    >A lot of british TV was different from our regular North American shows, it wasn't just Who.

    True. One of the reason I watch so many old shows, from a number of different countries, is 'cos they're different to me. The British sci-fi stuff always seemed more serious than ours; and more willing to experiment. That's something I'd always liked. Dr Who, the prisioner, Max Headroom....

    >they have done a decent job to explain why the tenth planet ones were so different from the trougton and baker era ones.

    That's pretty much the description from the old FASA RPG. I think it's nifty how they take the whole, sloppy loose history and USE it. I wish more shows did that, instead of just ignoring or changing the established back story.

    ...I'm looking at YOU; Star Trek....

        And I think they have set up two possible scenarios for a female Doctor or at least a female Time Lord. I don't believe they are through with the Donna Noble character yet...she has the Doctor's DNA within her or something of that order becoming half-human/half-Time Lord.

        And I expect the Doctor's daughter Jenny back again as well. Although I wasn't thrilled with the whole concept, it was very heavy-handed and sort of shoved through the system. Maybe they'll send the actual Doctor away awhile and fill in with Jenny running the Tardis, then bring in a new Doctor down the line? The only problem then would be a Tardis filled with angst ridden teenagers as companions, sort of a Buffy in Space...oh, picture the unrequited love Young Bobby has for Jenny, who cannot love him since she is part Time Lord, oh, the heartbreak! No place for that on Doctor Who...well, unless you consider Rose...or Martha...ahh, let's not go there.

        Personally, I would love to see something more done with the Doctor's early life, maybe a special explaining a bit about his first wife and family and his grand-daughter Susan. An adventure or two prior to Barbara & Ian. In fact, a series of specials from prior Doctors would be interesting, Peter Davison certainly and Paul Mcgann.

            Or at the very least,I'm sure Susan's had kids of her own by now. And maybe even grand kids. Maybe show them perhaps?
