Goodbye to the 9th Doctor

Who could have guessed that the resurrected Doctor Who would be that good? My God, after watching the last episode of the series and the Doctor's death/regeneration there is only one word to sum it up - FANTASTIC

It wasn't just that it made such a welcome change from reality tv and AntnDec, Doctor Who took us back to the days when the BBC was not afraid to make challenging, brave drama. For Chrissake, Doctor Who this series brought us a male/male kiss at Saturday tea time (not a passionate kiss, but it was on the lips nonetheless). And that's not to mention the 51st century sexual freedom of Captain Jack who "dances" with both men and women. Russell T Davies stopped short of banging a drum for gay rights - instead he did something far more clever. He made sexuality a non issue - it's just how you are! How many kids, having idolised the Doctor, Rose and Jack will have a slightly different view on sexuality now? God knows, and only time will tell.

So now we have 6 onths to wait until the next installment. A new Doctor and different issues but with RTD at the helm it is certain to be a hell of a ride!
