I was at a Star Wars concert so I didn't watch it when it was broadcast. I did however watch it as soon as I got home and was utterly blown away by how good it was. Smith completely smashed it within the first ten minutes and Amy was such a breath of fresh after Donna. It felt like a soft reboot, but I was all for it because I had grown bored of the Davies era. Can you believe that was fourteen years ago? How far the show has fallen since then!

I was having a breakdown in 2010 (a lot of my forum behaviour in the 2010s can be attributed to that) and series five was one of the few things that brought me joy. A pity it couldn't last with Smith, who went from one of my best viewing habits to one of my least favourite Doctors ever.

I remember watching it on a tiny television set on a ferry to (or from, can't remember) France when I was 7 or 8 years old. It felt so new and exciting, despite Tennant's Doctor being my childhood hero. For some reason I can't recall I fell off the season soon after, but was glued to season 6 when it aired before becoming largely disinterested when I entered my teens and life become more complex, with other things taking precedent. I don't think I really liked it that much at the time either, the Silence arc being the bag of nothing that it was. Still have fond memories of playing the Adventure Games and buying DW magazine at the corner shop though.

It was a breath of fresh air at the time (and the thought of that was the only thing that kept me going thru series 4 at the time). Sadly for whatever reason it didn't last and the New Poo moronicity set in soon after series 5...

Sadly for whatever reason it didn't last and the New Poo moronicity set in soon after series 5... The split series thing killed all it's momentum at the time. The opener to series six was a total mess, but the first half of that series was more or less fine otherwise and "A Good Man Goes To War" is a banger, but then the break happens, and while I'm of the small percentage that likes "Let's Kill Hitler", I don't think I enjoyed another Smith era story until "Day of the Doctor" |

and "A Good Man Goes To War" is a banger I just remember that as the one where Smith and Darvill try so hard to be cool and intimidating, and instead sound like kids stomping their feet. |

I just remember Smith channeling Troughton, and a more fairy tale like, almost Harry Potter feel to it.

I like the series 6 opener. A lot. It's just that the rest of the season (and the arc it kicks off) spectacularly fails to live up to it.

I don't remember Eleventh Hour in particular. I watched it as part of a whole marathon when I was introduced to the show in 2013. The only episode I'd seen before that was The Big Bang, which I am quite nostalgic for.

I became a man that day thanks to Amy.  |
