Tennant was great as the villain in ‘Jessica Jones’
BBC seemed to go out of its way recently to make the writing and acting as unpalatable and uninspiring as possible.
For example, the Belgian show, “Prof. T”, is a well-written and acted show, with serious topics, but also humor, and all the characters are engrossing, if quirky.
The BBC version is preachy, dull, and unwatchable after just a few minutes. And yet, BBC still charges for a TV license.
Thou hast conquered, O pale woketard; the world has grown grey from thy breath.
My girlfriend back in the Tom Baker era was a big fan. I watched it with her and found it interesting, but haven’t seen it since. One of my sons has been a fan of the show more recently, but I can tell he hasn’t been thrilled about how it has turned out.
>>Don’t blink.
It was a good episode.<<
Many think it is one of if not the best Dr. Who episode ever.
EVERY true fan of Dr. Who KNEW that re-casting him as a female was the death knell. So glad that the 007 franchise did not bow to the “wokesters”. They should have listened to their REAL fan base and not the “padded pollsters”. Does anybody believe polls any more? This is what you get when you substitute wokism for REALITY.
Maybe they can just call Whittaker’s tenure as a “nightmare” sequence and have him wake up as Capaldi again. I liked him.
great actor but Billy Piper was the glue..
I wished they at Pluto would offer a little more variety of classic Who.
Capaldi was good.
>>Loved Tennant and Capaldi, Smith was OK.<<
whittaker did take care of one problem. Whovians have been arguing for years who was the worst Doctor. That case is now closed.
The best OTOH... LOL.
My husband liked and watched it a lot. He completely lost interest when they made Dr. Who female.
I liked the recent Dr Who series from 2005 to when the bitch became the new Doctor.
A common characteristic of the male Doctors was their humor. They could be silly, eccentric, stupid, and have fun. Matt Smith was a classic awkward nerd.
Unfortunately, a woman today CANNOT be portrayed as anything but hyper competent. It made things boring, and I stopped watching after the second woman-Doctor episode.

The first female doctor was back in the 80s
And yes I saw it back then
Something like that or ‘the REAL doctor was kidnapped and held while this imposter was running amok across the galaxy’. Anything to erase this last sequence.
I can see it now: David Tennant’s 10th Doctor finally wakes up from the bad dream associated with the Master’s fob watch of the redhead obsessed 11th Doctor, the sad old guitar playing 12th Doctor, and the Jodie Whitaker 13th Doctor. He shakes himself off, picks a new companion and goes back to regularly scheduled programming.
If David Tennant is unavailable, there is always Kris Marshall, Ben Miller, Dylan Moran, and no doubt oodles more possibilities. Maybe someone from the Potter series.
Yep, Peter Capaldi was horrible as well.
So reboot to when it was more or less still good.
My wife and I watched it until Jenna Coleman left her companion role. Her replacement was unwatchable.
To be honest, they should remove all the episodes after Jenna left from the canon...
I liked Christopher Eccleston, to bad he only lasted one season. I gave up after Capaldi.
David Tennant wakes up, blinks, and says to himself “What an AWFUL dream!”
1 and done, he quit.
I see several of us have had the same idea!
