I've never watched Dr Who before, which is practically treason as I'm English - however, I've always preferred American sci-fi as its easier to suspend disbelief when the action isn't supposed to be occurring on your doorstep. I decided to give this episode of Dr Who a go, and I've got to say I really rather enjoyed it. Yes it was very British, and a little rough around the edges, but it was enjoyable and kept me watching. Essentially it felt as if Douglas Adams had written it, which is never a bad thing. I will definitely be watching the next episode to see what happens, and finally perhaps I've found something worth my licence fee money.

aha! i see you've played knifey spoony before!
