(Tho' Obama analogies are actually barred on this blog!)<br /><br />I'm concerned about the limits of Moffat's concerns too, but at the same time I'd rather a little girl in a haunted house every week than a soap opera with crashing stars in the background.<br /><br />(On the other hand, we are now looking at the Davies era from the wrong end. I suspect his tenure will be revised upwards as we get more distance from it, and his sins counter-balanced if not actually forgiven.)Gavin Burrowshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16347163260510316959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4202625234167413814.post-26589213209247236842010-04-12T18:44:57.811+01:002010-04-12T18:44:57.811+01:00A perceptive review Gav, as ever.

I’m encouraged by Moffat’s willingness to try and correct some of the worst excesses of RTD’s time (do I feel an Obama analogy coming on?). There are certainly logical flaws in these stories, but at least there’s a logic to have flaws in. Smith’s Doctor is showing the potential to be a rational detective rather than just a violently eccentric Nam Vet. OK - I do have some concerns. Moffat’s sentimentality is rather heavy-handed for repeated use and his obsessions are rather limited. Is every episode going to be about a little girl in a haunted house? But we have no RTD, no Tennant and an assistant who looks like she might last beyond one series. That has to be good news.Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00659496241392053499noreply@blogger.com
