Yeah, I watched "Power of the Daleks" through the regeneration, and the animation was painful. In fact, I started wondering if I would enjoy the episode more if I just listened to the audio. I had intended to watch the whole first episode, but turned it off after they left the TARDIS.

And I too watched The Show That Isn't Top Gear But Is Totally Top Gear But Just With More Money. It was totally Top Gear! The only sad thing was it focused a lot on cars, and those were always my least favorite Top Gear episodes. But it looks like the crazy races and other antics will be happening in the future, hurrah!
