This is a question I have been broaching with the Dunn recently.
However...
Young Mr Dunn keeps shifting the goalposts....once series twenty nine has aired then, and only then, will he consider the posibility that maybe, just maybe, Dr Who has indeed, returned.
And so nice to see the Doc stealing my moves - materialising around things, using a form of Stattenhiem, and of course, being responsible for the destruction of whole races....of course, I'd have activated the <insert plot device borrowed from Voyager here> come what may! LOL
nah, a good episode more thoughts in a musing including a control specimen!
there ya go Adam - the set up line for you...

Mr Dunn may be right to be cautious. A great first (or twenty-seventh) series, but will the show survive a regneration, will the great British publc take to David Tennant? How many Doctor Who fans does it take to change a light-bulb?
For me, the vote to the best story goes to The Empty Child & The Doctor Dances, which was superb original television and the best story since Caves Of Androzani. The weakest was Fathers Day. Not because it genuinely any worse than other stories, just blame the fact that I'm an old fart who has read far too many time paradox stories and too many HP Lovecraft stories about weird monsters that inhabit 'the spaces outside of time' to find anything new or original in it.
Did you know ........ David Tennant had a brief 'blink and you'll miss him' appearance as a drunken undergraduate in "Jude", a 1996 movie adaptation of Thomas Hardy's "Jude The Obscure" starring none other than Chris Eccelston himself as Jude.
