Oh, you!

Years and years underground, waiting, waiting...

And now it's time! Let loose the Fan-Gun!

You are of course quite right. In fact you're entirely right. Your pleasure is my pleasure, and I salute you/us/me!

Caitlin, your DW reviews are so much fun I sometimes wonder if you're RTD. Is it possible? Surely even he would hesitate to have quite so much fun saying how good he was?

Keep up the good work!

Steve Thrower, London,

Caitlin, Caitlin, you are a clever woman, an insightful and amusing critic and a good writer (hard to find these days).

But a woman like you doesn't get to be what and where you are without some character-forming highs and lows. I suspect that Dr. Who (which I have been watching and enjoying with my son since he used to hide from the Icemen behind the sofa) is far from your most traumatic experience.

Your critiques are better (and funnier!) when you keep your balance.

Catherine Tate is Bonnie Langford in disguise - You have been warned, Earthlings...

Catherine Tate in all of the next series?
Oh no.

I was happy to see the back of Freema. Though she is a very pretty girl, her acting range is really limited and seemed restricted to various types of wide-eyed gaping plus a sulky face. My one wish for the next season is that she doesn't come back - she's the worst companion the Doctor has had, and that includes Adric.

Christy A., Newcastle, Tyne and Wear

The worst aspect of Doctor Who under the new reign has been the sheer overblown wetness of it all. The sight of the Doctor weeping for the Master must rank as the least moving moment in TV history. Ugh.

This is a shame as the production values on this show are consistently high and the very best episodes have been excellent -although it's probably significant that none of them have been written by Russell T.

Caroline Kemp, Macclesfield, UK

Family of Blood and Blink were good episodes in what was an extremely poor season. As for the season finale, it was terrible.
Not that I'm a Doctor Who purist, I stopped watching the show in the early 80s, but Russell T Davies' cannot do sci-fi.

Nothing huge happened -- it took three episodes to reach tonight's climax, which was over in a flicker of an eye and seemed to be based on Lord of the Rings (Doctor Who becoming Gollum -- Tennant didn't just age, he shrunk too!), Harry Potter and Return of the Jedi (the burning of The Master's body on the pyre a la Darth Vader -- all we needed were Ewoks dancing in the background). The story's finish was was more akin to Scooby Doo than Star Wars though. And Martha Jones had no purpose whatsover and we will have get to know yet another new assistant next series.

Not that I'm one for the old days of Dr Who, but at least the writers treated their audience with intelligence with regularly well-scripted and often gripping storylines.

Caitlyn. Hoorah another woman who loves Dr Who as much as me. I've watched it since I was 6 right from the very first episode. (You do the maths, it makes me too depressed!) Anyway keep writing the brilliant articles. I'm with you on the pig men. What was that about? But otherwise a brilliant season. The week between Human Nature and Family of Blood - God i thought it would never end. And as Russell would say Freema Ageyman - hoorah! How good was she? I'm sorry she is not in the next season so much but that decision is so right for her character. Sorry burbling on. Pining with you til Xmas.

Chris Webb, Ely, UK

A brilliant climax to the series!
Thrilling, moving – can't wait for more!

Doc M, Glasgow, Scotland

Actually I think the storylines have been very weak with an overreliance on CGI and famous historical characters. And a peculiar obsession with America, probably because the writers are either Eurosceptics or more concerned with selling their shows to The States. Daleks are boring me now, and the Cyberpeople just looked stupid. Also there is an overeliance on quarries and disused power stations (as if the future is going to be automatically more industrialised). Human shaped monsters are dull and insipid - there's been no real clever writing.

Jon Kingsbury, Southampton, UK

I can't agree more - and thankyou Caitlin Moran for making it OK for 30 something, professional intelligent women to say that the best thing on TV is a sci fi based kids programme.

I LOVED the ending - OK, it made me cry and shout NOOOOO at the screen because I felt Martha's pain and thought she'd been fantastic in the show, but once the wine had worn off a bit and I was thinking a teeny bit more rationally, I was filled with a 'you go girl' admiration for her which salved my paid (a little).

The stories have been superb - story arcs covering the whole series and tied up beautifully at the end. The acting was fab - John Simm was brilliant, as were the rest of the cast. It straddled the line between camp and pathos, silliness and satire and I loved every minute of it. Six whole months until the next series? They'd better bring Torchwood back pretty quick or I can see myself spending an unhealthy amount of money on DVD box sets.

I'm with Caitlin but please can we have Martha back - a strong, female sidekick with her own identity outside the Doctor is what we need - the mooning over Rose got extremely tedious - I prescribe more Martha for the Doctor (and the viewers).

Sara O'Connor, Beccles, UK

I'll certainly miss the Doctor and the beautiful David Tennant but I might just miss Caitlin Moran's fangirl enthusiasm even more!

Angela, Sydney, Australia

Agree about the Family of Blood and Blink episodes-brilliant. Not so sure about the series finale though. Weren't the toclafane appearing from the sky just a bit like the Daleks coming out of the breach in the last series? Isn't the Master just a bit too much of a Bond villain, and I'm not convinced sidelining the Doctor as an old man is a great idea-for all the strengths of the other characters, he is the heart beat of the show (or two heart beats to be more accurate). By the way, I don't subscribe to the BBC-they take money off me because I own a televison, and enforce their tax to the point of imprisonment for non-payment. Just thought I would get that off my chest!

Mike, Lydney, UK

I could hardly wait until the finale. Sadly, it was-for the most part --majestically BAD. Barrowman's character shouldn't have been brought back at the same time as the Master - it meant he was chronically underused and the Doc and Jack sharing
fewer scenes; a pity since Tennant and Barrowman played so well off each other. In season 1 the Doctor and Jack shared a delightful, subtle flirtation which gladdened the heart of MANY a female --and male --fan. We waited two years looking forward to more of the same and were very disappointed that it didn't resume. Davies had the Doc abandoning Jack at the end of series 1 and after all this time what lame explanation did he invent for the always compassionate Doctor leaving behind the man who had just DIED covering his back? Why, he RAN away coz Jack was now immortal! RTD is usually good at providing emotional satisfaction but by concentrating too much on the Martha/Doc/ Master relationship he dropped the ball on the Doctor and Jack. Shame.

...And this 'enforcement of tax to the point of imprisonment for non-payment' just happens to lead to the consistent production of the best quality TV and radio in the UK (maybe the world), all for 40p a day. Or maybe there's a case to be made for the commercial channels? Mmmmm...wall to wall celebrity, reality, soap, dial-in quizzes and adverts. Just thought I'd get that off my chest!

Glyn chapman, Newport Pagnell, UK

Blink..*shudder* That was just creepy it made me jump..well let's just say I jumped alot..The family of is quite shocking as the doctor turns into a human and falls in love with a woman and Martha a nurse..The master is funny, he makes me laugh a dummy but smart..And I cant belive what happens on the very last episode on doctor who..Returning at christmas! I must see it. And you'll have to watch both 2 episodes to find out! :)

Dr Who
The best show in the galaxy and David Tennant the best man in the galaxy .................but maybe the surprise is the Master turns into the doctor!

heide hardiman, newbury, birkshire

I think Doctor Who is getting better each season, however, I question why and how come the allegedly indestructible Tardis, is always being blown up, or ripped in half by the Titanic, oh how the plots thicken. As for Freema, although reasonably good, I was happy she left, knowing she may return, would love to see more alien worlds and perhaps UNIT and Torchwood involvement, oh and more rooms of the Tardis, rice pudding for tea, etc, etc.
