I watched bits with the Doctor and Jack, and the fam and fast-forwarded the rest. It was a lot more enjoyable that way. I liked it so much I almost stopped fast-forwarded, but as soon as I did people exposited boringly and so I buzzed it on again.

I will probably do much the same to the CC eps, and watch eps that aren't by him, I expect. I'm not very good at not watching them, even if it would be sensible at this point.
