I gave some latitude to the early episodes being boring on the basis they were developing characters and the story but by episode 5 I have realised that it is just boring. There is no real intrigue, the characters are limited and the story is not exciting enough to hold any interest. I loved Matt smith as Doctor Who, one of my favourites after Tom Baker , at this stage I wish he would find a Tardis and escape from this dismal series. I have decided to avoid further episodes and do something more interesting like cut the grass in the garden . Perhaps I will hear there is something major in later episodes akin to a red wedding and excitedly return , but unfortunately I very much doubt it.
