I mean it's probably the most fanwank episode for a good 5 years, I liked it but there's a few things I'm not keen on. The whole Gallifrey things a bit 'and the next showrunner will rescue it....'. and the Doctor coming from another dimension is just 'really?' ... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ladyfiona 2,592 Posted March 1, 2020 Doctor having past lives goes back to the 1970's to The Brain of Morbius where it was revealed Doctor had 8 previous regenerations. Not that i've seen that episode but i'm doing my research now based on what Twitter and Gallifrey Base are saying. I liked the episode though needs another watch because a lot happened.

YoungWillz 21,062 Posted March 3, 2020 Possibly the best thing about this Who has ended. Bradley Walsh reportedly leaves: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-8067741/Doctor-star-Bradley-Walsh-QUITS-role-BBC-sci-fi-two-series.html Toison Cole gone too.

ladyfiona 2,592 Posted March 4, 2020 Most companions in new Who only go for 2 series, only ones who I can think of who lasted longer was Clara, Amy and Rory. I'm glad there is only at least one companion now because three was too many to build strong character development and Yaz is a fan favourite anyway. Bradley Walsh was just there as a token comedic character. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bibliogryphon 9,588 Posted March 8, 2020 If any of the Who fans on here are also on Twitter Check out #DoctorWhoRankings A series of polls to rank all the TV series in order by doing head to head polls Everyone can guess that Genesis of the Daleks, Caves of Androzani and Blink will be near to top but what about those middling adventures is Nightmare of Eden better than Gridlock? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Deathray 2,941 Posted March 9, 2020 Thhe +7 BARB rating for The Timeless Children is 4.69m.... The worst in the New Series history for any episode, let alone a finale.... Surely writing is on the wall for Chibnall. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Looking at Wikipedia those are the same ratings roughly for Peter Capaldi's last run. I really think Doctor Who should go back to being on Saturday nights.

It went to being on Sunday night due to achieving low ratings on a Saturday night. It needs to faff off with the canon, fan wanking stuff and go back to being a good old adventure story 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There have only been three incarnations that made me turn the channel over and that was McCoy, Matt Smith and now Jodie. I was quite excited at the idea of her taking over, she is a good actress, we may have seen a greater depth to the character but, unfortunately, we had to be educated on our shortcomings, our racism, our sexism and any other 'ism' the writers could throw at the audience. I just wanted to be entertained, I wanted to empathise, I wanted to smile and frown and just enjoy the sodding show. If this new series is like the old then it will be the end of the road for the Doctor and the series. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
