However, instead of the interesting, different story of the impossible girl, they've reverted to factory settings and written a boyfriend. As, apparantly, the show cannot exist without it.
Not all young viewers want to see endless romance and Buffy-style storylines. Because you know that is the age demographic they are doing this for. They insult young viewers capacity for intelligent ideas with such drivel. I am happy the series is looking at past Doctor/companion teams like Pertwee/Jo Grant for hopefully new ideas. This season has been very 70s-ish in look and having an older Doctor who is a fan of Jon Pertwee really helps.
