Thee Goode Doktor

I'm live blogging the start of the new Dr. Who series. The first post is down here.

Currently we're in an ad break.

Dusty the talking vacuum cleaner! (Not a working vacuum cleaner.)

OK we're back. Wow, they cut away from that dude getting shot. I'm pretty sure when I was a kid I saw people getting killed all the time on this show, but apparently we can't have kids seeing that sort of stuff anymore.

At least they finished off the climactic battle with a satisfactory number of huge explosions.

So, that was actually pretty good! Maybe took itself a bit seriously, and it wasn't quite as funny as it thought it was, but well done BBC, for not completely fucking it up.
