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.

Oh gods, a Bond younger than me would give me a shock. Someday it'll happen. Argh.

And, true - in recent Doctor / companion changes, they've all been good (although I still wish they'd kept Martha around).

I'm feeling slightly... maliciously pleased? Because this is the sixth change of Doctor I've seen, and the third time it's slightly broken my heart - and I feel that the new fans are probably starting to really understand just what this series periodically does to viewers. :7

I really wished for more Martha, I was a bit disappointed in The Sontaran Stratagem and The Poison Sky since a lot of the time she was actually not!Martha. And I really wanted to see a lot more Martha and Donna interaction, I think that would have been really fun for them and us. :)

It didn't bother me so much, somehow - I know it was not!Martha, but I felt like I got to see a lot of Martha, even though I didn't. *shrug* I'm apparently easily pleased with substitutes. :)

But yes - Martha and Donna were fun together. I liked that they made them allies, and not rivals. Heh.
