The Reactions
Actor and presenter Christopher Johnson made a clever callback to the original pilot episode.
I've seen #DoctorWho 'The Pilot'. Ropey, if you ask me. They'll need to re-record it. Bill wasn't on top form. Ian & Barb were good though!

If Jenny’s any indication, the series got off to a good start.
Already laughed out loud. Already got goosebumps. That's all I need to live tweet, I reckon. #DoctorWho

Comic book artist Rachael Stott decried the imminent departure of Twelve and Bill as a duo.
The fact we are only getting one series of this team is a tragedy #DoctorWho

Marcelina was repping for Donna, but forgot about Clara…just like the Doctor.
CAN YOU BELIEVE TWELVE NEARLY DID A DONNA ON BILL, HOW DARE #DoctorWho

Jae Kay wasn’t sold on the plot but enjoyed Bill’s debut.
Thin plot but decent everything else. Right level of silliness. I like Bill. A relatively solid if slow start. #ThePilot #DoctorWho

Meanwhile Amy’s predicting tomorrow’s tabloid outrage.
All hail Bill Potts! *sits back and eagerly awaits the Daily Mail reader tantrums* #DoctorWho

All hail Bill Potts indeed. Let’s make that a hashtag! Some felt that Bill and Heather needed more time together.
How to make this weeks #DoctorWho better.
Have had Heather and Bill date. The emotional hit would have made sense and would have fitted >

Whilst Ivan pointed out the significance of their names.
A lesbian couple named after them is EXACTLY the tribute the Hartnells would have wanted #DoctorWho

And Iqra sees another Doctor Who duo on the horizon.
i foresee an awesome dynamic between nardole and bill in future episodes and how they make fun out of the doctor #DoctorWho

But who can forget that trailer? Jonny noticed something familiar.
Can't help but notice #JohnSimm was rocking the classic Master goatee in the series preview trailer… #DoctorWho #doctorwhoseries10

Oh and We loved it as well!!
I really like your blog. I am concerned that a rarely see people comment on your stories. I want you to succeed. What is going on?
I thought “The Pilot” started off a little slow but made up for it in the end. The scene where Bill first escapes in to the TARDIS was great. Seeing the Movellans fight the Daleks was pure fan service. Nardole is funny too. The show finally has a bit of humanity again with Clara being gone. Clara was such a drag.
Thank you. Not sure why we don’t get many comments but we appreciate your support. We are doing fine Thx.
Good to hear. I visit the site daily. I’ve been a Who fan since 1980. Tom Baker is my favorite Doctor. The new series started off great. Bill is a welcome addition to the TARDIS.
OOOOhhhhhhh, comments.
I too miss seeing people comment on our dear Doctors adventures.
keep the site rolling, we will try to generate comments.
love from Australia.
