Let's hope they replace the writers too, I stopped watching it shortly after she started - it was horrendous.

That's the thing, at least for me too, they can cast all the charming Doctors they want (and I did find Jodie charming) but if the stories aren't there... well then, what's the point of it all

I didn't even know this crap was still running until TheFizza restarted this topic - I blame them! 

Yoooou're welcome

Darleks again? how many times did Who kill them off? it is becoming beyond a joke. ( coming from some one who remember the early Dr Who though the scenery was more like theatre than film, the stories were imaginative and some times funny) I stopped watching yonks ago

No, it's not the Darleks.

It's the Daleks

I had thought The Doctor would have regenerated in the New Years Special but I guess we have more to weather before this storm breaks

Yep, end of the year

While I only became a fan of The Doctor after the revival I did go back to watch most of the Doctor's stories [the Patrick Troughton years are the absolute best, incidentally] finding many great stories and some not so great. With that perspective in mind, overall I didn't much care for the 13th Doctor's Years. I thought the performance was great and her companions were pretty decent but these stories where probably the worst in all the 60 years of the Doctor, and I'm counting the 6th Doctor's [Colin Baker] Years!

The episodes of 13 feel more like rejected scrips from Star Trek TOS during the first portion of the run and now has become some kind of El ministerio del tiempo or Valerian & Laureline (not the movie) with Time Agents and Secrets Histories or Time Covert Ops... All of which are fine stories and there's plenty of room for those stories to be told in the genre but are not the type of story I (and I dare say many) watch the Doctor & Co. for.

If they had all these ideas for a different world with a different status quo then why not make a different show, or a spin-off? That being said, I've never really been all that interested in the Doctor's history... I'm of the opinion the more mystery with a character like the Doctor the better... I don't want to look behind the curtain, I just want the magic!

As a result I am very-very happy to see the end of the creative team on this show and I hope they burn in hell... or something sufficiently appropriate for the crime of making a global icon boring.

That being as it is, I am sad to never have actually really enjoyed a 13th Doctor story the way I have many other incarnations but mayhaps they'll be some good audio adventures or even another one of those Doctor reunions where she can really shine.

The best thing they could possibly do (if he would take the part), is to ask David Tennant to return as the Doctor, ...

I wouldn't mind Matt Smith or Capaldi either
