    I gave in some time back.

    The holiday specials were good, I quite liked the war doctor one but it just got to be too much stuff and felt like a little too much pandering for me.

    I grew up with Tom Baker too, so we had a board game and I can remember my cousin had some question mark lapel pins. People would try and make the K9 dog but I don't know it just feels like there came a point of jumping the shark with it as regeneration became a forever thing.

    I'm not hating it... The Musical Epsiode was pretty fun. I need a few more episodes before I start worrying about it too much.

    It's been disappointing since they moved away from David Tennant and Matt Smith.

    Yes, but only in the sense that we no longer receive it here without a streaming service that I do not have.

    I was looking forward to seeing David Tennant again. ;)

    The previous seasons, which I did receive, were also disappointing. They
    made a big deal of having a female doctor and even, IMHO, picked a decent actress but the scripts for most of the episodes were rubish. Plus they
    went through and retconned a bunch of stuff that had happened during the
    tenure of previous doctors and writers. I would like to have seen what
    she could have done with the character if some of the previous staff, and
    not Chinball, had been involved.

    Is it even worse than the 13th doctor seasons?

    Of the revival series, those have been my two favorite doctors, but I
    also liked 12 once they got passed the first couple of episodes. His
    stories did seem a lot darker, overall, than those of Tennant or Smith.

    13 is where they started to lose me but, as I said in a previous post, I suspect that had a lot more to do with who was in charge and not to do
    with the actress who played 13. That cast didn't have much to work with
    when it came to stories. They might start out with what seemed like a
    good story but then they'd spend too much time on some subplot and rush
    the ending to conclusion.

    It's been diminishing returns for me. I loved David Tennant, but thought
    the writing was lackluster. Loved the writing for Matt Smith, but DT was
    still the Doctor to me. Peter Capaldi, it wasn't until later that I
    started appreciating his portrayals. I only watched one of the Jodie
    Whittaker episodes, and haven't watched any of the new season. I guess
    I'm done.

    My favorite has switched from DT and Rose Tyler to MS, Amy and Rory.




    ... It is quite possible (after all)

    Nick

    I have not watched much Dr Who but did tune in to the first episode of the 'new' doctor a week or so back watching it on Disney+

    It didn't do much for me but then again it's been years since Tom Baker :)
