Doctor Who: the only series to have a whole programme on the main channel, at prime-time, dedicated to introducing the new actor playing the main character. Boy did they drag out the announcement that the new Doctor will be... Matt Smith.

...who? (Hah.) *checks IMDb* I wish I'd watched Ruby In The Smoke like I'd intended to do, because now I'll be conscious that this guy is going to be the Doctor.

Apparently Doctor Who is also All About The Hair. Dear god, the Doctor is five years younger than me. That feels rather unpleasantly landmark.

I'll miss David Tennant. :( But I'm looking forward to see what Stephen Moffat and Matt Smith do with the series. And I want to watch the Ark In Space again. And the whole of the Peter Davison era. And damn, I wish there'd been more Paul McGann, I must get some more of the audio dramas.

So that's... interesting.

I was thinking that they ought to have the younger-and-younger progression as part of the show - of course, they'd have to explain Sylvester McCoy, but I'm sure there's a decent handwave out there for that. The idea that he gets younger as he gets older is, well, irritating in one way, but it kind of works in another.
