Somehow we manage to be technophiles without being early adopters; perhaps because once we have the measure of a toy, we like it too much to abandon it just because a newer toy is now available. But eventually our video recorder died, and we went out last week and replaced it with a hard disk recorder / dvd burner / player. We had a deadline: we needed to be able to record the last episode of Dr Who.

I was taken by surprise by how much I have enjoyed this series. I must have watched the programme regularly through the first two or three Doctors, but not since: whole Doctors went past without my catching a single episode. And I never saw Queer as Folk. So I was untouched by the pre-broadcast excitement. But from the first show I was hooked by the sheer entertainment value of the thing, by how funny it was. What follows is not written from the standpoint of any great expertise (I haven't even seen all the episodes yet, though I'm hoping [livejournal.com profile] samarcand is going to help me out here), but for what it's worth:
Spoilers, mainly for the last episode )
But if it were up to me, I'd still cast Miriam Margolyes as the Doctor.
