Not quite the Doctor I remember. It used to be an eccentric old man and one companion. Now there are so many groupies (6?) I've lost count.
She performs well this episode but I still find a female doctor a little jarring... bit like if you switched on Pride and Prejudice and found it was a group of lads getting married off. Mind you, that could be quite amusing...
I grew up with a Doctor who would not punch a Dalek, though he would thwart its plans in cunning eccentric style.
Why does this chap punch someone for racism? What happened to the real Doctor Who? Perhaps I put on Rocky by mistake...
The new doctor tries hard and does a good job. But I've always known the doctor as a well spoken gentleman. Now he has turned into a woman with a Liverpuddlian accent who can't talk properly (sorry but 'think I of ought to' or whatever it was is not good English). It felt a bit like turning up to a Tomb Raider movie to find the main character has become a fat bloke from Ireland.
I agree with the other reviews. I do feel Doctor Who is turning into an exercise in political correctness for the sake of it.
