I don't even know why I bother....
this journal seems to be effictively dead however I feel it neccessary to write this. My grandfather got me the new season for Christmas and I've only just started watching it now (I am procrastinating already) and I gotta say it is the best kid's show ever! I know over here it is a sci fi cult classic but it is first and foremost a kids show. There are many reasons I love it: David Tennant, the fact that the theme song and some of the special effects from the late 50s/early 60s are still used, all alien attacks and such are directed at England/Wales/Scotland, the fact that despite the (intentional) cheeziness I still genuinely care about everything that happens.
I think the main reason is, however, if one were to ask : "Is there an episode in which the doctor and Rose (his companion) accidentaly travel to Scotland in 1879 and end up having to help an elderly Queen Victoria and an obscure Scottish noblemen battle a bunch of rouge Scottish Benidictine kung-fu monks and their werewolf?"
The answer would be "Hell. Yes."
Clearly, my brain has been severely addled.
