i've only just started watching first series of doc who and i have to say i really didn't see that much of a love interest with billie and christopher eccleston. they had fun, they flirted, but i didn't get the feeling it was love the way it was rammed down my throat that it was with david tennant and billie. then it was ALL about the long looks, the unspoken crap. in fact, though i like david far more as a doc (mostly cos he's pretty) i actually prefer the billie-christopher ecclestan series because it's less mushy crap.

and the martha falling for doc straight away was irratating beyond belief. though i like her as a companion, she doesn't get to live up to her poetinal because of the love crapp
and having catherine tate around is just going to be awful. she's whiney, she's irratating and she can't act. i can't think WHY anyone would cast her, other than to try and cash in on her 'popularity.' and why she's popular either i dont' understand cos she's not funny.

so yeah, personally io feel the whole relationship/love aspect was really forced and it was so much better before it was driven home to us all the time.
