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?

  • I don't like Doctor Who, male or female. I always found the show confusing and to be honest the sounds like the tardis make my ears feel weird, due to sensory issues. I've never liked the series, I did check out the new Doctor though and managed five minutes. I can't watch the show because of all the weird sounds, it's so loud. Disney I'm ok with because the sounds can be gentle but an episode of Doctor Who is really uncomfortable for me.
