    Billie Piper is the new Doctor Who according to BBC and Russell T. Davies
    after the Ncuti Gatwa Era ended horribly. I can't believe it's real. This is terrible sci-fi.

    It's a shame. I was really hoping for Madonna to get the role.

    I suspect that they might do a Romana type regeneration, where she
    gets several tries at different bodies before settling on the actual actor/actress who is eventually cast.

    Hope you are correct.

    Still RTD must go!

    But that ended really badly

    How so? It was what it was.

    I liked Romana (both forms), but it was getting to point that she and The Doctor were walking in circles around everyone.

    Hopefully Rose is a placeholder.

    From what I heard, it was a stunt to convince Disney to pay for another
    season ("Look at the ratings! People want to see another season!").

    Yes, Lalla Ward before playing Romana II in S17 was Princess

    I suspect that they might do a Romana type regeneration, where she
    gets several tries at different bodies before settling on the actual
    actor/actress who is eventually cast.

    Wasn't Romana's final form in a previous ep (but not Romana, obviously)?


    Yes

    Yes, Lalla Ward before playing Romana II in S17 was Princess
    Astra in "The Armageddon Factor". (The last episode of the
    previous season.)

    I wonder if Princess Astra was an influence for Romana's fional form?
    I noticed that Colin Baker appeared in an ep during Peter Davidson's
    run as The Doctor. That could have been an interesting thing to explore.

    And David Tennant took a minor role in an animated DW because he

    It was a deliberate choice made by Romana to look like Princess

    "Destiny of the Daleks".

    Bad is relative. I'm 60 this year, nothing is like it was
    when I was 10... <shrugs> that's just the way it is. Does
    that make it bad, or is it just not what suits my entertainment
    preferences now?

    "Coronation Street" is probably the only [other] major show on
    UK television still being aired from when I was ten. I wonder,
    do their fans still watch every week and bemoan the fact that
    the Rovers Return ain't what it used to be - as there's too much
    non-alcoholic beer on sale, or the show should be cancelled as
    there's Asians running the corner shop, or claim the show
    finished when Hilda Ogden left, and are there people out there
    that want to see Deirdre Barlow shagging Mike Baldwin retconned?

    Yeah, don't like it... just switch it off and live your life...
    it's only a TV show at the end of the day. Things change. That's
    life.

    Yes. Peter Capaldi played a Home Office bod in Torchwood who's

    You've probably heard of the webcast, you just probably didn't

    It was a deliberate choice made by Romana to look like Princess

    "Destiny of the Daleks".

    Yes.

    Colin Baker was a chancellery guard on Gallifrey in "Arc

    And shows up later as the Doctor.

    A shocking revelation there Dave!

    David Tennant and Billie Piper together in an episode of
    "Doctor Who" again... how novel.

    Or, rather .....

    David Tennant and Billie Piper together in an episode of

    Well, you'll only get to see it if you get that smart TV
    you were on about...

    Good point.

    Why haven't I heard about this before now?

    You've probably heard of the webcast, you just probably didn't
    realise that David Tennant was in it... he was uncredited at
    the time.

    You've probably heard of the webcast, you just probably didn't
    realise that David Tennant was in it... he was uncredited at
    the time.

    Tennant also played the Doctor in the animated shows / mini-series:

    - "The Infinite Quest", along with Freema Agyeman's Martha Jones.
    - "Dreamland", with his now-wife Georgia Moffett playing the
    companion Cassie Rice.


    A proper animated Doctor Who TV series has been proposed a few times,
    but never reached the point of actually being made:

    - "The 'New' Doctor Who" (Nelvana Limited in 1971)
    - "Doctor Who: The Animated Series" (Karen McCoy in 1997)
    - "Doctor Who - The Animated Series" (I.N.J. Culbard in 2002)
    - "Dcotor Who the Animated Series" (Dan Norton in 2010 - 2013) <https://tardis.fandom.com/wiki/Doctor_Who:_The_Animated_Series_(disambiguation)>


    Probably others as well. Plus of course the animated versions of "lost" episodes and various computer games.

    Yes! Or is it noble not novel?

    I think I would prefer the term, unexciting.

    Uninspiring might also do.

    parts? More like a large part.

    Well... if the alternative is "Doctor Who" being cancelled, I
    want to see another season, regardless of the ratings.

    I'd rather have no Doctor Who than bad Doctor Who.

    parts? More like a large part.

    Is "a large part" not "a part"??

    I suspect that they might do a Romana type regeneration,
    where she gets several tries at different bodies before
    settling on the actual actor/actress who is eventually cast.

    Wasn't Romana's final form in a previous ep (but not Romana,
    obviously)?

    Yes, Lalla Ward before playing Romana II in S17 was Princess
    Astra in "The Armageddon Factor". (The last episode of the
    previous season.)

    Bad is relative. I'm 60 this year, nothing is like it was

    that make it bad, or is it just not what suits my entertainment

    "Coronation Street" is probably the only [other] major show on

    the Rovers Return ain't what it used to be - as there's too much >non-alcoholic beer on sale, or the show should be cancelled as
    there's Asians running the corner shop, or claim the show
    finished when Hilda Ogden left, and are there people out there
    that want to see Deirdre Barlow shagging Mike Baldwin retconned?

