THE DOCTOR'S REST: A POEM
The TARDIS hums its weary tune,
A world of stars, a sky of moon.
But inside, a heart begins to slow,
The time has come to let it go.
The Doctor, always chasing fate,
Through endless years and worlds that wait,
A life of battles, foes to fight,
Yet none so strong as endless night.
The universe calls, but just this once,
The Doctor sighs, it's just too much.
"Let me rest, just for a while,
No more running, no more miles."
The sonic's quiet, the endless chase,
Paused in time, in this sacred space.
For though the stars may always gleam,
The Doctor needs a break from dreams.
So the TARDIS stands in stillness deep,
A quiet rest, the Doctor’s sleep.
No whirr, no hum, no call to fight,
Just endless stars, a calm soft night.
One last breath, a moment’s peace,
A silent wish for time's release.
To not return, to let it be,
The Doctor for once, is finally free.
What Doctor Who needs is to be run by someone who knows what "Doctor
Who" really is meant to be *AND* to stop trying to appease the
Politically Correct whiners and quota box-tickers. Unfortunately, it's
far too late and probably best to put the show out of its misery. :-\
Mark Gatiss: "Maybe it's time for Doctor Who to have another rest"
------------------------------------------------------------------
Former Doctor Who writer, Mark Gatiss, has suggested it might be
the right time for the programme to have "another rest", just as
it did between 1989 and 2005 (with a brief resurgence in 1996).
Gatiss has written numerous episodes of the show, including
The Unquiet Dead, The Idiot's Lantern, and Cold War, and, when
asked what he thinks of the current state of the franchise, he
replied:
"It's been back for 20 years, which is an awfully long
time. Almost as long as its original run. That's pretty
spectacular. So maybe it's time for another rest. I really
don't know. I only know that I still love the show with
all my heart."
And it does look like the show is having a rest - certainly there's
no news from the BBC or Disney+, the former apparently waiting for
the latter to decide whether to recommission it or not. "Or not" is
reportedly the likeliest outcome, which means that the BBC might be
in search for a new streaming partner... although the BBC could fund
it itself without another company involved - it just doesn't seem
to want to.
Even showrunner, Russell T Davies, has admitted that the series is
"on pause".

I'm pretty sure it's an AI. You can tell because it misses the point.
The Doctor isn't tired, as the AI assumed. He's covering his face in
shame and needs time to live it down. :\
There's also some nonsense like "the sky is moon," which sounds like a

That is never going to happen. The Timeless Child monster rewriting the
Doctor's origin story has disenfranchised the majority of fans, and
Ncuti Gatwa has killed off the entire franchise so there is no one left
to call for the series to return or write it as there was after it was
cancelled in 1989.
Hey, it could still happen! When they revived Roseanne, they ignored the >ridiculous last years. A DW revival could ignore the ridiculous last
Doctors.
Whittaker, Gatwa and the infantile writing with everything revolving
around puerile magic, feelings, sentiment, and emotion targeted at 12
year old girls of very low intelligence,
That sounds about right. As well as being overly sexed up, it also
somehow manages to be childish. It's a family show at its core, but
families include teenagers and parents. It shouldn't be *just* for
people whose minds aren't fully developed.
Don't forget that this critique is coming from someone currently
marathoning My Little Pony. :\

If you don't know, that's scary! (It also means you wasn't
paying attention two weeks ago.)
But on a more serious note (Maybe not for us at our age, but the
children of today.) what will the future bring when people are
presented with things to consume that will be created 100% by AI
and they won't know the difference? As AI technology improves
year on year (ChatGpt launched "Agent" this week, which is
another step forward.) the whole world around us is going to
become 'fake'.
The lines between what's real and not real are going to become
blurred... and nobody will know the difference.
Maybe one day an AI/LLM bot will even be able to have a proper
discussion on Usenet? A lot of customer services departments are
using them... which at the moment often send you round and round
in circles, but I reckon a LLM bot will easily match the output
of some people here on RADW, so it's only a matter of time.

Technically, it hasn't gone anywhere yet... we've not long

at x-mas with no special and in 2026 with no new season to be
aired that we'll miss it.
By then there will probably be some official news of what is

Former Doctor Who writer, Mark Gatiss, has suggested it might be
the right time for the programme to have "another rest", just as
it did between 1989 and 2005 (with a brief resurgence in 1996).
What Doctor Who needs is to be run by someone who knows what "Doctor >>>>> Who" really is meant to be *AND* to stop trying to appease the

Any time somebody from Doctor Who opens their mouth these days,

such bollocks.

The copyright laws would need to be changed to enable AI to operate
freely without oppression from copyright owners.
I suggest that AI is banned from being trained on copyrighted material
for one year after publication. In return, after a year of publication
all copyright expires on everything retrospectively and AI can use all >intellectual property for its training. This will also allow anyone to
make Doctor Who and market-forces will decide which version of Doctor
Who succeeds and which does not.
After all I don't pay an electrician £150 to do some wiring and then
every time I turn on a light or switch on an appliance have to pay him a >royalty of £15 for the rest of his life plus 70 years in order to do
this. The writers should only be paid once and that's all the get for
the rest of their lives, same as electricians and plumbers, and
plasterers, and builders, and mechanics, accountants, etc. Same applies
to musicians, actors, and everyone.
Trademarks should also be banned unless it's your own legal name and
people with the same name should have to add a number or letter to it to >distinguish themselves from someone with the same name.
In C. W. Gregg’s Grocers only C. W. Gregg's could be trademarked if
Gregg is on a valid birth certificate. The word Grocers or any other
word would not.
In return for this, like I said, AI will have to wait a year after >publication before it can train itself on newly published material.
Now doesn't that sound fair?

And he said at age 32 he was old:
"I'm Getting Old. My Body Was Tired". Talking to the BBC's
Sunday With Laura Kuenssberg show, Gatwa said that being
the Time Lord was simply too exhausting.
The reality is he simply wanted a big name on his CV to boost his
chances of getting other big work ... just like Quitopher Etchedinstone
did, and it didn't really do much for his 'career' either since he's
still a two-bit actor taking at best mostly secondary character roles.

What people *say* about anything is rarely the actual reason / truth. :-)
For example, there are numerous times where one business buys up
another one, claiming the purchased company's products will not be
ended ... only for those exact products to be ended six months later.
A more on topic example is RTD and the BBC saying "Doctor Who" TV show
is not finished, yet every sign is pointing more and more to the
reality that it actually is finished (at least for now).

Technically it is a correct word ... if you lived over 525 years ago or
live in a very rural area. :-)
"'Hiself' or 'hisself' was used in Middle English
(before the year 1500, more or less). It is still
heard in some dialects, and you might encounter
it in books."
"'Hiself' is a common misspelling. The correct term
is 'Himself,' used to refer to a male subject
previously mentioned."
