’ Doctor she’s as useless as everyone else<\/p>\n

I loved that any of the back continuity was there, but not in a JNT-Fanboy way that screamed look at me. For example, in the Tardis wardrobe…<\/p>\n

Tennant’s on record as saying that Tom Baker is his Doctor (he even has his copy of the Doctor Who Monster Book signed by Baker) so it’s a lovely touch. Not as lovely as sneaking in Baker’s Madame Tussauds waxwork though!<\/p>\n
