Here in the UK,tonight at 7.00pm (19:00 GMT),see's the return of Dr Who,with Christopher Eccleston as the doctor,and Billie Piper as his assistant Rose.
Everyone I talk too seems to be waiting for it with baited breath,as although an episode was leaked onto the internet (the person who did it has now been sacked),most people did'nt bother to 'cheat' and are instead waiting to view it on it's original medium of television.Will it be as good as the others.It is apparently high tec,with no more 'wobbly' sets.
What is it about Daleks,Cybermen,and odd-looking aliens which appeals to all walks of society?
(I will be watching as well. :D )

Watched episode 1 and thought it was brill.Slick,fast paced,good script,British sci-fi at it's best.Here in the UK,the show is a legend,and last night's 'opener' did not disappoint.The chemistry between Chris Eccleston and Billie Piper was spot on.Bring on episode 2! :D
Update 31st March,2005.
Christopher Eccleston has quit after just one series.He will now appear in the remaining 12 episodes.His given reason is that he is afraid of becoming typecast.A second series will begin filming later this year.Rumours flying around are that Bill Nighy,or Richard E.Grant are in the running to take up the role of the Doctor.I for one am disappointed,as Eccleston is one of the UK's top actors.
[For UK viewers.If you dont want to know the xmas plot,dont read anymore!!!]
Update 16th April,2005.
For UK fans,David Tennant has been confirmed as the new DR Who.He will regenerate into the tenth doctor during this year's xmas special,where Christopher Eccleston will be injured while saving Rose from the Daleks!
Update 21st May,2005.
Rumours circulating,but as yet unconfirmed are that Billie Piper (Rose),will only make a maximum of seven episodes during season two.More as soon as I can confirm this edit.What is confirmed, is that Christopher Eccleston will NOT be appearing in the xmas special,as I'd stated previously,and that episode 13 of season one, will see him bow out of the series.
Update 11th June,2005.
Now confirmed that Billie Piper (Rose) WILL be appearing in all season two episodes,to co-star with the new doctor,David Tenant.
Update 24th August,2005.
K9 will return in season two,along with Elizabeth Sladen,as Sarah Jayne Smith.Both will appear in an episode with ex Buffy the Vampire Slayer's Anthony Head.See the link below for more details:
