I've quite enjoyed Series 8. It had a mixture of events, places, scary aliens, Companion Alone, Companion and Boyfriend, and interesting/likeable one-off characters.
I liked the gradual development and introduction of the Doctor, as the episodes progressed. This was a real contrast to the Matt Smith first episode where by the time he had eaten a suitable first food he was competent to operate the Tardis and come back and start saving the world. The Twelfth Doctor was not well, he had to spend a lot of time learning his way around, and I think his lack of knowledge of social cues was a good source of comedy to lighten things.
I'm enjoying his blunt comments, my favourite of which is "Shut up, shut up, Shuttity Up Up Up!"
And he has now emerged as a Doctor with a sense of humour, who does know what is going on in the universe, but whose reactions can't be predicted. That's fine for me!
As for age, well it's nice to have a Doctor in my age group.
