Thats not true, he has said countless times how fond he is of the character. He loves being recognised as the character, and has even said he woukd love to return with Karen and Arthur. He even said he would love to play The Master @@sw-gs
@@sw-gsUnsure where you heard this, but Smith wants to return! He even said he’d love to return but as The Master. Capaldi definitely does not want to return on the other hand.
I've been a fan of Doctor Who for going on 40 years and recognize the ups and downs with every regeneration. The first few episodes of this season were so painful to watch... just shockingly bad. But the show got better with each episode. It's still nowhere near as good as it was a few years ago, but also not nearly as bad as the online hate mob made it out to be. I like Gatwa's acting chops, but his persona just never carried the gravitas of being The Doctor for me. At least not yet.
Whilst I do not agree in anyway with using CGI to recreate actors (please RTD, dont do this), I would love to see some new actors come in to establish a recreation of those actors. Like how we've had David Bradley come in as an amazing 1st Doctor, it would be awesome, but a very scary job, to see new actors come in as those older doctors. Only when the plot needs it though, not just random fan service. Anyways, Season 1 was awesome, and beought in a fresh and amazing warmth back to the show. Was it perfect? No. Not by any means, but it was far from bad, and hit the spots which Chibnalls era didnt reach. It needs fine tuning, and the reduction to 8 episodes and the likwly trouble it caused can be felt, but it was fun, and they have told stories which Doctor Who has never done, but they feel very fitting and well crafted. Needs some improvement, but we are on the right track
Yeah, I'd definitely go with a recasting over a CG recreation but in other ways I think it may be better to leave them alone. There are previous Doctors that are still around, still look the same (or close enough) that could be brought back for specials and so on.
@@joshuaverran9443 What an ignorant comment to say they're dead so it doesn't matter. Anyway, you wouldn't be getting the "real original actors" with CG, do you not know how CG works? 😂😂
When I initially like a show I tend to stick with it. Maybe it's a mild OCD thing; I've started so I'll finish. When Jodie Whitaker became Doctor Who I approached the show with an open mind like I do with any new Doctor. I wasn't keen on the writing but I hung on. The Timeless Children did not help. For me, continuity and adherence to established lore is extremely important - destroy that and my connection to a franchise becomes at best tenuous. When Ncuti and RTD took over I hoped for a return to the decent storytelling of the Eccleston era. I didn't get it. As the series progressed I stuck with it but I became aware that I was treating it like wallpaper. It was there in the background but I was easily distracted by other activities. The realisation that - for me - the show no longer felt like Doctor Who means that I won't bother engaging with future seasons. It's nothing new. I liked Neighbours when it began but the shift towards dominant storylines about teenage angst meant I was no longer invested in the programme. I stopped watching. It's not just TV series but with movie franchises the break is less gradual. When Ryan Johnson "treated us" to the Last Jedi fiasco, breaking the lore and giving us SuperLeia, I left the cinema vowing not to add to the Star Wars coffers in any future movie. No doubt Doctor Who will continue with a new demographic of fans. Maybe they will be in sufficient numbers and they will enjoy Doctor New. Good for them; I wish them much enjoyment as I depart and find something I might actually enjoy.
Hope they both go to comic con liverpool one day as would be ace to meet millie gibson as she was ace when she was in soap coronation street as kelly neelan massive fan of her as a actor ❤️
I love Millie and Ncuti, but when they mention the relationship between their characters, I don't think we've been properly shown what that relationship is. Hopefully they get some quality time together next season. I don't want to be told their good friends, I want to see why they're good friends like was done with Clara and Capaldi.
Enjoyed the series Only thing, the finale was one of the weakest episode. Not bad, but not up to the expectation. Excellent actors Now it's up to the script writers to put up good stories or their talent will be wasted. Can see both Millie and Ncuti doing great things after the series.
I personally had mixed feelings about this season. The 73 yards was great, and the cliffhanger before the last episode was great, but the rest was pretty boring. I also liked the episodes "Dot" and "Bubble and Boom." The resolution for the last episode seemed kinda lazy, lacking that Doctor Who magic. I think Ncuti is a great actor, just not a great Doctor (not bad acting, maybe just bad writing). For me, nothing will top Capaldi's acting as the Doctor. Ruby was, I'd say, okay as a companion. I have high hopes for season 2; the preview of the Christmas special looked interesting. All in all, I would give season 1 a 5/10. The Disney budget was kinda blown. Side note: I hate the sonic screwdriver; it looks like a TV remote, lmao.
