lol. Not even the most unhinged Moffat haters from Tumblr tried to write a petition to get Moffat arrested. As for the show I’m not surprised it went this way after they broke the “Bring Tennant back” emergency glass and then smashed the “bring Piper back” emergency glass. I remember people used to joke and meme back in the day that the Doctor would eventually regenerate back into Tennant or Rose would become the Doctor. If only it stayed a meme.
 
At this point just have Paull McGann wake up in the TARDIS and say "Oh, what a horrible dream, so glad that Time War didn't really happen and Timelords can't change gener or race!".

Then give him a three season contract and let him play the Doctor in a series that produces 26 half hour episodes a year.
 
I watched the Eccleston and Tennant seasons in high school, I had no idea of the history of the show it was on Sci Fi and me and my girlfriend both enjoyed it. It is amazing that they can take a show that I had no idea had a history, make it one of my favorite shows and then completely fucking lose me in the course of 20 years.

I watched Ecccleston, Tennant, and Matt Smith when I was in college. And some of Hartnell and Troughton as well. Sucks to see everything that happened after Moffat left (also, I'd say that Moffat may be the British George Lucas in that he seems to really go off the rails when he doesn't have someone to tell him no, from what folks have said about him). Eccleston was awesome and became my favorite in just one season.

I don't know how you fix things at this point without a complete reboot. Either that or you go the multiverse root and start with a completely different First Doctor.
RTD figured it out back in 2005; it's pretty easy. The only problem now is that you may not have the same boost of whatever Gen X had in their fandom or the SuperWhoLock crowd from Tumblr's golden age. I always say: come back in 15-20 years.
 
still wonder if there was a single iota of thought put into piper returning beyond nostalgia bait. I know Nigger man quit at the last minute so they needed to throw in something but man is it nonsense.
I doubt it, especially since it just ends with her appearance. If anything , you could use the scene to hand wave what happened before the new Doctor, like how Eccleston had the Time War.

Heaven Sent is one of my favorite episodes of NuWho.
For me it’s “The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances.” That and “Dalek”.
Dalek is my personal favorite of his, the Doctor genuinely losing his shit at the sight of his old enemy and the Dalek killing itself once it realized it was no longer a pure Dalek was just masterful and perfectly encapsulated each side of the Time War.
“You would make a good Dalek.”

That one line: amazing.

It really is shameful that RTD couldn't rein it in. Not even in a "no gay characters" or "the Doctor can't be black" way, because Captain Jack was a fun companion and Paterson Joseph would've been a solid Doctor. Doctor Who is just a bad fit for heavy handed, Current Thing soapboxing. You should have plenty of opportunities to write coherent political episodes; half of them feature some kind of armed conflict between different races and you have all of time and space to play with!

I didn't watch The War Between the Land and the Sea. It didn't look as cheap as recent Who but apparently couldn't decide its message and the final scene was a meme. Years and Years was hit and miss but at least had some tension and suitable speculative dystopia stuff in it ("Mum, dad; I'm trans." "We love you, it's OK to have these feelings about your gender--" "No, I'm transhuman.")

I accidentally watched the first two episodes of his new drama Tip Toe which is predictably bad, but at least it's a drama about a clueless, vapid, aging, middle class gay guy written by someone who knows what that's like. It makes sense on its own terms as a piece of television. The dialogue in Doctor Who became even more gay and stilted than in a drama about gay people!

If you've seen the trailers you've basically seen the programme but for our American friends: Alan Cumming plays Alan Cumming, owns a gay bar in Manchester, his next door neighbour played by David Morrissey (the guy in snowy Victorian London who thought he was the Doctor in that Christmas special) is a chud electrician who doesn't know his son is gay, tensions between the MMIWG2SLGBTQQIA++ community and modern British society are explored. I haven't watched further but at the start of episode two it skips ahead to what is presumably the end of the story and someone, presumably Cumming, has been hanged from a lamppost outside his house. I profusely apologise to RTD if it turns out he's been hanged by anyone other than a straight, white, British man.

I was surprised RTD was based enough to write a scene where a troon is being violently intimidated by his burly Polish roommates or neighbours, only to threaten them in return with a baseball bat, before a fat black lesbian shoots an air gun at them.

Cumming finds out the chud's son is gay when they see each other on a Grindr-esque app. The son initially blocks him but then they start messaging and Cumming says he can connect him with the young people he works with because he's got no gay friends. There's a weird bit where everyone is shown on their phones or computers: Cumming is wanking over gay porn, the chud's wife is wanking over 50 Shades-style erotica, the chud's gay son is wanking over gay porn, the chud's straight son is stripping online for cash and the chud may as well be scrolling the "post videos of people dying" thread on KiwiFarms.

