INT: IN A SPACE SHIP ABOVE EARTH

Out of a window in-between the darkness of space is a
beautiful blue planet with a few black patches covering it,
a loud "BANG!" is heard and a woman is immediately seen
being thrown across the room.

ANASTASIA
what the hell was that! Computer,
did something just hit us?


- You must into your characters before using them in dialogue.

- Sentences start with a capital letter - tons of places throughout with this issue

I liked the old Doctor Who show, where he (or she?) was not the focus, it was the world that he lived in.

You haven't seen the first episode of Doctor Who Christopher unless you're attempting a full reboot. This contradicts a lot of the canon. The TARDIS was not a blue box before the Doctor entered it, it got stuck that way as the series begins.  Didn't like the humansing of the Doctor in the story,  I prefer when he is 'the other', 'the unknown'. They have tried to that to death in the new series which makes it lose something I think.