If you took that seriously you really not as bright as you think you are. j/k He isn't being serious, he's being silly. This is RTD after all, he's known for getting over excited about things and making silly, OTT comments.

@@harryvideoz8863No, Ncuti had anxiety throughout the entirety of making Season 1 which held him back a lot when he filmed Season 2 the anxiety was gone
@@harryvideoz8863 nope, I really enjoyed the series and I thought Ncuti’s performance was electric! Sounds like you didn’t see it the same way, that’s fine. What didn’t you like about it?
It was great to see Russell and Nucti and the beautiful Millie and to see Russell, Matt Smith could return and Paul McGann to Doctor Who with the 15th Doctor 😁👍🏻
I think Ncuti is amazing as The Doctor, and although I had issues with some elements RTD decided to introduce into the new series, overall I really enjoyed the first Ncuti Gatwa series. Hope he is around for awhile.
I had high hopes for Mr Gatwa. While he ticked a few diversity boxes, I was eager to see him portray the Doctor because I've enjoyed his other works . Whata disappointment. He has been written as a cowardly, shallow flibberty jibbert who cries every 5 minutes, needs help all the time and is basically a stereotype gay guy. He could have been a Doctor who just happened to be gay , oh and black. Instead RTD had made the first Black / Gay Doctor a massive Pu55y. For example he is always running away scared. For 60 years he's been the stoic hero, now he runs away. In 7 episodes it's other people that save the day - if you pay attention. 1 - NannE saves the space babies 2 - Devils Chord- Beatles save the day 3 - Boom - The AI saves the day 4 - 73 yards - nothing happens in the end 5 - DotNBubble - Everyone goes to their death. 6 - Rogue - Rogue saves the day, the Dr is incompetent and focuses on getting his end away rather than check on his companion. 7 - a soldier dies 8 - Hooray finally he saves everyone. All that aside the terrible editing. The DEI overload - what few white men appear are idiots / die. The finale ? MASSIVE DISAPPOINTMENT- RTD plundering from original Lore but then pees all over it. The man is tired and creatively bankrupt and embarrassment to the legacy.
@@Knaveofspades6 While I may not agree with you about Ncuti (who, remember, was only reading what was in the scripts he was given to perform), we are in total agreement regarding RTD. He added totally unnecessary elements to the series that only alienated a lot of the fans, and the "reveal" of Ruby's mother alone, after the huge buildup, was quite frankly unforgiveable. Honestly, he probably needs to go.
I'd like to say something good about season 1, but not really, I got more and more bored as I watched the episodes, and god, that ending, please... I hope they do something good soon.
Might be delulu but for me the way Millie spoke about people recreating her scar spoke volumes to me as that she has previously been self conscious about her unique mark but feels so seen by people copying it.
I really hope season 2 is better because ncuti is great its just the writing was really bad, stupid space babies episode, rogue was decent tho and I liked it and boom and 73 yards had some good acting from millie gibson but the other episodes weren't great
Where are the reactions to the Doctor Who fans? They only talk about themselves, there is only a small section at 7:50 where they talk about Doctor New fans. I'd like them to discuss why people don't like it in general, other than people who are programmed to love it. I loved Millie in some Episodes and Ncuti is a great dramatic actor but he didn't feel like the doctor at all, he was scared all the time and ran away a lot. He also cried way too much (he's a dramatic actor after all I guess, a great one as I said) for portraying the doctor. I hope he gets the curve and feels more like the doctor in the next season. I'm not sure he can do it but I sure do hope so
@@christophervincent77 They run from their problems as long as there aren't others involved though. If others are involved the doctor always runs towards danger and tries to overcome it. But I get what you mean
Millie got a whole lot prettier in San Diego. The numbers weren't phenomenal, but the brand itself should keep it going for awhile. Chibnall's dumping all the history of the show in his first season was a fatal move that the other two couldn't make up for. Davies' embracing it has helped.

@@FrankNFurter1000I agree. I love RTD and the stories he has made and all, but I hope for his sake and ours and the actors, we don't go down this route of CGI recreations. His humour is always so cryptic it's hard to tell if he is serious or not.
