Dr Who will never be the same

The return of Dr Who a dozen or so weeks ago was the mark of something significant in my life.

Little did I know the return of the good Doctor would make Tuesday nights tv viewing such a pleasure - Corrie, Dr Who and Da Vinci all on the same night all following each other, almost a perfect nights viewing; the only thing missing was the new series of Battlestar Galactica :-)

Little did I know my daughter Lizzy would also fall for the good Doctor in a major way.

In general I don't like television, 99% of it is utter bollocks, but once in a while something good comes out of it; the return of Dr Who, with Christopher Eccleston and Billie Piper is finally something good on tv.

Tonight was Eccleston's last episode, time marches on but not for Eccleston in the show, we knew early on he would be going, it was sad to see him go still, Eccleston made an excellent Doctor. I hope the new guy can put his own mark on the series.

The series will return with the "Christmas Invasion" a christmas special recorded before Eccleston left the show. Until then Tuesday nights will not be the same with without old big ears and a northern accent.
