Pretty damn cool!

This animated webcast brings us a new Doctor Who (played by Richard E. Grant) and the mystery of a meteor crash. Shalka, vicious aliens who live underground, are enslaving the inhabitants of several cities around the world as part of an effort to take over the Earth, the Doctor is sent to thwart the scheme. The new Doctor is okay but he just doesn't seem all that bothered about what's going on and the cliff hangers (Except for Eps 4 and 5) have been bad. So far though it has been an interesting little cartoon and I hope was see more of Richard E. Grant as the Doctor.
