There's been a big following in the UK since the revival of Doctor Who in 2005 and especially after David Tennant (Brilliant actor) finished his time on the New Years Day episode I wondered how people in the US see it.

Does anybody like it?

What episode did you watch? Which Doctor? Ninth? Tenth? Previous 8?

New Doctor Who is amazing although there have been a couple of crap episodes. But never slow and draggy (except for New Series' "Planet Of The Dead" which was "kill-me-now" slow and boring).

Which one of these? (Of course not the last one since he has only done one episode so far and he was in it for 3 minutes...)

I'm not from the UK, US or Australia and they don't show Doctor Who here, so I have other means of watching it, and I have to say I BLOODY LOVE IT! (in a Welsh accent, lol)

It's just simply amazing. One of the best television series of all time. Brilliant storylines, awesome cast, good writers and it's just an amazing production altogether.

Well, judging by the trailer it is going to be even better.

- Knock knock.
- Who's there?
- Doctor.
- Doctor who?
- Correct!

I've never really seen it, but I've heard a lot of good things about it. Does one have to see all the previous older ones before starting the season say Tennant plays the Doctor?

Lol at that joke!

I wouldn't say its necessary to see anything before Tennant to learn the understanding. I did watch Christopher Eccelstone (not sure that's spelt correctly) who did the series before and the first of the 're-makes' but you pick it up fairly quickly with Tennant.

There is hardly any continuity from the old series (1970s etc) which isn't explained in the new ones and it's not essential to watch Eccelstone's but there are a few characters brought over to Tennants series relationship wise. If that makes sense...

I can say, as an American, no. But I do know an American (one) that does, though I don't know where and it doesn't air on TV here in America (least not where I live).

...Though, I do watch Green Wing. Which seems to be a British version of Scrubs.
