I cannot imagine how tough it is to write a script for Dr. Who. I stopped watching not long into Peter Capaldi’s entrance. Not because I didn’t like him, but because Netflix (who I dropped) stopped streaming new episodes.
The tough part of writing the show is that there are tons of backstory that the Whovians know, and there would be a major revolt if something was done improperly. I’ve met a few Whovians, and it’s nearly a religion to them.
I loved Peter Capaldi’s version.
There is so much in old and new Who that I can’t keep up with. I don’t envy the writers so much.
