No you didn't. It's absolute horseshit.

Damn, this thread is the most "no one hates Doctor Who more than Doctor Who fans" type beat I've seen in ages. God forbid our favourite television show get another season.

Lol. Yeah. Ncuti had a great season. I don't see what the fuss is about.

Though I'm willing to stand by my earlier stupid joke that everything after Pertwee (1970-1974) is catering to fair weather newbie fans.

If the rumours that DW is going to be put on hiatus for 10 years and the sets taken down and production staff let go I can only say… it’s about time.

The (original) show was never about cartoony, fizzed-up comic action without subtlety or nuance that tried to pick up the audiences of Strictly and Love Island. It didn’t need a budget of $1 million per episode. It didn’t need Disney. Time for a rest and then a regeneration.
