You know, I think that Doctor Who - the new one, anyway - isn't for us any more.
Us being the kids who grew up on science fiction and want that unique blend of bouncing adventure and real drama that the first couple of seasons gave us. The Comic Con goers, the Battlestar Galactica and Firefly fans.
Instead, from Matt Smith on it's being made four our kids, the ones who maybe found the bigger stuff a bit too scary, on whom the more grown-up themes were lost.
My step-daughter, a long-time Doctor Who fan, reckons that this is actually the case, that the BBC was actually losing younger viewers and wanted the show targeted back at them - hence, fish custard, Daleks who've been largely non-scary (maybe Asylum changes that, I haven't seen it yet) and at least two instances of Doom being avoided simply by Thinking Happy Thoughts (Professor Bracewell in Victory of the Daleks and Craig in Closing Time).
But you know what? I still like it, simply because there's nothing else that's just as much rollicking fun to watch.
