Dr Who - Season 6 ep 1 (TV)

Dr Who has finally returned to our screens with MATT SMITH returning as The Doctor for a new series, which proves to be even better than the last.


Season 6 started off with The Doctor misbehaving through time and eventually gathering Amy (Karen Gillan) Rory (Arthur Darvill) and the excellent River Song (Alex Kingston) and then talks about going to America in 1966. 
In case I spoil anything I'm not going to say what happened in the episode but it involved the Dr's amazing ability to befriend someone, this time President Nixon, into trusting him to save someone. 
We found out the president has been receiving direct phone calls by a little girl asking for his help because "The Spaceman" is coming to get her.

Smith received a lot of stick and criticism when he was named as the 11th Doctor. 
People thought that he could not match DAVID TENNANT; who made his version of The Doctor something that every fan fell in love with instantly.
Matt proved everyone wrong from his 1st episode, which aired last year, by bringing to the table a feisty funny Doctor that ultimately surprised everyone. 
Since then people have stopped comparing him to David due to the fact that the new seasons, and the style it has given its self, is completely different  to the other newer seasons. But with new writers and directors this was bound to happen. 
I know people that have said David's series were much more "kiddy" than the new ones which are being dubbed a "serious" Sci-fi TV show. 
This is taking it back to its roots in a way as back in the day, Dr Who was a well respected Sci-fi epic.

In true Dr Who style it has not only left a giant cliffhanger in the very first episode, but it also looks to be providing a series of confusing, exiting and highly entertaining episodes.

Last season the show started off with a crack in a wall, they progressed with this crack throughout the season. It seems that this may be what they are doing with this season as well, with another massively shocking and twisting story.

I for one can't wait for next weeks show, I cant wait for the rest of the season to be honest.
Dr Who just gets better and better.