There's a jaded old queen kind of character, not a troon but a gay guy who goes round in make-up. He's crotchety and complains about how the young generation don't get how drag's meant to be a protest. There are lines about how TERFs (can't remember whether they actually use that word) aren't just online bots, they're real women and they're right to be angry (it isn't explained why they are right to be angry) and that Cumming is accused of having "castrated children" working at the bar he runs because he employs trans staff (it isn't clarified whether they have indeed been chemically or physically castrated as children.)

It feels like Davies has some understanding of the discourse, but writes a five part drama which is broadcast on national television before he understands it. Shame he couldn't limit this behaviour to his pet project rather than tanking a national treasure.
 
Dalek is my personal favorite of his, the Doctor genuinely losing his shit at the sight of his old enemy and the Dalek killing itself once it realized it was no longer a pure Dalek was just masterful and perfectly encapsulated each side of the Time War.
Dalek was written by Robert Shearman who at the time was best known for his work on the audio dramas for Big Finish (back when they didn't suck ass). Dalek itself is an adaptation of his 6th Doctor story, Jubilee. Other than that, I highly recommend his 8th Doctor story, the Chimes of Midnight.

No idea why he never came back to do more despite having an open invitation. Probably didn't like dealing with the BBC if you know what a nightmare doing Dalek was.
 
I'm kind of glad it sounds like they're wrenching it out of the hands of that tiny incestuous group of repeat offenders. I won't say it can't get worse, but at least maybe Eccleston will show up for a special now they've finally sacked everyone.
Either I'm too thick to figure it out or I missed the edit window, but here's a video for context from a 2023 Panel with Eccleston and Piper:

(Eccleston's rant to fire Davis etc starts at 15:18 if the timestamp doesn't work)
 
I wonder if the Nowak murder and the gory incident in Belfast had a hand in this. Given Britain's immigration optics crisis, I can't help but suspect that the Christmas special was going to be all-in on refugees, diversity, and whatnot. Then, when the attacks happened, there was no fallback story, so it was simply canned to preserve the larger BBC television empire.

In any case, I genuinely liked Capaldi and was astounded when he was cast after Matt Smith's "all the girls lurve the Doctor" run. However, I suspected trouble was afoot when - I think it was in Hell Bent - a Time Lord regenerated into a black Time Lady and spouted that "ego" line. And then Whittaker was cast and the BBC aired those breaking the glass ceiling ads and it was effectively over.

Remember when they retconned Davros into some white able-bodied generic villain because wheelchair users couldn't be bad guys? Or when The Master was recast as a goofy-looking Indian? Or The Timeless Child? Or when the first Doctor wasn't Hartnell, but some rotund black woman?

And on and on it went.

Fans are furious that Amazon nixed a new Stargate series, but I think they dodged a massive bullet. God only knows what they'll do with the Bond IP (though First Light might be an indication).
 
Let me get this straight.

Before the culture war was a thing, before woke was popularized not just by tourist dudebros, but even grifters, before disney's faggotry was completely exposed, you had the chinballs run of doctor who, which people really fucking hated, not because WOMAN, but because it was just poorly fucking written, raped the canon and had the woman Doctor acts completely out of character in multiple fucking times and ways.

Bmall Black Cock's biggest and most popular series is at an historical low, disney gives them a blank check with the expectatuons of making something good, so they hire a washed up, morbidly obese faggot as director, who casts as the doctor a talentless niggerfaggot with his cum still drooling from his mouth, said faggot proceeds to mock legacy fans, say "chinballs did nothing wrong", "the star wars sequel trilogy was actually good" and an actors that worked with him in the past doesn't hesitate to shout "fuck that guy" in front of a crowd.

This trainwreck runs for 2 seasons if pure misery, with the first season alone doing almost more damage to the canon and reputation of the show than the entirety if chris chinballs run, the old faggot hired as director has so little creativity left, that it takes 2 seasons that he makes the Doctor turn into a former companion as le epic clifford hunger.

And in the end, it was all for nothing, Everyone fucking hated it, even and especially the target audience, such as the literal furfag responsable for creating the monster featured in the blowjob slab.

One of the biggest and oldest franchises in television history, turned to an heap of ashes, raped to such an extent that even disney tells Bmall Black Cock to get fucked.

All it needed was to undo chinballs and avoid modern culture war shit, instead it fell for it, casting not just a niggerfaggot witg rtd's cum drooling from his lips as the Doctor, but also a wannabe jim sterling to play itself: a retarded gender blob groomer, like it was some kind of flamboyant villain, specifically to own the chuds and what did it brought? Nothing but mockery.

There's nothing else to say about this, except for...
"Lol. Lmao even."
