He didn't use guns and knives, he was funny and not afraid of "scary-looking" monsters--(I never thought the efx were "bad", but "British"-- He was MY Doctor and when he left the role, I was devastated!<br /><br />I vowed never to watch the new Doctors and from what I gather, I haven't missed much. I do enjoy the "reboot" and I convinced her to watch and she loves Tennant *and* Baker! She refused to watch the Tom Baker era as a kid because the music and time tunnel imagery creeped her out. Now she regrets having missed out.<br /><br />I think that Christopher Eccleston channeled Tom Baker more than Tennant does. <br /><br />P.S. I still have my personally autographed Elisabeth Sladen ("Sarah Jane Smith") from when nine-year-old me wrote to her in January, 1981.

I look at him and think, "Wow, he's just a kid!"<br />But the episodes are really good. Great storytelling, well-written. I enjoy them.Battyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03892116045581715793noreply@blogger.com
