Yep, let's hope it looks better in the show, cheap and tacky looking .

The new tardis, sonic screw driver and three companions hasn't filled me with much enthusiasm for the new series.

I can't wait to see Bradley Walsh.

I'm expecting him to be as good as Catherine Tate and Matt Lucas. Two others from the field of comedy / light entertainment, whom i thought were excellent following my reservations about them getting parts.

It's not the actors it's how many , three seems too many.

It worked fine in the past.

Ian, Barbara and Susan, Ian, Barbara and Vicki, Ben, Polly and Jamie, Tegan, Nyssa and Adric, Tegan, Nyssa and Turlough.

Chibnall is used to writing ensemble pieces, Broadchurch was a huge hit, so i've no problem with the number of characters.
