My daughter messaged me earlier saying she'd seen the new trailer and it looked good.
I grew up with Tom Bakers doctor, then lost interest at Colin as I was a teenager and more interested in going out with mates. getting wasted and girls.

I got my daughter watching Nu who, she liked the start with Eccleston and Tennant and went off it after it changed hands to Moffat, She was ateenager by that point and was probably more interested in going out with mates, getting wasted and boys.
Now she's got a kid and I know she's showed him at least the Dalek episodes, he's slightly younger.

So i think everyone has a Doctor or two when they are at the right age. I was Tom and Davidson.
I think the fact Moffats were more time based and confusing and Chiinballs were a bit limp turned people off.

I'm hoping Davis will return it to a land in one place sort out the problem kinda vibe as i think thats when Dr Who works best. If my daughters thinking about watching it again, she will get her kid watching it as well, this is a good sign i'd say.
