    Well I enjoyed it

    Yes it's cheesy, yes it's obvious, IT'S Dr Who!!

    Dr who essentially is and always has been a kids TV show Russell Tovey does a fairly decent job, his supporting cast are so with the special effects being a step up from the usual, I thought I'd give it 10 minutes and ended up watching 2 episodes Pure escapism early evening TV that the whole family can watch Give it a go.

    Sunday evening family cheese

    A Dr Who spinoff in which a lowly admin guy gets vaulted into the team negotiating with sentient all-powerful sea creatures. Ultimately becoming ambassador representing the human race. It's an environmentally friendly, family friendly, middle-of-the-road romp. It's perfectly okay, and watchable. Given its pitch, it will neither break the sci-fi mould nor offer much more than a camp commentary on day-to-life.

    Russell T Davies Poundland Avatar....

    Back in 2009 James Cameron gave us a huge hit Avatar telling the story of an Everyman who finds himself encountering an exotic new species and acting as the go between in a story with obvious themes of environmentalism, militarism and displacement. There of course was even a little romance too between our male human hero and our female alien.

    Fast forward to 2025 and Russell T Davies has dreamed up this highly highly original series which of course bares not the slightest relation to the James Cameron hit film franchise!

    Interesting

    I'm really surprised by the negative reviews. Science Fiction has always been a commentary on the modern day. Some interesting ideas here and it feels like Torchwood. The question in the background seems to be "Can humans be better even when the doctor isn't around?" It'll be interesting to see how the story unfolds.

    Listen to it

    After watching only two episodes so far I'm really enjoying it. Those who knock it are only thinking about their required standards of entertainment in my view. I think that the environmental message is far more important and this is a very good way of getting it across. OK, so nothing's probably going to change, but it certainly highlights how pathetic we humans are at managing our planet. I won't be missing a minute of the remaining episodes.
