I think he's great!

pointythings · 23/08/2014 20:23

Nope, we're loving him.

'I'm Scots, I can complain about things'
'No point in both of us being cold, give me your coat!'

Oh yes.

Be tolerant, they have a lot of startup to get through. You can't expect lightning plot development from the off. David Tennant's starting episode was none too coherent either, and Peter Capaldi does regeneration madness very well.

Way too many ideas for one programme.

We were confused and now we're bored. The mechanical people have been done to death also. And dinosaurs...

EvilHerbivore · 23/08/2014 20:34

Nope, missing Matt Smith here too Sad

pictish · 23/08/2014 20:36

I haven't the faintest scooby what's going on like...I'm just enjoying his performance.

RJnomore · 23/08/2014 20:36

We don't like it that much eitherSad

Sticking with it though, perhaps we just don't like change.

This is the first Dr Who I've watched since the 80's.

Love Capaldi but I haven't the foggiest what's going on. The Victorian theme is a new thing yes? I've noticed that in trailers over the last few years. Who's the funny looking butler? Why are there aliens in the streets? Why doesn't the Doctor know what's happening? Where are the Daleks?

Sparklingbrook · 23/08/2014 20:40

DH is not impressed, I don't watch it, but it's on. looks very unDoctor Who-like to me. I never did get the hype.

Is it time to call it a day?

LongFingers · 23/08/2014 20:40

Pleasantly surprised here with the new Dr.

Love him. Glad to see the back of Amy and Matt Smith.

GlaceDragonflies · 23/08/2014 20:50

I haven't watched it, myself and the teenager were going to watch it tonight but I've deleted it as we have had a Bad Attitude and Door Slamming.
I need to go and say how brilliant it was but I value my life too much for that Grin

PersonalClown · 23/08/2014 20:50

I'm holding back judgement. I find it takes a few episodes to 'set' the new personality.

SchroSawMargeryDaw · 23/08/2014 20:53

I'm missing Matt Smith, he had my attention straight away but I'm giving Capaldi a chance as I usually like him.

My 3yo on the other hand, is completely unimpressed and he's Dr Who obsessed and has been really looking forward to it.

miffybun73 · 23/08/2014 20:55

My 6 year old wants to watch it. Do you think that I'd be wrong to let him and that it will traumatise him and give him nightmares forever?

Yeah we just got bored with the disorientation and boring intro, still not convinced
