This is the 11th Doctor, Matt Smith. Unless you count Doctor Who and the Curse of Fatal Death...

A vital part of my childhood in the 70s was being scared of the monsters on Dr Who, and I turned out fine

I like this David Tennant version of Dr. Who! He's really kinda' cute (don't tell my husband that)!

You might want to watch Top Gear, if you can get that in the States, as one of the presenters bears an uncanny resemblance to Tennant:

Heh, when you brought that up I tried finding a picture of the two helmeted figures (not the Judoon) from the episode "Smith and Jones" to compare with the black Stig. Unfortunately no luck...

They are making 4 "specials" with David Tennant this year, and then the new series with Matt Smith next year.

I concur, David Tennant is very good in Doctor Who.
If you like him, you should have a look at BlackPool, it fits his style very well.

I love Tennant as the Doctor. It'll be depressing to see him go.

They already broke that rule with... a certain other time lord. So I don't think that will really be the end.

They "invented" the whole "regeneration" thing when William Hartnell decided that he'd had enough and wanted to leave the show. Considering the almost overwhelming number of "inconsistencies" there have been in the Dr. Who "world" over the last 40+ years, one more isn't going to make any difference

We have just finished watching the Easter special, and while it will probably not be amongst my favourites, it was definitely worth seeing. Lee Evans was excellent, as was David.

Thanks so much Elsi! I download one ages ago, but had forgotten all about them.

OMG! We just watched the the episode "Doomsday", the last one with Rose. That has got to be the saddest episode I've ever seen!

My avatar may be smiling, but it's all a front right now!