RTD looks genuinely uncomfortable. He knows he blew it. He knows most of the old fans aren't with him anymore and the woke stuff is scaring away more potential viewers than its gaining. All the cringey identity politics and dialog that sounded so good when he was writing the scripts during the pandemic. Huffing all the woke farts from his friends. I rewatched the Star Beast the other day and the pronoun lecture and "male presenting" dialog is even worse than I remembered. In the future, when hollywood is done trying to "educate" viewers and back to entertaining them, it's gonna be hard to explain to first time viewers what the heck they're even talking about. ...oh and don't look for any help from a potential Star Trek crossover: he's a Discovery fan 🤢🤮
Does he? He looks very happy to be here. The BBC have listed how much of a success it's been for them financially, they've announced a spin off, and Season 2 is still in production. Many new channels have started reacting to the show internationally, and consistently, each week Doctor Who would be in the Top 10 watched shows on Disney Plus. Has the Season been perfect? No, ofcourse it hasn't, some moments like the line in The Star Beast were written pretty roughly and needed better integration into the plot. In regards to "woke" stuff, whilst the word itself is incredibly overused and misused, I'm going to have to pretend to know what you mean. Identity politics haven't really been brought up, like at all, except maybe for a few seconds in The Devils Chord. The scripts have been fairly good, and haven't really been any more political than Series 4. Series 4 was incredibly political, I mean go back and you might be surprised by just how political it is. Politics isn't anything new for the show, just remember, 18 years after WW2 ended, Doctor Who in its second story did a story entirely revolving around far right fascism, which would have been very "woke" for the time. I dont think being "Woke" is the problem, if you want to make a properly constructed argument, you would say its the fact the writing has made the themes more obvious. Not a problem with "woke", just awareness.
@@DalekCaanOfSkaro When you mention "bbc listing how much of a finsncial success it's been for them," you might want to look at which years precisely they are referring to, because it's not this recent iteration they're referring to. Also, a second series and the spinoff were part of the initial agreement, and s1 & 2 were filmed back-to-back, so the only thing we can tell from any of these points is that the reception was not so bad that it'd be worth their while to get out of the contract and/or discard episodes unreleased. However each corporation is judging its success or failure, none of what you listed is evidence one way or another.
@@TommyLednorMusic I enjoyed this season quite a bit but it was still a pretty weak season. The last season I genuinely loved all the way through was capaldi’s last season
@@joshuadownes9449 ah see that’s very different to “struggling to enjoy” 😂 I can see why you’d think it was a weak season, there are episodes that are basically marmite; you either love them or you hate them… personally, I love this kinda marmite

The new Doctor/season might be as bad as the last Doctors run. Which is saying something considering how bad the last run was. The show is just an absolute mess. Ill check back in when this Doctor and Davies (whos original run was obviously excellent... wtf happened??) are gone.
@@TheDeviantPro Let’s see, several of the best episodes that we’ve had in years (if we include the 60th Specials then WBY is the best we’ve had since Heaven Sent) and overall the best series that we’ve had since Series 5. Nope, I mean so good.
@@thetimeshadow6769 And yet Doctor Who's ratings are tanking lower then Whittaker's run. If the series is "good" again, when why the ratings are still shit. Most episodes of this series was poorly written garbage, also RTD is fucking hack. Keep telling yourself that the series is "good" while millions of Doctor Who fans stop watching due Doctor Who being unwatchable.
@@TheDeviantPro Ah yes, the man who not only brought the show back to begin with, not only crafted the two only good spin-off shows we’ve ever had, but also came back when it was on the verge of being cancelled thanks to Chibnall and then made it better than it had been in years, yes, absolute hack behaviour, of course(!) Now, in terms of ratings, if you look on IMDb, a total of 8 episodes from The Star Beast - now have at the very least a 7 / 10, at the very most an 8.2 / 10. In fact, the only episodes to have less than 7 / 10 are: CORR, Empire of Death, Devil’s Chord, Space Babies. 4 episodes out of 12, have less than a 7 / 10, so I’d say that’s pretty good. As for viewing figures, the viewing system has changed a lot since they started dropping episodes on iPlayer so a lot of ppl don’t watch it on broadcasts because they instead prefer to either watch it at Midnight, or during the day. There’s less incentive to watch it while it’s on so those viewing figures ultimately mean so much less than they used to.