    Yeah, don't like it... just switch it off and live your life...
    it's only a TV show at the end of the day. Things change. That's
    life.

    I agree, those people who think it's bad, should stop
    watching it.

    I can't understand why people would continue watching
    something they didn't like anyway... I mean, if you don't
    like Pork you don't sit down for dinner and eat it anyway do
    you?

    Weeelllll .... I hate Fish!! One Friday evening, maybe thirty
    years ago, I was visiting my eldest Sisters place for Dinner.
    My sister KNEW I hated Fish. My sister served up Fish! I ate
    Fish!!

    Clearly you didn't hate it enough... a bit like the people who
    claim to hate "Doctor Who" yet watch it every single week!!!

    No! No! No! I'm sure my sister set me up .... and my (caring) Nieces and
    Nephew remind me of that night regularly!!

    I mean, I couldn't set a bad example for my young Nieces and
    Nephew, could I??

    I'm sure my sister served the Fish on purpose!!

    You're the bigger fool for eating something you claimed not to
    like! You should have taken a bite then spat it out all over the
    table... I guarantee your sister wouldn't serve you fish again!

    Your nieces and nephews would also think they had a cool Uncle.

    I don't think the BBC will cancel it altogether, but it
    might go on a bit of a break.

    The grumps will be fine though, they'll just find another
    show to watch and moan about every week... leopards don't
    change their spots.

    RTD, the Head oof BBC Drama and the BBC1 controll should all
    be sacked for this disaster.

    But the grumps (and grunmps) will still be online, on YouTube,
    Reddit (etc.) moaning about some other franchise... they are
    not going to retire and hang up their grumpyness.


    I can name 3 , but let us see what a new showrunner can do.

    As for the money Disney owns Bad Wolf, well ...

    Bad is relative. I'm 60 this year, nothing is like it was
    when I was 10... <shrugs> that's just the way it is. Does
    that make it bad, or is it just not what suits my entertainment
    preferences now?

    "Coronation Street" is probably the only [other] major show on
    UK television still being aired from when I was ten. I wonder,
    do their fans still watch every week and bemoan the fact that
    the Rovers Return ain't what it used to be - as there's too much non-alcoholic beer on sale, or the show should be cancelled as
    there's Asians running the corner shop, or claim the show
    finished when Hilda Ogden left, and are there people out there
    that want to see Deirdre Barlow shagging Mike Baldwin retconned?

    Many of the older fans of Coronation Street do complain about the awful
    new storylines, horrible characters, etc. and some of them have stopped watching it. The show has changed over the years, but it has been a
    slow change as old characters leave and new characters are added. (The
    actor William Roache was in the very first episode and is still in it
    today, holding the world record for the actor playing the same role for
    the longest time.)

    The TV Guide here in New Zealand often has fan complaint letters about Coronation Street, but mainly it is due to the fact that the network
    used to keep moving the show's timeslot, bumping the show completely,
    and/or scheduling it too late for the oldies and workers to watch and
    the re-run at lunchtime being no good for those working.



    Yeah, don't like it... just switch it off and live your life...
    it's only a TV show at the end of the day. Things change. That's
    life.

    Weeelllll .... I hate Fish!! One Friday evening, maybe thirty years ago, >>> I was visiting my eldest Sisters place for Dinner. My sister KNEW I

    I mean, I couldn't set a bad example for my young Nieces and Nephew,

    I'm sure my sister served the Fish on purpose!!

    But was it fish fingers with custard? That's the way a true Doctor Who

    No, No, Real fish, not even Flake!!

    I wouldn't get upset over a television show though, but there's
    nothing wrong with being opinionated about it - even if that
    can't actually change anything. Wanting one of your favourite TV
    shows to be better than it is is reasonably normal... In the
    case of "Doctor Who", which has been around since the 1960's,
    it's probably just a case of some fans outgrowing the show, in
    which case they are better off just not watching it.

    I'd rather have no Doctor Who than bad Doctor Who.

    The simplest alternative is to avoid watching a television
    program that has deteriorated in quality to the stage where
    it is deemed "bad" by parts of its fandom.

    I agree, those people who think it's bad, should stop
    watching it. I, for one, will continue watching, and mostly
    enjoying, it, assuming these grumps haven't gotten it
    canceled.

    A few years ago, I might have been upset or opinionated about
    this or had some kind of a reaction. Now, it just makes me
    scratch my head and go on with my day only to forget it in
    about 20 minutes.

    Plenty of us have been scratching our heads over it of late! ;-)

    I wouldn't get upset over a television show though, but there's
    nothing wrong with being opinionated about it - even if that
    can't actually change anything. Wanting one of your favourite TV
    shows to be better than it is is reasonably normal... In the
    case of "Doctor Who", which has been around since the 1960's,
    it's probably just a case of some fans outgrowing the show, in
    which case they are better off just not watching it.
