Doctor Who

--- Quote from: BenRG on 31 Jul 2018, 02:37 ---IMO, the writing for 'NewWho' has always been a bit uneven but began to seriously decline after the introduction of Jenna Coleman's Clara Oswald. Capaldi's time was forgettable for me and my concern is the introduction of Jodie Whittaker's incarnation of The Doctor is nothing but a desperate attempt by the BBC to create hype for a show that is creatively losing its way.

I blame Moffatt. He wrote great single stories but as a show runner he was ass. A new show runner is what we need now. I'm cautiously optimistic.
Thrillho:
Intentions are not magic and for me that cuts both ways. Does it actually matter why we get a female Doctor?

I'm with you when you say that the show has been in decline. It's a reasonable opinion.
However. You must think very little of Jodie Whittaker to claim that creating hype for the show is the sole reason to hire her.
Especially since I would have thought that hiring a new writer is more obviously an attempt to address the creative decline of the show.

Five gets you ten, that when Whittaker eventually bows out, the role is recast as a white guy again.

I'll take that. I think 14 will be a male of African or Asian descent.