It's this kind of mentality that worries me. Doctor Who is a TV Show, something you press a button on a streaming service to watch. It's a choice, not forced on you. If you don't like, you are not being forced to watch it Clockwork Orange style. If you don't like it, and you are entitled not to, then just stop watching. But don't demand a show to be cancelled and take away the choice for those who do enjoy it to stop them watching it, and wish for all those jobs to be lost. Doctor Who is a giant thing for Welsh media production, and has done so much for that country. You have a choice to not watch it, but you demanding that choice be removed is something that is harsh to those who are allowed to enjoy it.
Disney + arent in control, the BBC and Bad Wolf Studios are. All Disney + have in a position of power are notes on what can happen and global distribution, but RTD can choose to accept these notes or not
“Hall Haitch” 🙄 - it annoys me when people mispronounce ‘H’ but when they put it after another word that already has an ‘H’ sound it really emphasises it somehow.
Could you give me a breakdown of your assement of his body language. I'm sure you are a body language expert, otherwise if you werent, its a strange deduction based on nothing.
I really liked Ncuti but he had so little to work with. This Doctor was mostly about being “fabulous” but I believe he could have been more! RTD needed to be given more time to work the details of his stories out. Quite frankly I was embarrassed for him. I hope he hasn’t lost his 🪄
Russell faces a big task. He's an older fan and the sheer drag on the consciousness of the older fan is considerable. Do I think he is entirely successful in countering that? Perhaps. But in doing so, it's like he devalues it. Ultimately this series must land in the pocket of a newer generation of creators; those who are aware of the pitfalls of 'trending' but also know that it has to be true to itself. It's not the war between the land and the sea - it's the war between the past and the future.
"Sheer drag on the older consciousness " 😂 how rude! Or are you trying to make excuses for RTDs creatively bankrupt writing that he penned from a template of Ecclestons era.
Ncuti is a great Doctor and Millie is a great companion. Loved the Yards episode. I hope that he as a black man will bring Dr Who to other black people who have never been Dr fans as well as white.
@@andym2612 I am a 52-year-old fan who has been watching since the 70s, and I am loving Ncuti's era as the Doctor. There is no "agenda." If there was, don't you think RTD would have been accused of that back in 2005?
Interesting, sounds like Season 2 will also have a Ruby-centric episode 4 that was the first Millie Gibson shot for the season, just like 73 Yards!

5. The way the doctor found ruby’s mom was really just through dna in the future. An alien with a brilliant mind really couldn’t think to simply go 30 years to the future where there was better technology?
There’s many more things that I didn’t mention. Maybe someone else can list some?
👇
Also, how does dragging Sutekh through the time vortex magically undo him killing planets? It would just kill him.
@@krathoon2338 they said “death to death brings life” Like what?
It really feels like RTD was drunk when he wrote those two episodes. There is no logic to them at all.
Dude if Season 1 was Ncuti finding his feet, then Season 2 is gonna be unfathomably good
Your a troll right
@@harryvideoz8863No, Ncuti had anxiety throughout the entirety of making Season 1 which held him back a lot when he filmed Season 2 the anxiety was gone
@@harryvideoz8863why would he be a troll ?
@@harryvideoz8863 nope, I really enjoyed the series and I thought Ncuti’s performance was electric! Sounds like you didn’t see it the same way, that’s fine. What didn’t you like about it?
No it will be unfathomably bad just like series 11-14
It was great to see Russell and Nucti and the beautiful Millie and to see Russell, Matt Smith could return and Paul McGann to Doctor Who with the 15th Doctor 😁👍🏻
I think Ncuti is amazing as The Doctor, and although I had issues with some elements RTD decided to introduce into the new series, overall I really enjoyed the first Ncuti Gatwa series. Hope he is around for awhile.
I had high hopes for Mr Gatwa.
While he ticked a few diversity boxes, I was eager to see him portray the Doctor because I've enjoyed his other works . Whata disappointment.
He has been written as a cowardly, shallow flibberty jibbert who cries every 5 minutes, needs help all the time and is basically a stereotype gay guy. He could have been a Doctor who just happened to be gay , oh and black. Instead RTD had made the first Black / Gay Doctor a massive Pu55y.
