TV My Mum actually threw her arms in the air today and said -- "If I pick up one more newspaper or magazine and see bloody Doctor Who..." Great. I thought. That's exactly how it should be. From an expectation when the series was announced that it would eventually turn up largely unannounced, spotted by fans and hopefully working through by word of mouth, things are reaching saturation point.
When even the popular press is picking up and running with the hype, in ways not usually seen outside reality tv or soap operas, you can tell you're on to something. Those people can smell a failure right away and although they always like to build things up so they can push them over, I don't think it's going to be like that this time. Everyone seems to want this to work, with an excitement usually seen when a national team is taking part in some sport or other. Anyone know any good Timelord football chants?
