The only thing that has come good out of watching the first two episodes is that there may be a chance that Billie Piper might return.

I can't understand why they got rid of Martha as well.

Bizarre. Truly bizarre. I've never known someone with such a big gob wanted on such a popular show. Her 'sunshine' comments are older than the hills. It may have been funny the first time around but certainly not the 2nd / 3rd / 4th. Get rid.

I am still hanging on with the current series, just barely. Are all the episodes "in the can" already? If not, please take the hint to "can" Donna from this series as soon as possible.

I rather appreciated that someone could make a competent decision to not follow the doctor into dangerous situations. Also, she's extroadinarily obnoxious, and I don't see her and the doctor reacting well upon each other. She's good for annoying the fans and losing some possible viewers.

Why follow the misguided efforts of other programs and try to put humour in it. It always feels false when you try too hard. Humour should come from good chemistry (which there wasn't), not 'funny' writing.

Please reconsider. It will really put me, and many others, from watching this prgram at all.
