Doctor Who

I have loved Doctor Who.  The old episodes and the newish ones. 

But I am not a fan of the new series. I have no problem, NO problem with a female Doctor. But the new series is not great. The Rosa Parks and Partition episodes were ok.

Weirdly, if you take the sci-fi out if those episodes and with a little tinkering, they would have been VERY FINE stand alone dramas.

However, it’s all a bit bland.  Is it the writing? Is it too much change? Should we have had more familiar aliens ie Daleks etc to ground the new Doctor in? More peril? Is it too real? Too educational l (one episode the phrase “remember you NVQ Pensive), too many companions? One surely is enough.

At the moment from episode 1, it has lost around 3 million viewers. 

So what do you like? What do you dislike? What could be done better?

  • Im not too sure about this series either. I like Jodie as the doctor (though not as much as David tennant who'll always be my favourite) and some of the episodes have been good, i liked the spiders, pting and kerblam. I think theres a new writer or producer isnt there. It seems to have all got a bit too educational. The rosa and partition episodes were good dramas but not really dr who for me. 

    I need some daleks or cybermen i think!

    Actually if it wasnt quite so destructive i think id like a pting... probably harder to feed than a dog though?
