IMO, this is what he always wanted the show to be like. He didn't want
to revive Doctor Who; he wanted a gay, sex-soaked reboot of Doctor Who.
At the time the BBC wouldn't let him, so he created Captain Jack
Harkness as a *different* guy banging his way across time and space.

Now, the show has aged and is fading. The BBC's willing to let RTD do
his thing as a desperation move to juice it along a little more.

If they cancelled it gracefully, they might be able to revive it again
in another twenty years. If this goes on too long, though, then the
whole show could become a permament laughingstock.

On reflection I don't think he does. It's like a band going in
to the studio and re-recording their greatest hits... that's all
RTD has done since he returned to the show in 2023.

I did enjoy some episodes of S1 and S2 but the season endings
left a sour taste in my mouth, especially the Billie Piper
thing. After all the big build up Omega is destroyed in two
minutes, no explanation is given for a lot of things, and stuff
is there because it's there. What's mavity all about then if
you're not going to explain it in two years? I wouldn't blame
the Disney executives if they were wondering what the fuck is
going on and wanted more creative control. RTD needed to be
reined-in. The best Ncuti Gatwa era story was actually written
by Steven Moffat.

I think RTD is just an out of touch old Queen doing what he
wants to do because it's jolly good fun in his mind and fuck the
fans if they don't like it. So let's insert every trendy cause
into episodes because that's what he thinks Doctor Who should be
about in 2025, a political bandwagon. Have your messaging
wrapped inside a good story if you have to show how trendy and
right-on you are... but start with the story, not the message.
RTD is all about big ideas, that then fall flat. His ego is
destroying the thing he created.

As mentioned here before, my three children have all stopped
watching Doctor Who in the past two years, so clearly what RTD
thinks the younger generation wants is not what they actually do
want... or they wouldn't be walking away from a show that's been
on in this house - in some form or another - their whole life.
It might only be a small sample size but if you multiply those
three ex-viewers by households that would normally be watching
Doctor Who you can see where the audience is going.

He did. It was called Torchwood. That was kind of my point. :)

I don't want to stop anyone either, but it sure looks like audiences are
wandering off.

I'd like the show to go on forever, too. Maybe it could end up like
Saturday Night Live or The Simpsons, somehow renewed even when it stinks
and nobody's watching, somehow recovering when some new people rotate
in. I can dream, anyway.

If RTD wanted a gay sex-soaked reboot, he should have just gone
away and written a new show about a gay sex-soaked alien visitor
to Earth. Without the baggage of "Doctor Who" and its eras past,
that new show might have worked and been a big hit on Channel 4.

I'd rather the BBC didn't cancel Doctor Who. My preferred option
would be the show carries on, I can then choose not to watch it
if my enjoyability level goes downhill enough and "Doctor Who"
is just throwback gimmicks and in-your-face messaging to the
detriment of its entertainment value.

I would never stop others from enjoying the show. I'm sixty in
two weeks time, if Doctor Who in 2025+ ain't for me I can live
with that. I always hope for the best... but these days, I
expect the worst. But I always want to see "Doctor Who" live
on...

They are. As mentioned, I have seen this first hand.

There are too many alternatives now. In 1963 you watched BBC1
or listened to the radio... and the programmes were on at a set
time. Now, you can choose what you want to watch, at what time,
and on what service...

I suppose every TV show has a natural life span... maybe forever
is a bit too optimistic.

It passed "permanent launghing stock" long ago the The Mistress idiocy.
It is well into "dismal garbage" now.

It also used to be free (except for a TV license), but now they stupily
 expect people to pay hundreds of dollars a month to sign up to
numerous different streaming services to watch a couple of "exclusive"
shows on each one. It's a ridiculous idea that has already failed for
quite a few services as well as constant price increases.

