Do you think? The acting in DW outside of the Dr and Rose tends to be pretty dodgy. Catherine Tate and her family in particular Bernard Cribbins (thank god he wont be back) were all awful, Roses family and boyfriend (even though he has gone on to make a couple of good films) were just as bad. The main standout bad actor in TW is the daft welsh boyfriend.
I more enjoyed Torchwood with its more adult themes and I think more consistantly good episodes. Dr Who I enjoy more as somthing I can watch with my daughter and both of us get a bit out of, even if there are a number of silly and inconsistant episodes, although she isnt so keen to watch it now Tennant has gone.
This weeks episode sucked again, cant believe they have gone back to the dynamic of season 1, jealous boyfriend out of the loop tagging along with them, and the main story arc isnt being done as well as the Bad Wolf stuff. I also found it a bit strange that the Dr was quite happy to wipe out a whole species without any thought or concious.
I was expecting with Moffat in charge that we would maybe get a more darker show and better consistant episodes, maybe he needs someone above him to get the best out of him.
Expecting next week to be a more comedy infused one as its wrote by the bloke that did Men Behaving Badly.
