Nope. The one person I know who is a huge DW fan is also batshit crazy, and will likely find herself institutionalized before she's 40.
She also loves Walking Dead and that CW teen vampire show.

There's three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who's got the same first name as a city; and never go near a lady's got a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, everything else is cream cheese. --Coach Finstock
I watch the Dr. Who reboot sometimes. It has Billie Piper in it from that call girl series on Showtime.
Yeah, she was in the first two seasons of the reboot, although she did come back for some episodes in Season 4 and the 50th anniversary special. I think she originally left Doctor Who to be on the call girl series lol.
I tried it, based on the recommendation of a coworker who likes all the same shows I like (Sherlock, Game of Thrones, Walking Dead) but I couldn't get into it. I turned it on and asked my older son to turn if off if there was inappropriate content while I answered a phone call. When I got back, he asked me "Can I turn it off if there is boring content?"
My daughter loves the re-boot. One night when she stayed at a friend's house they were bored, and they decided to watch it. Both of them got hooked.
I tried it, but it didn't stick. Couple of good actors in it though.

My 13 year old son and most of his friends love the show. He watched some of the original series and liked it well enough, but he loves the re-boot.
My 11 year old daughter watched one episode a few months ago. It happened to be the angel statue episode. She has had regular nightmares ever since and we had to get rid of a small angel statue that she had in her room.
As for me, I watched most of the first season and tried to get into it, but just couldn't. Put me to sleep.

I empathize with your daughter. It's truly the mark of a well-written horror though, I suppose, that even I have given angel statues the side-eye ever since.
I actually started watching the Doctor Who reboot more than once but never could get into it either, until the day that I did get into it and couldn't stop watching. I guess I was in the right mood that day to appreciate it lol.
I've seen a couple episodes, but it just hasn't worked for me. But, Peter Capaldi might be the one actor who could hook me in. His performance on The Thick of It is an all-time great one.
For those of you who might be interested in tuning in for Series 8 because of Peter Capaldi but don't want to commit to a marathon of series 1-7, starting at 5:40 in this video Charlie from Emergency Awesome recommends key episodes to get the basics of the Doctor Who universe.
I finally caught up on the first couple of episodes for the new season and the new Doctor. Jury's still out for me. Did anyone else check in for Peter Capaldi?