TV will be around for a long time, although the method of broadcast
will likely change over to internet-only eventually. That in itself is
rather silly, since during an emergency the internet can easily go
down, whereas a signal broadcast from further out will still work. (The
same happens with stupid home phone via the internet - if the internet
goes down, you can't call the help desk because your phone has gone
with it!)

AND I WOULD LIKE TO NOMINATE 'MANCHESTER UNITED FC' FOR INCLUSION,
THAT'S THE SIR ALEX FERGUSON ERA OF MULTIPLE LEAGUE TITLES (13) FA CUPS
(6) EUROPEAN CUPS (2) AND INTER-CONTINENTAL/CLUB WORLD CUPS. (2)

THEY ARE MORE DESEVING OF A PLACE ON THE LIST THAN LIVERPOOL.

I WOULD PUT LIVERPOOL AHEAD OF PENAROL OR BOCA JUNIORS IN A TOP TEN LIST
THO.

TV itself might... but no TV show has a god-given right to go
on forever. The shows that last for decades are obviously the
most popular but even then there's the law of diminishing
returns. Eventually a show reaches the end of its natural shelf
life, after that you're basically just flogging a dead horse.

I'm not saying "Doctor Who" has reached that point. I'm just
making the observation that maybe with everything that's going
on in the competitive world of the entertainment industry, some
television shows get as far they can but can get no further. So
we can't expect our favourite show to 'always' be around or
outlive us.

Tell that to the makers of "The Simpsons".  ;-)

"Flogging a dead horse" is pretty much how the American TV industry
works, hence the 1500th season of "The Simpsons", and the 99th
spin-offs of "NCIS" and "Law & Order".

The problem is that these days the morons in charge then try to bring
the shows back, which is almost never successful, whether it's an
idiotic "reboot", "remake, or a sequel / prequel series.

LOL. Well, who's your favorite Doctor? Four, Five, and Nine are probably
my top three, with Four as the absolute best.

You like One, eh? That era confused me a little when I first saw it,
when I was a kid. Everyone kept referring to Susan as a child and
treating her like one, but she was clearly a grown woman. As an adult, I
figure this is Dawson's Creek casting and we're expected to take the
character as younger than the actress, but I didn't get that as a kid.

For me, the show ended with Twelve. I don't even know what this current
show is, but it doesn't seem much like Doctor Who.

Yep, really!

I don't have to check-in here every day now as there's very few
posts to actually see.

Today, since my last post here there's your four and one each
from Horny, Your Name and Nomen. Total = seven posts.

Seven posts to read in two days. It's fucking great.

There's very little entertainment here now, that's the
only thing.

We need to turn the entertainment level up a notch or two on
that though! ;-)

Yeah, I did get that after a bit, thanks. It just didn't make visual
sense.

I was about 14, and it was flamingly obvious to me that she was
significantly older than I was. I wondered if Time Lords had a different
life cycle.

His favorite Doctor is Three.

Mine is Ten/Fourteen, followed by Three.

Least favorite is eleven (he doesn't get a capital letter number). I'm
waiting for AI to replace every instance of Stupidface with someone like
Benedict Cumberbatch. Then those seasons might be enjoyable.

(Rather than initially spoiling my absolute favorite show into being
unwatcheable, for years, until someone convinced me to watch the first
episode of Twelve. He was ok.)

In the original episodes, Susan was enrolled as a student at a local
school, so she would have been high school age (like Dawson's Creek,
Smallville, Beverly Hills 90210, etc.).

Not 14 - That is Ncuti!

The Real 13 looks like the 10th!

Nine was good as he brought "Doctor Who" back onto our screens. Would
have been better if he had lasted a bit longer.

Four, I think, would appear in just about every (senior) fans top three.

Ten was good. Even better for him to get a second incarnation .... and,
now, possibly, a third!

I only caught a bit of Three (and Bessie, of course) but he seemed O.K.

(Not having seen DisneyWho, I can't really comment on him ....) but, for
me, Twelve would have to be at the bottom of a NewWho Doctors list. Near
the bottom all time.
