I disagree with you all, I hate the titles! The music seems bland to me too, and I'm still thinking about whether I like Matt or not. I'll watch it again later, and see whether I like it. However, I do like the elements they've put in the TARDIS, the typewriter etc, and all the wonderful noises the things in there make.
EDIT: After watching Andrew's video above, I think the thing I dislike about the music is how in the build up to Matt and Karen's names forming, there seem to be too many alien (Pun not intended) elements there. Things that weren't there before and in my opinion, shouldn't be. But I think I'm slightly biased, as having never really liked the old series and so not watching them, the 2005 - 2010 titles will always be the titles too me.

I really don't like the new titles, they seem too 'grey' compared to the old ones...
HOWEVER. I did enjoy the episode, and thought it worked well. Loved the part where they showed all the old Doctors, with a longer hold on Tennant! Also, wow at the TARDIS! Loved the little details, things moving etc. And I get the feeling we'll be seeing more of it, form all the stuff The Doctor was saying.

Lots of 404s on the BBC DrWho site - conveniently telling us, the users, that we've typed an incorrect address. I hate patronising error messages.

If they're the same as the one I've just forced by deliberately mistyping an address, it seems perfectly reasonable to me, admits the possibility that something's been moved rather than accusing me of mistyping, and even includes an apposite quote from a classic episode. What would you prefer?

Try http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/dw/episodes/b00rs6t7/videos/p00765br and then see what I mean. No polite suggestions of other mistakes, just the user's fault.
And just as I do that, the page is now available. Typical!

I can't be bothered typing out reviews like I used to, so here is my video review.

Its an inflexion thing. If I finish a sentence on a thought or an un-substantive statement, I tend to use the ellipses rather than a full stop. I tend to type and write as I would speak, and so when you ask a question your voice goes up at the end of a sentence (like vacuous american teenage girls), and a normal statement would end with your voice going down, a sentence with an ellipses would have a continuous tone at the end.
Anywho...
Generally when making website error messages, its best to accept the blame yourself, rather than "accuse" the user of making a mistake. An apology for it not working is also good.
That '...' trailing off thing is rather like mdta does. 
Yes, it is a little patronising.

Oh, yeah, that is a bit snooty!
If I'm reading the subtext correctly, you thought it was okay?

You sound more sensible than how I have pictured you in years. Last time I heard you in person you sounded like a little bratty kid (sorry), and that image has sort of stuck with me, but I will see you in a much better light from here on out.
Also I think this is the first time I will try watch a whole series of Dr Who. Much prefer to see Dr Who as fantasy than sci-fi. Being a Star Trek fan, for sci-fi, and Star Wars fan for fantasy sci-fi, I will appreciate this vision of Dr Who from here on out.
