Gadz . I haven't been watching it because I didn't particularly rate the first episode but this is not encouraging at all. The best part about the character has been that he ( ) could switch between sillyness / irreverence and a really cold, sharp sort of rage on a knife edge. Tennant, Smith and Capaldi all nailed it. IMO Smith was best at it which is why he's my fav - he could be really charismatic / "jolly" one minute but then the next you genuinely BELIEVED that he could **** up everyone's **** up if he wanted to; and they established that in his very first episode with his rooftop speech.

The Doctor without a dark side feels pointless.
Tbh the Doctor has become a bit of a background character in her own show.
