David Tennant and Matt Smith sharing the screen as Dr Who. This is going to be fucking great!
On a side note, the more I watch Tom Hiddleston, the more I think he needs to be a Doctor; he'd be fantastic.

Don't over-think it; it IS a kids' show so to have your eyes open more than normal, watch it with a kid, preferably of about 11. A smart one. Like mine. It only takes a moment to watch it with the eyes of an 11 year old for the spell to be cast, then - bingo - you're in. You're 11 yourself again, not only is it drama and fantasy and some humor and technology and plot-twisting, but you're a kid again, from that cool time before teenage years. It's a proper family show, don't really expect to enjoy it if you're not a kid or a parent.
- so i have to dumb myself down to 11 years old to enjoy it?scarabin

Have a feeling Capaldi is going to own this role. Weird that he is dying on christmas though...

It's a family show...not a childrens show.
Brilliant acting and storytelling magic...don't be a grinch
The last 5 minutes...with the return of you know who...was in my opinion...the best piece of television I have ever seen....well done moffat!!
- I'll concede the first point, yes :)
And the 2nd. And agree with the 3rd, yes, it was fantastic :)mikotondria3

Best bits:
• The chemistry between Hurt, Tennant and Smith, with their banter
• Reference/tip-of-the-hat to Capt Jack Harkness (missed him in this, too bad) (Side note, the War Doctor borrowed one of Jack's lines, which I thought was cool)
• Billie Piper
• Those five seconds of Peter Fucking Capaldi. Can't wait to see what he'll do with the role.
• You-know-who at the end
• No River Song!So-so bits:
• Clara Oswald was a bit of lame duck, here, and I normally like her. Her role was almost completely inconsequential
• So, hey, how did all of those other ten TARDISes get summoned, anyway, and when?Not-so-good bits:
• Queen E I's casting was horrible. Couldn't stand to watch or listen to her
• No Weeping Angels. I fucking love them, best baddies hands-down. I would have had a few of those on Galifrey zapping out a few Daleks elsewhere in time, to make sure there's a ready explanation in future episodes where there are Daleks.And the Cunt of the Year Award goes to:
Christopher Eccleston, for not being tossed to participate in any of the anniversary events, let alone sacrifice one shooting day for even just a small 10-second bit showing him after the War Doctor's regeneration. Fucking prima donna.

- < Paul McGann!!!!Akagiyama
- Aye...this was magic....and quite a suprisemarychain
- what? is this before or after matt smith?pango
- Such a shame he never got to do two or three series. I think he would have been great.Wolfboy
- The greatest Doctor that never was!mugwart
- @Pango McGann is the 8th Dr and Matt Smith is the 12th (but this story appear to insert John Hurt into the timeline as the 9th which makes MS 13th)Wolfboy
- timeline as the 9th which now makes Matt Smith 13th)... GEEEK.Wolfboy
- I really enjoyed this. Pity it never went any further with McGann.Continuity
- he has loads of audio books (whos a bigger geek now!!) I agree it would be incredible to has him in a full series. Lets hope there is a spin offmugwart

Wow, Rose and David....
- I'm still really partial to Ecclestone. Smith and Tennat are brilliant, but for some reason, Ecclestone's Doctor really has the edge for me.Continuity
