Doubts dispelled

On the eve of the big UK debut, I spoke to my two nephews (ages 8 and 5) this morning and to my delight they are really looking forward to the new Doctor Who. According to my exhausted sister, it’s pretty much all they’re talking about right now. And no they weren’t really very aware of the show before this.

Unfortunately for Russell Davies, kids won’t be talking about Doctor Who in the playground on Monday because they’re off on Easter holidays, but I’m still sure it’s going to be huge.

Who had doubts?  Not me.

Why would anyone have had doubts?

For the record, once everyone’s done with the sarcasm, the nephews loved it to bits and now can’t wait for episode 2. Even the parents enjoyed it, and my sister has never liked Doctor Who…
