Review
Doctor Who is a television series that orignally aired on the BBC from November 23, 1963, sadly being cancelled in 1989, temporary revived for a TV Movie in 1996 (that will be reviewed later), and being revived in 2005, with the show overall spanning almost 50 years, and 11 actors playing the main role of the Doctor. This is not the first time I've watched the show, and I decided that this review might the best to start this blog off. Woah, I got way too ahead of myself here. So, how is this episode? It's..allright. First off, I love the new TARDIS console (If you don't know what I mean, go and Google it), and the Doctor's new costume. It reminds me of the Eighth Doctor's attie, which is a nice touch. The story is allright, nothing too hard to follow. The acting is fine, even if Grant isn't in it enough. I like that it tries to be a fun tale with a new companion, trying to be (mostly) a new start for the show (New title sequence, new TARDIS, new costume, and a new companion) I sure hope that Clara is a good companion, and I'll be watching the show all throughout.

Overall, I give it a rating of 4 out of 5 stars.
