PRESS QUOTES:

* “Just about anyone with a pulse can enjoy Doctor Who, it’s that good and that much fun, but if there are Lost fans out there who’ve never tried this frisky British import, now’s the time to get on board.” – AOL, Maureen Ryan

* “…along with Fringe, it’s the best sci-fi on television” – New York Post, Steven Lynch

* “…even in the midst of all the time puzzle questions, the tears and the creepy monsters, there was still plenty of room for Moffat’s brand of madcap comedy” – Hit Fix, Alan Sepinwall

* “What Doctor Who gives us, that so much science fiction does not nowadays with its pathological analysis of heroism, are romantic mad adventurers, not without their moments of doubt and pain but having a good time in between: The series conducts its serious business with a good deal of comedy.”- Los Angeles Times, Robert Lloyd

* “Quite Possibly the Best Doctor Who Season Opener of All Time” – io9, Charlie Jane Anders
