the new Doctor who series have a bigger budget and better writing than the past generation and it be ton of fun ! we prefer Christopher Eccleston in the 1st series as the doctor . David Tennant 's Doctor be just a bit melodramtic nutsy with a tinge of mushy humanism -lrb- a few too many diatribe about how magnificance of the human race -rrb- . otherwise , we have enjoy the 2nd series as much as the first and be look forward to the 3rd . we just might have to go back and watch some of the original series just so we know the history of the doctor better .
