Chaaaching!!
Chibnall is the ENTIRE problem.

Steven Moffat was a writer on Dr Who when Russell Davies got the show revived. He started running the show in the fifth season of the revival. He was responsible for introducing Matt Smith, Karen Gillan, Alex Kingston and the Weeping Angels.

Chibnall had no history or experience with Dr Who so he came in and started to refurbish the house by tearing it apart with his PC/SJW BS.

When I moved I lost the BBC channel that had Dr. Who, but from what I was reading, I was NOT enthused about either a female Dr. Who and her as the character. Seeing the commercials reinforced that opinion. Hopefully they will not to a 300% WOKE new Dr. Who, but I can easily see the next Doctor being an Asian/African transgender midget who prefers animals as its ‘intimate’ partner. And I’ve read that Chinbal is a lousy writer.

I got introduced to Dr. Who back in 1980 when visiting my sister-in-law on leave. Tom Baker was playing Dr. Who then.

If you go online to Plutotv.com, they have a channel which shows all of the original shows with the first 7 Dr. Who’s.

Yep, gay as hell!
Torchwood actually had a pretty good cast, I had no problems there. It was the writing and direction that killed the show. Too bad, a solid show premise destroyed by leftists.

Correct. David Tennet good also...but his story’s sucked. Only good one was the traffic jam episode with face of Bo. Only one that felt classic.

At least Sylvester McCoy can be grateful that he’s no longer the worst Dr. Who.

"My favorite episode with Smith and Gillian was “Vincent and the Doctor.”

Same. I think the actor who played Vincent may have been a northern wildman in "Game of Porns", I mean "Thrones".

Credit to Karen Gillan and Billie Piper for being great with their respective Doctors.

Good companions can make or break a Doctor. Both of those were great in the role.

Sigourney Weaver was great at building suspense and killing aliens. Don’t you think?

Doctor Woke did serious violence to the canon

Precisely. I have not seen a single episode of Female Dr Who because the very idea of gender swapping is repugnant and contradictory to past cannon of the series.

As I have pointed out many times, they had "Time Ladies" as well as Time Lords, Romana being the first example.

Matt Smith was the best Doctor.

Tom Baker.

Tom Baker is my favorite then Matt Smith then David Tennant. I didn’t like Matt Smith much at the beginning of his run but he won me over. I really wish Christopher Eccleston would have gotten more than one season. I thought he was great, too.

I agree with you about Christopher Eccleston. I thought he was a great Dr Who.

I would swap Matt Smith and David Tennant, but yes, Tom Baker was the best.

The Patrick Troughton episodes were often unfortunately victim to the BBC’s policy of wiping videotapes for reuse or chucking film cans to save space, thus many episodes of his and William Hartnell’s were lost. And a number of Pertwee’s were as well. Fortunately, a few have been recovered, including a 1971 Pertwee series that someone in the United States taped privately and kept in their home video collection for years.
