I understand from what I've read that this last season-ender of Dr. Who set records over there in the UK, attracting enormous audiences.

To all of our British subjects, here -- was it as much of a big media thing there as the press has been saying? Was everyone talking about it the next day?

The season ending episode just aired tonight on the Sci Fi Channel here in the U.S., and I will say this -- I've never seen them have to swing out those supporting-cast names during the title sequence quite as fast before, to fit nearly all of the Doctor's companions from the Eccleston revival to the present. Really good to see Billie Piper back again, too -- if only for a few episodes.

Gotta say, as someone who used to watch Dr. Who back in the seventies and eighties, the writing and production values on this new series are truly outstanding. No wonder the good Doctor has made such a comeback in Britain.
