We've Regenerated!

Just like the Doctor, Ultimate Doctor Who has recieved a brand new look! You may have noticed the site being closed for the majority of today while I was working on this.

It took a couple weeks to plan, but producing it in a matter of hours. I like to think it's a bit more space-ey, if that makes any sense.

It also has a more simple, smart look I think, which I'm happy with.

What did everyone think of the Doctor's final adventure? I don't think I will be doing episode reports any more ...

Do you like the new look? If not, any constructive criticism is appreciated.
