The Dr Who thread

Ah. That ties in with some episode titles I saw recently then... the above link also has some clues as to how this might be happening, if you wish to avoid further spoilers.

Oh, of course! This was all set up quite rationally the last time she appeared with Smith's Doctor.

Okay, Nigel. Now? Now, its WAR.

Take him to the Netherlands and make him watch nothing but NPO for 24 hours. I'm not sure if that counts as a demonstration or a torture but either way he'll get the idea that things are much better as they are.

You don't realise how good the BBC is until you leave the country and realise how their national broadcasters are, and that at times some of the best programs being shown on those channels are BBC imports

I want so much for the Doctor - any Doctor - to meet Nigel.

To bring a bit of balance though, decent TV out of Britain doesn't just come from the BBC.

Their election coverage was less than stellar, unless you are a tea lady looking for her five minutes of fame:

and the Enfield Hauntings did pretty well too.

I'm starting to wonder if I will bother with the next season of Dr Who however.

I'm the same. Very much doubt it will hold interest, I never finished watching the last pile of muck that excused as a season.

Capaldi should be one of the greats but he's being served mince that even my 9 year old son thought was stupid.
Space spiders and the moon is an egg ! What a pile of shit. Almost as bad as Space Whales, that I forgave, but now it seems to be the norm.

Good. less whingers in a thread about a children's TV show can only be a good thing.

Well, it's not whinging, it's a one off opinion, hardly a whinge.

Secondly, it's not supposed to be only a kids show, Who was always about the balance between the kids and the adults/dads.
