I can't enjoy watching the new iteration of the show until they get rid of Murray Gold (music composer). He makes the post 2005 series completely un-watchable for me unless it's on mute. I was happy when Russell T. Davies left as his writing and show direction were terrible. I've watched the first series of Matt Smith and stopped. I'll probably have to catch up with everything before I see this.
I watched Pertwee, Baker, Davison, Baker, and McCoy's entire runs by the time I was 12 years old so I guess I'm just an old-timer when it comes to the show.
I like John Hurt but yeah I'm disappointed they couldn't cut a deal with Eccleston or Paul McGann. It just brings back memories of the 5 Doctors where Tom Baker was a wax figure in promos and archive footage spliced into the final episode.
