There was a new episode of "Doctor Who" tonight. Now, that doesn't happen every day. Or, indeed, every decade.

This is going to sound so stupid, but I was really worried that I might love it. Why? Because they shouldn't be making "Doctor Who" for me. I'm nearly thirty-seven. Ten-year-old kids should love "Doctor Who"; I should just like it. If the kids love it, it'll go on forever. If I love it, it'll be dead after two series.

And... I liked it!

I shivered, I laughed, I punched the air, I cringed, I had my heart in my mouth, I had my head in my hands... exactly how I remember it! Nice one, Russ...

Today's ten-year-olds should lap it up - and then feel slightly embarrassed, but still secretly grateful, in their late thirties. That'll do nicely.
