Just another point of view. WE didn't see the opening two hour special but did tune in tothe first regualr episode. I thought the writing was full of cliches, the Doctor's perpetual rage was overdone and very tedious for the fine actor stuck with the lines and the sets were visually very confusing - far too 'busy' - too many lines, colours and textures. AS an action/adventure series it was all cirsis and no characterisation. I was quite disappointed as was my husband who enjoys techno-thrillers .
