"I thought he never looked happier than in S17 (other than his period with Susan, Barbara and Ian, once he'd got used to them)."
Yeah, well, exactly; he had this good-looking younger woman who thought he was brilliant and hung on his every word (although obviously she pretended not to be impressed with him), and who was more than willing to have a laugh with him. And was also willing to take care of the scientific stuff while he concentrated on goofing around and coming out with witty one-liners. Why wouldn't he look happy? LOL. Season 17 is one of those things you either love or hate, I suppose; I love it and remain suspicious of those who say they don't... :-)
