There are enough reasonable stories - Judoon, Tesla, to go with a good story - Spyfall I & II- and a standout - Villa Diodati - that i could watch again. Season 11 is the only one i haven't bought and never will. |

The diehards of doom! Why Doctor Who is the show fans love to hate | The Guardian "...If Doctor Who seems like a show that has been disappointing its devotees for 56 years and counting, perhaps that is to be expected. After all, no other TV series in history has shown such a wilful disregard for anything approaching a house style, happily pressing the re-set button every week and leaping between planets and time zones, comedy and tragedy, psychodrama and space opera. Besides, it can be healthy to mock the things we love. Half the fun of being a Doctor Who fan is celebrating those moments where the show falls short of its vaulting overambition. Which, when you’re trying to map an entire universe of wonders and terrors on a BBC budget, is often. (This is the show, lest we forget, that once staged a Concorde hijack in BBC Television Centre.) Case in point: in 1986, two of Doctor Who’s writers were subjected to a handbagging from a group of “diehard fans” on BBC feedback show Open Air. Among them was a teenager who offered a quietly devastating critique of the “cliched” scripts full of “running up and down corridors and silly monsters”. His name? Chris Chibnall...."

...A bit like the credibility of people who moan about something they don't watch.

I saw Boom Town again last night for the first time in over a decade. For an episode that's generally thought of as lower echelon Who the writing was superb, with outstanding interplay between the Doctor, Rose, Jack, Mickey and Margaret Slitheen. It was actually a joy to watch and makes the writing of the Chibnall era stand out for it's awful clunkiness. |
