I won't be blogging regularly about Doctor Who (David J. Howe does that much better than I ever could); but, since I've mentioned it previously, I might as well post some first impressions...

I quite like the idea of the Doctor's new companion being a little older than the previous two, but is it a good idea for her to played by Catherine Tate? Sometimes I found myself wondering if she's too recognisable from her own show to convince as another character (yes, that is another way of saying I expected her to say, 'am I bovvered?'). Actually, she wasn' t too bad overall, and I thought the idea of creatures made of fat was quite amusing. Then again, the early sequences where Donna and the Doctor kept missing each other were a bit too daft; and I'd have liked a little more drama for the series opener.

I wasn't expecting Rose Tyler to appear so early on in the series, though. Hopefully there will be more surprises to come.
