So how has peter capaldi's season of doctor who been, I haven't really had much access to live tv so I can't really watch it yet.

Personally I've found it pretty average on the whole. It's definitely Moffat's strongest season since his first (season 5), but the same story of great actors being let down by not so great stories.

The season has some brilliant episodes, it has some godawful ones and it has some average ones. Which are which will vary person to person, but I think overall it's an assessment most tend to agree on.

Thanks for the response Zeo, doesn't really effect much since the previous season I watched was the Matt Smith which was always a mixed one for me

My favourite doctor has always been Sylvester McCoy, which one is yours ?

Pertwee is my all time favourite, but McCoy is a very close second. Then McGann in a very close third

McGann, with Ecclestone a close second and Smith at third

Those are good choices, good to see some representation for like of the old school doctors.

I really like the love for Mcgann here, he is a great guy and since everyone else has mentioned their other favourites

McCoy in First, Tennant in Second and Pertwee in third

I think it's one of the best years of the modern series, overall. If you can get past the series 1-esque focus on Clara, it's a great season with only one episode I'd say was subpar (Forest of the Night - although I won't argue with anyone that had beef with the moon episode, even though it didn't bother me), and even then Capaldi is still a lot of fun to watch in it.

I think it dealt with it much better than Series 7... It actually made me like her. Except Listen. Listen doesn't count, and that ending especially doesn't count.

I'd been watching the show about 15 years or so before the new series started, so I was brought up on the classic ones. Getting into it during the hiatus period is one of the reasons I don't have a "my Doctor" attachment to any of them - I just bounced around story to story. The whole regeneration concept never really phased me even as a 5 year old

Know who deserves to be a Companion from the Who-Universe? I know, you're expecting me to say Osgood, but actually I was thinking Gwen Cooper from Torchwood. She's been through enough hell I think she deserves the chance to go cruising the universe. And she wouldn't end up another love-lost puppy-eyed companion, and would kick much ass.

So.. Make that happen.
