Russell T.

There was also the 'Vote Saxon' paraphernalia that both the Doctor and Martha generally overlooked in the third series, which culminated in Last of the Time Lords and the Doctor-Master conflict.
Unfortunately the whole "badwolf" thing started out great and then became old, slightly confusing and just boring. Also Moffat has more than one background story going on. As I mentioned, it involves Amy. Basically the companion this time around gets her own story which is kind of neat. Overall there's a bit more flesh to the bones of the series with Moffats writing and he seems to be able to handle more than one story element at once. Unlike Davis, who's stolen earth and Christmas special (forgotten the name) introduced a big cast of characters past and present yet ended up coming short.
