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.
