The Complete Series 5

"Hello, I'm the Doctor. Basically, run."

And with those words I fell in love with Matt Smith's Doctor and Steven Moffat's vision for Doctor Who.

Things to love about series 5 (apart from the above).

• Karen Gillan
• More River Song
• The move to filming in HD. The series has never looked better
• The St. John's Ambulance sticker on the TARDIS door
• Rory Williams. He does grow on you
• The Lodger: the Doctor attempting to act as a normal person
• The new arrangement of the theme. Okay, it takes some getting used to. But it does grow on you
• Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue. Well, what else would you call the TARDIS?
• Murray Gold's music: less strident than years past (though nothings come close to Doomsday for sheer tear-jerking brilliance)
• "I'm the bloody queen mate!"
• The Winders (I swear one day I'll put one on my desk so people know if I'm in a good mood or not)
• The new look Daleks
• The Pandorica Opens... and it's Doctor Who's Woodstock
• The Dalek begging River for mercy
• The Doctor always leaving the handbrake on (TARDIS' have handbrakes???)
• The first happy ending to the series since the rebirth
• Amy's Choice: killer OAPs and the new series Valeyard

Any many more.

The End of Time

Things to like about The End of Time:

• David Tennant, Bernard Cribbins and John Simm. Honestly, you could spend hours watching these guys.
• The last twenty minutes with the most emotional (and explosive) regeneration ever.
• The last time we'll ever see Sarah-Jane in Doctor Who (though, of course, no one was expecting that at the time.
• "This song is ending. But the story never ends." RTD's nod to the audience.
• The revelation of who will knock four times (I wasn't expecting who it was either)
• The Time Lord's brief return (though I would have loved to have seen more of the Time War. And what exactly was The Nightmare Child and all the rest of it?)

Otherwise it's a bit of a disappointment. An entertaining one certainly, but still disappointing. It feels like an average end of season episode and not an epic last stand for the Tenth Doctor.
