Yes, I did but after season a 11 Tom Baker taking a dump on a frog would be good entertainment compared to it. Really enjoyed remembrance but not too keen on happiness patrol.

The Happiness Patrol was one i disliked upon first viewing, although that was when it originally aired and was in my mid teens at the time.

Over the years and with subsequent viewings i wouldn't say it had become a firm favourite but it has certainly improved no end. In fact when i last watched it i'd have scored it 8/10. As you say - Head and shoulders above this seasons stories. The only one of which i'd like to watch again at some point would be The Witchfinders, maybe Arachnids as well. I certainly won't be getting the box set.

I still haven't seen the Series finale. As of a year ago that would have been unheard of (Doctor Falls was amazing and I was ecstatic the whole week beforehand) but I really don't care right now. I'm halfway through Warriors of the Deep and that's much better.

On a sidenote I saw a couple of Twitter polls conducted by a fan who is very anti Series 11. Results unsurprising. A lot of people want Jodie to stay but Chibnall to go.

I didn't want Jodie in the first place but she has shown she could work given correct material. I attach 100% of the blame to Chibnall for the quality of this Series. I'd happily accept a compromise where he goes and she stays, hopefully to be given proper material to work with.

What's Philip Hinchcliffe doing these days? Can't they bring him back for a Series or two to fix the Show?

He's too old sadly. I think that's why Terence Dicks won't write a story either. Don't need the hassle. I think both RT-D and Moff asked him to write a story.

Is there a reason Rt-D won't come back? After season 11 pretty much anyone would be better choice than Chibnall.

My post was about Terence Dicks not returning not RT-D.

However to answer your question he has said he has no intention of writing again as he doesn't want to get in the way basically.

What i read it as is he'll write a far better story than the show runner and fans would be demanding his return.

Must admit i think i could write a better plot outline than anything we've seen recently.

They should get the people from Big Finish to do the tv stuff. They still produce what i would call classic Doctor Who style stories by the bucketload.

Yep Big finish is superior to most of the story's of nu who, really know Doctor Who.

Have you listened to a lot?

Wondered if you could recommend any.

I tend to go for ones with classic monsters like Daleks and Cybermen other than that i'm a bit in the dark.
