Actually Catherine Tate just gets better and better. She and Tennant have a great partnership going on the show. Season 4 is sensational.

Of course I have now committed the gravest sin a Doctor Who fan can commit - saying something positive about Doctor Who! ;-)

I loved Christopher Eccleston as Dr Who, thought RTD did a great job of reviving the franchise, got a bit sick of the Dr and his magic stick solving everything at the last minute, got even more tired of the "relevance" and "satire", hated the conclusion of Season 3, hated the Titanic Xmas special even more, and when I found C. Tate was coming back as an assistant, I thought I'd give it a rest for a while.

On the whole it's probably more consistent than most Dr Who runs and I can't fault RTD for bringing it back (and keeping it relatively family friendly and accessible for the most part) but I've found the third season extremely grating with fewer and fewer bright spots.

I'll certainly give season 4 a try when it starts locally, but I no longer feel like jumping the queue (so to speak.)

Give Catherine Tate a chance. She really grows on you. I hated her at first, now I think she's terrific. I had the same experience with Tennant - hated him at first, now I think he's a much better doctor than Eccleston could ever have been.
