We were uncertain about a woman taking on the role that has been so masculine for our entire lives, and certainly the recent seasons. But Jodie Whittaker was an excellent choice, and we love her three sidekicks. It took a little while to believe in her as The Doctor, but there's some humour, and much to think about in some excellent episodes.

Well worth watching. ( )

An alien travels through space and time with several humans.

2.5/4 (Okay).

I really wanted to love this season, and expected to love it. It's kind of impressive that a show can still be hugely disappointing even after six seasons of Moffat. ( )

The new blood and new doctor has breathed some life into the show which has become increasingly boring and incomprehensible. Maybe it has now erred towards too much "soapiness" and not enough alien but I really enjoyed this series. Slightly less soap and more alien and it could be back to its best. ( )
