Doctor Who (Matt Smith)

[Sundae]

Wow!

What a wonderful opening episode. Love the new Doctor already, completely and utterly, and am a little bit in love with him. LOVE Amy - the hair!

And I see from the clips of forthcoming episodes that a number of familiar faces are along for the ride. In fact there were a surprising number of familiar faces in the first episode. Olivia Colman for one, who had the most frightening part of all (spoiler when she ran down the corridor with her daughters and all their teeth I physically shuddered - that would have been me behind the sofa a few years ago!)

Mark Gatiss' episode is in a fortnight's time. Unsurprisingly it's replete with period detail... Victory of the Daleks, set in WWII. Even the Daleks have a very austere look to them.

Stupidly, I kept watching the clips to see if Jack was in any one them. I know he isn't. I know I would know by now if he was. But childishly I keep hope.
