Doctor Who 30.1 reaction

Thanks to the miracle of of VPNs, I was able to watch the first episode of the new season on the iPlayer. Liked it a lot better than I expected to - it was Who by the numbers a lot of the time, but competently done, and I liked Donna a lot. Am surprised by how good an actress Catherine Tate is; the scenes with her granddad were particularly touching, and she works well with Tennant.
