Just finished watching the second episode of the new Dr Who series, and I must say that so far it is very good. This episode was not only scary and spooky, but well acted and having some really impressive SFX. Featuring a CGI werewolf, the BBC have clearly upped the budget from the first series, which did suffer from some pretty lame effects at times. The werewolf here though was excellent, beautifully animated and genuinely scary.
Although I was disappointed when Christopher Ecclestone left the role, David Tennant is turning out to be a rather cool Doctor, continuing the rather enigmatic Doctor creared by his predecessor. He also seems to have a fair amount of chemistry with Billie Piper’s Rose Tyler.
Next week it looks like we will see the return of K-9, and the episode also made the first reference to the forthcoming spin-off, Torchwood, featuring the Captain Jack (John Barrowman) from the previous series.
