Brand new Doctor, same old story... (Spoiler alert!)
Thinking about it my title for this blog is probably a bit harsh, however it does sum up my feelings on the first episode of the new series of Doctor Who and Peter Capaldi's debut as the Time Lord. Let me reassure you this won't be a bad review, there are just a few negative points I need to focus on. When they first announced Capaldi as the next Doctor I blogged my feelings on the decision. I was delighted at his casting and had high hopes for what he'd bring. He did not disappoint. From the word go I saw that Capaldi was bringing something new to the table. An angrier harsher Doctor but only subtly so as not to make him unlikable. There were elements of what I loved about David Tenant and Christopher Eccleston to be found, and only ever so slightly a touch of Tom Baker. I'm certainly not saying that he just a re hash of past Doctors, he is most definitely his own Doctor and I feel he will be the darker more mature Doctor I'm hoping for. It's hard to jud...
