Doctor Who

It's like carbon~~woke~~ offsetting, maybe strictly, with latest announcement, will now take on this burden, and Doctor Who can be liberated to run free.
there probably needs to be a woke score in imdb/tomatoes.

....Corrie seems to be hitting a rich vein of this atm - police stopped my car meme

This is well worth a read, I think it sums things up nicely.

Dr Who failed because they started the WOKE bull**** and forgot its about a good Story for the sake of a good Story with Aliens in it.

/kill it off for 30 years.

To those calling for DW to be cancelled/go away for a while... would this change things?

Would JMS have a free hand, or would he have to stick to the BBC's woke agenda?

If they let JMS run it, I'd be on, wasn't he responsible for B5?

Indeed. He even wrote some of the classic He-Man and the Masters of the Universe episodes and Real Ghosrbusters.

I don't think JMS can save it. at best he can do. is some very well written episodes. but the underlying problems will still be there that it still BAD sci-fi.
to me Davies brought the Dr back wrong. instead of Bring the Dr into the 21st century. he brought it back as a 70/80's sci fi show and all that intailes, so that by todays standards the Dr is just out of date

if i was incharge i would take the Dr off the air for 5ish years and then reboot him. have some one go threw all the old Dr stuff and do a bit of world building, so that things like one week the tardis can translate speech from the other side of a plant, and the next week it can't translate anything from across the town cause you outside the field

Love Babylon 5 so would definitely give JMS a chance, as long as he's given free reign. If it's the same BBC bull**** agenda though, not much chance even he could save it.

Nah RTD did a good job. It went to **** thereafter

Silly Goose On The Loose · 22 Aug 2021 at 19:00

Glad Chibnall is off. Somehow worse than Moffat who was *****.

Just get RTD back!

Its low budget (or at least it looks like it) so focus on the story, focus on the actors and companion and give them some good story lines. And by good I don't mean the current trend of faux emotion where people just tell us how hard it is for them and why we should all sympathise with them. Stop dealing with social and political issues with the subtlety of a wrecking ball and stop using Dr Who as a vehicle to push the BBC diversity agenda. Just give us good stories.

it became less of a program for the family and more of a programme for kids and the woke.

I bet the people behind it only cared about pushing their echo chamber hive mind onto a new generation
the whole thing needs a total reboot, skip everything thats new it's not cannon.

remake it as a show for older teens and adults

They had Torchwood for that aspect. Wish they'd bring it back.

torchwood was kinda crap imo terrible casting like most BBC series they try

ivrytwr3 · 23 Aug 2021 at 19:32

Torchwood was awesome!

SPG · 24 Aug 2021 at 07:45

Nah it wasn't really

fez · 24 Aug 2021 at 10:15

I'm on the Torchwood was largely crap side but I really really dislike the John Barrowman character. Came across as an arrogant ***** who loved the smell of his own **** and everyone thought he was amazing. You can pull that off with the right casting, the right acting and the right script and it had none of them.

jpaul · 24 Aug 2021 at 10:21

I'm not sure I could rememember a/any torchwood story, but,
on the diversity side it just felt natural, like, diversity in Eastenders ~~Corry~~ ~~Netflix~~ , yes lower budget,
querky characters like excellent c4 Utopia, and, post watershed, double entendres and adult language permitted.

ttaskmaster · 24 Aug 2021 at 14:33

Torchwood started off good and had some great moments right up to the end, but it was also interspersed with going right up its own woke BBC backside, and getting completely lost in where they thought they were going with the main plots.
