"Bow ties are cool!"

Oh exciting times! As the brilliant Doctor Who returns to our screens finally for a proper series, I can't help but hear the unmistakable sound of the nation sigh with relief that they approve of the new Doctor!
Were you one of the 8 million viewers who watched it last night?! I know I certainly was and call me sad but I actually watched it a second time because my twin was out and had missed it. She asked me if I wanted to watch it with her and I thought, why not!! So there we were at past midnight last night watching Matt smith and even though both of us were tired beforehand, we were so glued to the screen that we didn't feel it once it was on!
Matt Smith I felt was brilliant and the perfect replacement for the equally brilliant David Tennant. And of course, Rachel Gillan was great too! Feisty, funny and she'll no doubt be the centre of lots of new crushes out there!!
I think it was wonderful the way The Doctor and the new assistant met! Very clever!
It's not just new faces in Doctor Who though. Practically everything has changed! The TARDIS has got a swanky new makeover which produced a new sonic screwdriver for The Doctor. There's an interesting new title sequence and soundtrack and the head writer is now Steven Moffat. Prehaps risky to have so many changes but personally I think it paid off!
Bring on the next twelve episodes I say!
