For that to happen the series would have to change tone. At the moment it's all too 'lightweight'. For any real threat to be present it would need to take a u-turn into an altogether darker show.

We need more episodes like The Library or Blink or Asylum of the Daleks.

The grandson is so annoying with his public schoolboy catchphrase circa 2001.

"Oh my days!"

fk off you bloody fairy.

P.s. nothing against public schools or fairies.

If true, was it worth her bothering? They will have used up the next 12 regenerations in 4 years at this rate smile
Tom Baker did 7 years!

With fast enough churn they may even find a decent writer within the next decade, although if it's true that the BBC pass the scripts through their "diversity amendment department" before filming what writer of any talent would want the job?

It's obviously part of the diversity thing, but is anyone else irritated by Ryan's continual reminding everyone that he has a "coordination problem" even though the only two things it prevents him from doing are shutting the fk up about it and riding a bicycle?

Christ yeah. Let's hope no one tells him he's black or he'll never stop whining.

I'm enjoying it. Mrs TS was never a fan but she's adopted the new series fine.

Saw a Tennent episode the other day and it seemed very dated.

Not difficult though is it? Nearly every review of Series 11 I've seen on YT has absolutely hated it!

People who do YouTube reviews of geeky subjects do tend to be a bit... idiosyncratic.

I don't "hate" it. However I don't like to watch something I love suffer in such pain, so I have stopped.

(Compare and contrast with the "I've watched every single episode of Top Gear all the way through and every minute was rubbish" thread.)

I will continue to hang around this thread in the hope that the show recovers though.
...yyeeaaaahhhhh...I still have a micron of hope that Who will grow up one day (though I would prefer a wholly new programme I guess) , more of a forlorn micron though....but, it exists.

Whereas respected long term Doctor Who fan and reviewer Michael from the Tin Dog Podcast likes the new series. Hmmm, random youtube bloke (*1) versus long time reviewer of all things Doctor Who (over 800 episodes...).

(*1) and we all know that Youtube reviewers ramp up the hyperbole for the views and monetisation.

I liked that episode. I was expecting one of the usual evil droids/droids turn sentient/evil manager turning humans into droids plot get outs but it neatly avoided those.

Also had a few nods to previous who episodes and a tip of the hat to Terry Pratchett's thief of time which I felt was a nice touch. It actually felt like Who and not Quantum Leap!

As you know I have a major following within the fan fiction whoniverse .
There is considerable unease on the Level 4 writers board forum (level 4 you are invited to apply to join you don't ask to join).
In particular many fellow writers are finding it hard to involve so many companions. I was particularly struck by this when EC Throbber - one of the most highly regarded writers said he had decided to concentrate writing about the tenth Doctors incarnation.
His comments about "this bloody woman on speed" were quite shocking.

Do you get a badge? Or at least a certificate. Maybe some insignia and a hat?

Not a badge. It's more the recognition of your efforts. A few years ago Mrs Winstanley did knit a very good copy of Tom Bakers scarf and it was offered as a prize.