For example he is always running away scared. For 60 years he's been the stoic hero, now he runs away. In 7 episodes it's other people that save the day - if you pay attention.
1 - NannE saves the space babies
2 - Devils Chord- Beatles save the day
3 - Boom - The AI saves the day
4 - 73 yards - nothing happens in the end
5 - DotNBubble - Everyone goes to their death.
6 - Rogue - Rogue saves the day, the Dr is incompetent and focuses on getting his end away rather than check on his companion.
7 - a soldier dies
8 - Hooray finally he saves everyone.
All that aside the terrible editing.
The DEI overload - what few white men appear are idiots / die.
The finale ? MASSIVE DISAPPOINTMENT- RTD plundering from original Lore but then pees all over it. The man is tired and creatively bankrupt and embarrassment to the legacy.
@@Knaveofspades6 While I may not agree with you about Ncuti (who, remember, was only reading what was in the scripts he was given to perform), we are in total agreement regarding RTD. He added totally unnecessary elements to the series that only alienated a lot of the fans, and the "reveal" of Ruby's mother alone, after the huge buildup, was quite frankly unforgiveable. Honestly, he probably needs to go.
@@Dalekzilla absolutely. As a jobbing actor Ncuti can only perform what he is given. By Russel Traitor Davies
Millie... showing off "the girls"... Hey, if you've got 'em, flaunt 'em....
"What knockers!"
"Oh, thank you, Herr Doctor..." ;-P
Take a shower
Matt Smith *would* be fun
I’m super happy to say that, because I got into Doctor Who super recently, Ncuti is my doctor! And I think he’s doing epic so far 😎
You have to watch the moffat era, specifically series 5 and 9. Perfection.
@@Ronnoc10 I have watched both actually and I loved them, but 15 is still the first doctor I ever watched
I'd like to say something good about season 1, but not really, I got more and more bored as I watched the episodes, and god, that ending, please... I hope they do something good soon.
Might be delulu but for me the way Millie spoke about people recreating her scar spoke volumes to me as that she has previously been self conscious about her unique mark but feels so seen by people copying it.
I really hope season 2 is better because ncuti is great its just the writing was really bad, stupid space babies episode, rogue was decent tho and I liked it and boom and 73 yards had some good acting from millie gibson but the other episodes weren't great
Where are the reactions to the Doctor Who fans? They only talk about themselves, there is only a small section at 7:50 where they talk about Doctor New fans. I'd like them to discuss why people don't like it in general, other than people who are programmed to love it. I loved Millie in some Episodes and Ncuti is a great dramatic actor but he didn't feel like the doctor at all, he was scared all the time and ran away a lot. He also cried way too much (he's a dramatic actor after all I guess, a great one as I said) for portraying the doctor. I hope he gets the curve and feels more like the doctor in the next season. I'm not sure he can do it but I sure do hope so
well... all of the Doctors run away a lot, but in every other point I agree with you :)
@@christophervincent77 They run from their problems as long as there aren't others involved though. If others are involved the doctor always runs towards danger and tries to overcome it. But I get what you mean
Yeah, I felt the exactly same.
God almighty, this cast is ridiculously pretty, and such an absolute joy to boot.
I’m so interested in this show now. Like the cast
No more seasons please give it a rest! .. it's not season 2 either, that in its own right is so arrogant it's unbelievable!
Millie got a whole lot prettier in San Diego. The numbers weren't phenomenal, but the brand itself should keep it going for awhile. Chibnall's dumping all the history of the show in his first season was a fatal move that the other two couldn't make up for. Davies' embracing it has helped.
I just love how UA-cam just deleted my negative post.
I'm sorry they can't delete you, too...

Awkward when RTD starts talking about AI reanimations of past Doctors... that's never a good idea and ethically dubious for those that have passed on.
He was joking obviously
@@JB-vq6xv Hard to tell with him in all honesty.
@@FrankNFurter1000I agree. I love RTD and the stories he has made and all, but I hope for his sake and ours and the actors, we don't go down this route of CGI recreations. His humour is always so cryptic it's hard to tell if he is serious or not.
