The BBC should really make a few good seasons of Dr Who before doing a spin off show (lemm.ee)

The last couple seasons of Dr Who have been, let's be honest, not great. Other than the specials with David Tenant it's been a long time since it's been a good show. A spin off will not help. Make one good show first.

The 3rd season of Matt Smith started with a massive, expensive orgy of CGI.

The season before had some foreboding, they were clearly trying to pander more to Americans, but s3 was when they completely fell off the plot.

Tennant was generally great with a few weak episodes, but after that everything just had this smear of 'well it's expensive to produce , so the writing must be good!'

I only watched a couple of seasons of the reboot, I think the first doctor and a little bit of David Tennant, but I loved how lo-fi the show was. The lack heavy cgi and intentionally amateur special effects told me this was a fun show that didn't take itself seriously. Disappointed to learn they're going heavy on cgi
