Will have to watch the Pompeii ep again to see what I think. Do hope they don't end up snogging too much, think Moff probably won't be able to resist though...

On the flip side, here's to hoping that this means that Moffat et al won't try to bring Rose back again in Series 5. Not that I don't love Rose, but she has her human Doctor now in Pete's World - let's just leave them to their happily ever after, mmkay?

*sigh*

I too like the ginger though and though its looking to be a bit 'DW:TNG' I'm hoping for a level of frustration from the Doctor that he may miss out on being ginger himself (if that desire wasn't just a Ten quirk)

Am I the only one creeped out by this?

No. Me, too. But I do actually find Stevie M a bit creepy. Very talented man, but I do find some of his, erm, fetishes a bit creepy.

Maybe he's positioning DW for a future adult clothing range. You know, halloween costumes, that kind of thing...

I was hoping to go way off to the other side of the spectrum - get someone like Annette Crosbie as a grandmotherly Companion. It would certainly derail the snogging trend in the series!

Matt Smith looks like a decent Doctor, but he doesn't have the sex appeal of Tennant, sorry.... there is something really cute and huggable about David... it wasn't there with Eccleston either.

I actually cracked up watching that Rowan Atkinson, Hugh Grant spoof on Doctor Who that's on youTube (actually written by Moffat several years ago). Now Hugh Grant would have been a Doctor worth snogging....

But that woman Doctor Who with those big knockers, LOL!

I like that thinking!
