New Dr Who

Bi-generation was his gimmick so he could have tennant bounce off Ncuti then had no idea why so threw a genetic acicident that sterilised the time lords (again), even though we see kids on gallafrey (both shabogan and time lord) and the cure of Pythia was lifted in cannon.

WTF happened to an old man travelling the universe with his granddaughter?

Something strange happened there didn't it?

Ncuti said next series was being filmed from May on Graham Norton and it was edited out of existence along with an official "nothing is happening yet"

I think like I said he probably would of done a 3 rd series but because series 14 was so bad for the rating Disney didn’t renew

No kidding he needs to go.

I think what has been shown is that Davies needs someone to say 'no' to him, and there doesn't appear to be anyone who can do that on DW. The writing has too often lapsed into lazy one sentence unformed ideas followed by <insert lots of effects here to distract with shiny stuff>. Giant bone beasts, guv? Sure, but let's not actually make them attack anything, instead they can stand around like dinosaur-sized targets so they can animate a UNIT rotating turret.

Episodes have repeatedly run out of steam - look at the Tennant/Tate triple - too much for the time, too little for the time, too little topped up with his utter unwillingness to actually permanently put an end to characters (not least his besotted obsession with Rose Tyler). This has to be down to the writer (Davies) and the showrunner (also Davies).

Almost the single worst thing he came up with was the first episode of the series, where the Doctor was an irresponsible obnoxious stalker, 'babes'ing around everyone (imagine Matt Smith's Doctor calling Clara 'babes'!). He fused all the power in a hospital with no comeback or remorse!

The one person who said no to him and challenged his authority had his BBC career ended.
 
Last thing I will say about this whole situation on the finale is that this picture leaked on Disney plus Germany supposedly showing the original ending before the re shoots and changes, apparently it would of ended with this big party with Susan (60s companion) looking over in the distance toward the doctor .

Just made the mistake of watching it on iPlayer.
What a pile of self righteous steaming shite.

I gave up halfway through Capaldi and I was a huge fan of the reboot. It has now disappeared so far it's own arse and becoming "activist TV " that I have no time for it. I don't watch TV to be lectured at in the laziest and most milquetoast and cowardly possible manner.

It's possible to explore ethical and social issues in sci-fi. This isn't what they do, they lecture and preach.
