I liked the first two, they were very pacey and made enough nods to the old series without being overwhelmed by them - there were some good jokes as well and, whilst they don't have the effects budget of cinema, the FX money goes a lot further than it did a couple of decades ago. Chris Eccleston is a good Doctor so far - a good mix of playful eccentricity and slightly scary intensity.
The first two episodes did a story each in their 'one hour'* slot, which is an interesting deviation from the old format of running stories across 4-6 'half hour'** slots. I'll be interested to see if they'll be doing longer stories across two or more eps.