Worst Rating in 62 years of the show. Nuff said
Alrighty 🙂
This was my first time I Binge Watched a season of Dr Who...Loved It!!!
Russell T Davies looks so out of place I love the dude😂
RTD looks genuinely uncomfortable. He knows he blew it. He knows most of the old fans aren't with him anymore and the woke stuff is scaring away more potential viewers than its gaining. All the cringey identity politics and dialog that sounded so good when he was writing the scripts during the pandemic. Huffing all the woke farts from his friends. I rewatched the Star Beast the other day and the pronoun lecture and "male presenting" dialog is even worse than I remembered. In the future, when hollywood is done trying to "educate" viewers and back to entertaining them, it's gonna be hard to explain to first time viewers what the heck they're even talking about.
...oh and don't look for any help from a potential Star Trek crossover: he's a Discovery fan 🤢🤮
Does he? He looks very happy to be here. The BBC have listed how much of a success it's been for them financially, they've announced a spin off, and Season 2 is still in production. Many new channels have started reacting to the show internationally, and consistently, each week Doctor Who would be in the Top 10 watched shows on Disney Plus. Has the Season been perfect? No, ofcourse it hasn't, some moments like the line in The Star Beast were written pretty roughly and needed better integration into the plot. In regards to "woke" stuff, whilst the word itself is incredibly overused and misused, I'm going to have to pretend to know what you mean. Identity politics haven't really been brought up, like at all, except maybe for a few seconds in The Devils Chord. The scripts have been fairly good, and haven't really been any more political than Series 4. Series 4 was incredibly political, I mean go back and you might be surprised by just how political it is. Politics isn't anything new for the show, just remember, 18 years after WW2 ended, Doctor Who in its second story did a story entirely revolving around far right fascism, which would have been very "woke" for the time. I dont think being "Woke" is the problem, if you want to make a properly constructed argument, you would say its the fact the writing has made the themes more obvious. Not a problem with "woke", just awareness.
@@DalekCaanOfSkaro When you mention "bbc listing how much of a finsncial success it's been for them," you might want to look at which years precisely they are referring to, because it's not this recent iteration they're referring to. Also, a second series and the spinoff were part of the initial agreement, and s1 & 2 were filmed back-to-back, so the only thing we can tell from any of these points is that the reception was not so bad that it'd be worth their while to get out of the contract and/or discard episodes unreleased. However each corporation is judging its success or failure, none of what you listed is evidence one way or another.
Mille and Ncuti are fantastic. Ironically RTDs writing is the only one that I’m struggling to enjoy at the moment.
What was the last season you enjoyed?
@@TommyLednorMusicthe ending where ruby mother is normal ruined it
@@TommyLednorMusic I enjoyed this season quite a bit but it was still a pretty weak season. The last season I genuinely loved all the way through was capaldi’s last season
@@farhanaziz2700 I mean yeah kinda but it’s morso the way RTD wrote it
@@joshuadownes9449 ah see that’s very different to “struggling to enjoy” 😂 I can see why you’d think it was a weak season, there are episodes that are basically marmite; you either love them or you hate them… personally, I love this kinda marmite
Hall "aitch" not hall "Haitch"

Stop calling this doctor who.

Agreed, UK have not responded to well to series 14. A poorly written and badly acted series
The new Doctor/season might be as bad as the last Doctors run. Which is saying something considering how bad the last run was. The show is just an absolute mess. Ill check back in when this Doctor and Davies (whos original run was obviously excellent... wtf happened??) are gone.
The first season sucks, he acts bothing like the doctor, shes a souless and boring companion

I loved this season so much
The Show is actually SOOOOOO good again now! Russell The GOAT!
You mean so shit, right?
@@TheDeviantPro Let’s see, several of the best episodes that we’ve had in years (if we include the 60th Specials then WBY is the best we’ve had since Heaven Sent) and overall the best series that we’ve had since Series 5. Nope, I mean so good.
@@thetimeshadow6769 And yet Doctor Who's ratings are tanking lower then Whittaker's run. If the series is "good" again, when why the ratings are still shit. Most episodes of this series was poorly written garbage, also RTD is fucking hack. Keep telling yourself that the series is "good" while millions of Doctor Who fans stop watching due Doctor Who being unwatchable.
