    Doctor Who - Capaldi The Dark Doctor vs The Compassionate Doctor

    Two episodes in to the new series so far. Last series, the grumpy, dark doctor was a complete turn off. No episode stood out except the return of the Master and that was pretty pants except the new character.

    Two episodes in to this series and it's jaw droppingly good. Series one opener had more shocks, twists and characters then a normal series end, and the second episode (caught up by torrent) was fantastic. All one for the fans, but the new compassionate, arrogant Doctor - loving it.

    What happens in General, stays in General.

    Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!

      Enjoyed it, Capaldi is the perfect Doctor.

        Gave up on the last series after a few episodes - it wasn't down to Capaldi (who I wasn't sure about but willing to give him a chance) but the scripts, they were utter pants.

        Sounds like the new series might be better - I'll check out the first couple on iPlayer

          Agree this is markedly better than the last series.

          And the Master character is very funny, which adds some light relief and dry humour to the serious plot which is a nice balance.
          Knock first as I might be balancing my chakras.

            The new series (so far!) is a lot better than the last one. And I agree, the last season's debacle wasn't down to Capaldi.

              Wow, 3 out of 3 good episodes. Much better than last series.

                  You all got defeated early in the second episode. You are the England Rugby team and I claim my five exterminate, exterminate, exterminate sweet chariots.

                    The first two episodes were excellent and the third not bad at all. Capaldi is getting better and better I think he may be the best since the reboot. I'd like to see a new companion though, bit tired of this one.
