I think the show should have ended after Tom Baker left.

The new series since 2005 had been pretty good, in large part. Ironically it was Davies who was the first showrunner of the modern era. Apart from one character being openly bisexual (Captain Jack Harkness) the first Davies era emphasized solid story and characters.

But that was almost 20 years ago. Davies left and the amazing Steven Moffat became showrunner, and with him came Matt Smith and then Peter Capaldi as the Doctor.

Then came the Chris Chibnall era which only lasted for the female Doctor (that wasn't even half of what went wrong on Chibnall's watch).

Now it's Davies again, and the man has changed. Has become a raging progressive waging war against the true Doctor Who fans who have watched the show since its original run 1963-1989. Ncuti Gatwa ticks off all the right D.E.I. boxes: homosexual, liberal, minority (I have no problem with a black man playing the Doctor so long as he properly respects the character and the show's history). It's also been strongly hinted that he was on Davies' casting couch if you know what I mean.

“ I think the show should have ended after Tom Baker left.”

It did, as far as I am concerned.

Tom Baker left in large part because he really disliked the direction the new producer John Nathan Turner was taking the show.

So here's the answer to a trivia question: Who was the first gay producer to ruin Doctor Who? John Nathan Turner!

But Russell Davies has him beat by a mile, Davies has turned Doctor Who into gay fanfiction. Brutal.

I didn’t even tune in for the Christmas episode last year.

I did enjoy the David Tennet Doctor.
