That Doctor Who announcement

[owl]

I'm sure all of us have seen this by now.

I'm not sure what to think.



On the one hand, a year with very little Doctor Who *weeps* But at least we get the fifth series confirmed, it's not like we're left thinking that it's being allowed to trickle off in specials. I am apprehensive that Rusty is going to try writing the specials all by himself. Because then they probably will be crappy. On the other hand, does this mean that David is being let off to do Hamlet and will be coming back for the fifth series? *oh please*

On the gripping hand, people saying that 'it's on hiatus because Martha was rubbish!1' should go and write DT/BP RFP or something. It wasn't Martha that was rubbish, it was Rusty's finale. And she can kick your arse wholesale.

I haven't seen too many Sarah Jane episodes. I only got into Doctor Who with Eccleston. I tried watching on PBS as a teen, but I didn't see what the fuss was about. I think maybe it was the right thing at the wrong time, if you know what I mean. When DW went on hiatus last time, I filled the void by going to the video store and renting what few DVDs they had. They wre mostly Tom Baker with Romana (the first Romana; I guess there were two?, and they had one with Sarah Jane and one with Leela. We also saw one episode each of the second and third Doctor, plus one with Sylvester McCoy. Now that I'm older and into the new series I'm more curious and appreciative of what came before and the evolution intrigues me. I wish I could get every episode ever and REALLY catch up.
