I can’t stand it now.
Why meddle with things so much that the whole who-inverse is ruined

Time to do away with it in its current form.
Quite outrageous that all who watch a tv have to pay an expensive yearly subscription to a tv service that many rarely if ever watch.

You don’t - I cancelled my license a month ago and don’t miss it one bit.
Actually had a good laugh when I got a letter this morning telling me undercover operatives were going to attend my street to double check I’m not watching live TV

Yes , there's a lot of merit in what you say but however Dr Who has been going downhill for some time now . The rot started to set in just after Matt Smith left . With Capaldi the storylines became quite poor so I stopped watching it . I've hardly watched it since . I caught a glimpse of the last Christmas special and thought it looked rubbish . I'm not surprised to hear the show is now badly strugglingDunners wrote: ↑Tue May 14, 2024 2:38 pm If kids like it, then that's all that matters really. As I said, the only reason I ever watched it was because it was something I could watch with my kids when they were younger. I never actually watched it myself when I was a kid.
The people banging on about Dr Who being ruined by woke do not watch it anyway. So they're no loss. As RTW said, all shows are losing viewers, but mainly because people simply do not watch television like they used to.

I totally agree . My wife watches Strictly Come Dancing but apart from that we hardly watch BBC anymore .Sid Bishop wrote: ↑Fri Aug 16, 2024 10:51 amThe BBC lost the plot years ago.gshaw wrote: ↑Fri Aug 16, 2024 9:48 am https://www.radiotimes.com/tv/sci-fi/do ... ewsupdate/

There's nothing I despise more than a story related using the song format. I believe they are called Musicals and if that is what Who has become then I fully expect the fearsome Ice Warriors to be ragin' and to rise up.gshaw wrote: ↑Fri Aug 16, 2024 9:48 am https://www.radiotimes.com/tv/sci-fi/do ... ewsupdate/

Even if the story through song is about workers uniting to resist their exploitation from the capitalist elite, a la Hadestown?Max B Gold wrote: ↑Fri Aug 16, 2024 5:03 pmThere's nothing I despise more than a story related using the song format.

It would be far more interesting to have Jon Pertwee's Worzel Gummidge resurrected as the next Dr Who with Aunt Sally as his traveling companion on his journey through time and space !Max B Gold wrote: ↑Fri Aug 16, 2024 6:13 pmI'm afraid so.
