SFX has just posted the first 3 episode details from the new Doctor Who series for 2010.

Episode 1: "The Eleventh Hour" (by Steven Moffat) to be shown 3rd April 2010

Episode 2: "The Beast Below" (by Steven Moffat)

Episode 3: "Victory of the Daleks" (by Mark Gatiss)


Personally, I think Gatiss + Daleks = great episode.

I too am expecting him to pop up in the finale, along with everyone else who has disappeared up into the crack during the series.

I know this new version is very different from the classic, but I just can't imagine people shouting at Jon Pertwee or Tom Baker. "You liar!! You said you would protect/save him/her!! What good are you if you can't stop people from dying!"

Next companion I want someone who isn't from Earth and has no family at all (or boyfriends).

I actually thought he was really funny.

I liked Rory, he was a good foil, you miss that these days with all these feisty sidekicks.

Out of all the new male companions I like him the most (I didn't care for CJ) and he can be funny, but I'm glad he's gone for awhile.

What did everyone think of last night's episode?

Aside from the schmultsy ending I rather enjoyed it. Apart from a couple of references to the overall story arc this episode was away from all the others and gave a feeling of the old 'Monster of the Week' X-Files episodes which I so enjoyed.

Next week is the James Corden episode, not looking forward to seeing him ruin Dr Who for me :(

I really didn't like the ending or the music. The rest of the episode was okay I guess. btw the new iPlayer is much better.

I still haven't tried the dalek game yet, I hope it's good. Have the rest of you played it?

So thoughts on this week? It looks like we are continuing with at least one 'Doctor-only' episode a series. While I tried to enjoy this episode there were too many things going against it, it was the episode before the finale, it was set on Earth (again) also just down the road from here in Colchester, plus, more importantly, James Corden was in it.

Disappointing, but looking forward to next week.

I liked it. It was a nice quirky episode but I thought they rushed the ending a little.

I also played the first Adventure game yesterday with my 5 year old, great fun and a good little story.

It was okay, but I was far more interested in the rebuilt tardis. Not that stupid fat guy and his problems.
