I wasn’t a fan of the McCoy era but I did keep watching.
Chibnall’s series was drab, unexciting, preachy, patronising bollocks.

I'm quoting someone from elsewhere when discussing possible new Doctor Who action figures.

I suppose boys want to "play" Doctor Who, holding figures of the Doctor and the Master and pretend they're talking to each other or Captain Jack and a Cyberman fighting.

I can't see boys holding figures of Graham and Ryan whilst pretending they're having a conversation about family bereavement, generational trans-racial male bonding and the de-stigmatisation of dyspraxia, walking around a greasy spoon cafe playset complete with little moulded/painted plates of a fry-up and mugs of builders tea. And given children's attention spans, I doubt many of them remember the other one played by Mandip Gill whose name I've genuinely forgotten (too).

And why no Rosa Parks 3½” figurine with 43:1 scale General Motors TDH 3610 bus in Montgomery livery? Surely kids want to play with that?

Sadly it really does sum up the last series.
