Oddly enough, I prefer Missy to the Master...

UK ratings are much higher than the US - but are falling slowly. Stated with a 10.95 average viewers (millions) now down to 8.22.

"New Who lost me during the creepy, stalker Peter Capaldi era. I have no desire watch an even more Woke version of the Doctor.

Time to let it go and wait 20 years for the next reboot. Besides, I still have all of my Pertwee and Baker shows to rewatch."

Agree... However, Peter Capaldi (as a creepy stalker) was excellent in the Torchwood season "Children of Earth".

"Tom Baker is the Dr. Who"

Ditto!

I had always thought (since the cloning) that Dr Who's daughter would, someday, return and take over...

For the modern Dr Who episodes, it has been Rose Tyler, Amelia Pond and Clara who have been the show's principal stars, IMHO...

Me too. He was great as Dr. Who. I did happen to catch his appearance as the Museum curator in either the David Tennet or Matt Smith episode. (I forget which one it was.)

He's gotten old, but he still had that characteristic smile.
