Could be worse.

Could be a grown man getting overexcited about a cartoon on TV.

It seems, as mentioned on here before, that the recent Dr Who series are aimed at an audience that doesn't actually exist in any large number.

Oh well.

Firstly - wow. You're so butthurt you had to go and see what else I'm posting here to try and get a 'bazinga' on me.

And then that bazinga is... me getting excited and being enthused about a tv show. The exact opposite of what I mentioned is so awful here.

<slow hand clap for Blob>
Nope. It's exactly the same thing. Just people offering their opinion on a television show.

You're welcome, hypocrite.

tongue out
Cyberstalking a poster because they disagreed with you. How very, grown up.
'Cyberstalking'... Give over rofl

What does Tom expect... He should try saying that to a table of folks he doesn't know in a pub and see what response he gets.
Unlikely he frequents pubs. Using a word like 'butthurt', he won't be over 13 years old.

Or at least, I hope he isn't.

I'm 48 actually, but lived in the US for many years so I'm afraid I picked up a lot of Americanisms.

And yes I would say that to a table of DW nerds complaining about what is 'canon' and the like in a pub - they're hardly a threat are they rofl

I agree. Jodie would have been fine if only she'd had different scripts. And Capaldi would have been fantastic.

Unfortunately, neither of them did.
Agreed, this has been the problem for years now - the scripts are rubbish.

Space Babies? Total tripe.

Stealing Music? Yeah, kind of promising and I didn't really mind the drag queen villain, it was weird and arty-farty enough to sustain a character like that, but again, the writing was drivel and the song and dance number at the end was the final straw for me.

I'm done, I think, I'm just tired of hoping it'll be better this time.

I don't care if 'The Doctor' is a bowl of jelly, he's an alien, but the current portrayal isn't very inspiring - When John Barrowman's over the top camp character was introduced, it was fine, he was a dashing, heroic character that did cool stuff. The current Doctor's campness is just plain tiresome.

If I want to watch Queer As Folk ,I'll watch that.

The Space Babies episode was awful and the song and dance routine on the second episode, would've been better suited for a Comic Relief special.

I always have a quick look at any new who as I watched it years ago when ecclestone was in.
Tbh I fast forwarded the first ep quite a bit and fell asleep in the 2nd.

I can happily ignore this show completely and just watch the 2 peter cushing films every couple of years when they are on.

Episode 3 was a marked improvement. Went downhill towards the end though. Regardless of the script, really liking Ncuti.

Yes, I think Ncuti is really good in the part and as previously alluded to, Millie is ultra cute. (But did anyone notice the next assistant in a minor role/)

This episode was magnitudes better than the previous two, with lots of great lines. And the relative absence of dancing and wokery helped a lot.

After reading the posts on here I was happy to write it off like the Whitaker years. But gave it a shot for 2 episodes. 1st episode was awful. 2nd episode was entertaining and not a bad story line until the song and dance routine at the end.

I thought that was the best episode in absolutely ages,

Much better for not running around like idiots but they couldn't resist getting a mention of Lesbians in the dialogue.

If I went on about lesbians half as much in my workplace and BBC script writes do I would spend even more time in HR that I currently do rofl

A good episode but he’s a bit too shouty for me.

I thought this episode was the worst of the three so far. It started off strong, and the premise of the Doctor being stuck in one place unable to move, yet still somehow saves the day is a good idea, but the ending was just pants.

It was messy and shouty, and relied too heavily on woo and a dads love to save the day (FFS). This felt like a return to the poor writing that plagued the last few years of the show...

Mundy Flynn in Boom was Varada Sethu, who will be the next series companion, not sure if she will be the same character in the next series, but it looks like it's all part of the plan.

Put space babies on this afternoon as we had the grandkids after school, and I wanted a look at the new series.
The 9yr old and 7yr old where not interested more ineresting stuff on the ipads
My 5yr old watched parts of it , but kept calling it Dr poo.
I do hope she just misheard me . She's not that clever is she smiles &#128516;

Now that was more like it, really enjoyed that even if I’m not sure what went on. RTD has redeemed himself somewhat.

Sadly, next weeks looks pish.