@@TheDeviantPro Ah yes, the man who not only brought the show back to begin with, not only crafted the two only good spin-off shows we’ve ever had, but also came back when it was on the verge of being cancelled thanks to Chibnall and then made it better than it had been in years, yes, absolute hack behaviour, of course(!)
Now, in terms of ratings, if you look on IMDb, a total of 8 episodes from The Star Beast - now have at the very least a 7 / 10, at the very most an 8.2 / 10. In fact, the only episodes to have less than 7 / 10 are:
CORR, Empire of Death, Devil’s Chord, Space Babies.
4 episodes out of 12, have less than a 7 / 10, so I’d say that’s pretty good.
As for viewing figures, the viewing system has changed a lot since they started dropping episodes on iPlayer so a lot of ppl don’t watch it on broadcasts because they instead prefer to either watch it at Midnight, or during the day. There’s less incentive to watch it while it’s on so those viewing figures ultimately mean so much less than they used to.
😂
The response was bloody awful ...
Loads of us loved it.
I hope it gets cancelled
Why not just stop watching?
Thousands of jobs lost, think
It's this kind of mentality that worries me. Doctor Who is a TV Show, something you press a button on a streaming service to watch. It's a choice, not forced on you. If you don't like, you are not being forced to watch it Clockwork Orange style. If you don't like it, and you are entitled not to, then just stop watching. But don't demand a show to be cancelled and take away the choice for those who do enjoy it to stop them watching it, and wish for all those jobs to be lost. Doctor Who is a giant thing for Welsh media production, and has done so much for that country. You have a choice to not watch it, but you demanding that choice be removed is something that is harsh to those who are allowed to enjoy it.
@@Ronariverahwell that’s what we are going to do that’s why it’s going to get cancelled

The move to Disney + has seen a shift toward more child friendly stories. It’s not the Dr Who of lore and canon. Back to BBC please.
Disney + arent in control, the BBC and Bad Wolf Studios are. All Disney + have in a position of power are notes on what can happen and global distribution, but RTD can choose to accept these notes or not

Ncutis body language shows he has no confidence in what's he is saying
Could you give me a breakdown of your assement of his body language. I'm sure you are a body language expert, otherwise if you werent, its a strange deduction based on nothing.
How was the latest season of Dr. Who, in two words, IT SUCKED!!!!!!!!!
Celebrating a show that no one really liked or cared about .... interesting.
Ncuti Gatwa and Millie Gibson carried the new iteration of Doctor Who.
I really liked Ncuti but he had so little to work with. This Doctor was mostly about being “fabulous” but I believe he could have been more! RTD needed to be given more time to work the details of his stories out. Quite frankly I was embarrassed for him. I hope he hasn’t lost his 🪄
We need more LGBT+ stories and characters in movies, series, animation and games! 🏳️🌈❤️
Russell faces a big task. He's an older fan and the sheer drag on the consciousness of the older fan is considerable. Do I think he is entirely successful in countering that? Perhaps. But in doing so, it's like he devalues it. Ultimately this series must land in the pocket of a newer generation of creators; those who are aware of the pitfalls of 'trending' but also know that it has to be true to itself. It's not the war between the land and the sea - it's the war between the past and the future.
"Sheer drag on the older consciousness " 😂 how rude!
Or are you trying to make excuses for RTDs creatively bankrupt writing that he penned from a template of Ecclestons era.
10:00 so no just these two seasons
Thank gawd
Actually got pissed off when he suggests cgi previous Doctors
Sack Russell T
Ncuti is a great Doctor and Millie is a great companion. Loved the Yards episode. I hope that he as a black man will bring Dr Who to other black people who have never been Dr fans as well as white.
What the black😮
Is this somehow news to you? There's already been an entire season of Doctor Who with Ncuti Gatwa as the Doctor.
Doctor Who ended on Durdle Door before Jodie regenerated and weasel face returned.
Has anybody told him to touch grass yet?
As a way older fan, loved Ncuti as The Doctor.
Same. I liked Ruby, as well.
Same! He's been great!
@@andym2612 I am a 52-year-old fan who has been watching since the 70s, and I am loving Ncuti's era as the Doctor. There is no "agenda." If there was, don't you think RTD would have been accused of that back in 2005?
There are a lot of people who don’t watch Doctor Who since you ruined it Turdy.
