I have to agree that the series seemed rather Earth-centric for a traveller who has unlimited access to space as well as time. But it really does cement the series to a world that viewers will understand. It also manages to be topical and witty. Alien planets and squid monsters take you only so far with a modern audience. But I have a feeling there will be more "off-world" adventures in the second series.This something the writers have stressed a number of times - the first series was Earth-based to provide a context & grounding for new viewers, and the second series will feature more off-world locations (as shown in the teaser with the Christmas special).
