I really, really agree with you on point 4. Also - you missed point 5 - Moffat is only good as a co-writer to Russell Davies - he is not good enough for the boss job. Well said Tony!

Tom Baker was better. Christ, even Sylvester McCoy was better than the gurning Tennant arsecandle. David Tennant was an annoying turd. Tom Baker was better.

The show is badly produced and poorly written - everyone involved is an arrogant, over-privileged, under-educated idiot. Here's my review of the most recent episode that I think expresses my views succinctly, and possibly explains why its so crap: http://www.brettgerry.co.uk/2010/05/doctor-who-flesh-and-stone-2010-dir-adam-smith/ I’m glad to have found this website: the ubiquitous popularity of Doctor Who is ridiculous.

I despise new Who, despite giving it numerous chances. I am currently watching The 11th Hour and quite frankly, I am unsure as to whether or not I should finish doing so, or go with my desire to let it rot and go about more entertaining things. I'll take a Pertwee-era 6 parter with a bit too much padding over this sugar rushing, poorly written nonsense any day. I doubt this sentiment is unique here though, huh? Good blog.

Firstly, he talked over the transmission of "Rose" and now he attacks again at the end of the "Time of Angels". Just as the Doctor was about to launch into his grand escape plan, Graham attacked by unleashing his animated self to distract thousands of viewers! Simon Pegg was the first to announce his frustration on Twitter, but now Norton's accomplices the BBC, have faced the full force of the Doctor's acolytes. They recieved e-mails! It's like the one were the Doctor defeated the Master by getting everyone to believe in fairies. I'm just glad to have survived the experience! Graham Norton is the Doctor’s arch nemesis!

As a child I can remember watching the Davison Doctor out of the corner of my eye through fear. With Eccleston and Tennant I watched them out of the corner of my eye as they confused me. I didn't like it, and yet I watched every Saturday and own everyone on DVD. Was it a guilty pleasure? I'm not sure. As this sites editor would no doubt agree, watching Davies Who was a frustrating and sometimes anger inducing experience. I think I watched it because it was a British sci-fi and I wanted it be better. Like watching the Olympics, when you know the best you could hope for is bronze! We are always going to live in the shadow of America in sci-fi, when we should be doing better! The new series is... Ok. I had high hopes of Steve Moffatt and no hope in Matt Smith. Moffatt's produced some interesting episodes, with pithy scripts, but nothing that new. Mark Gatis, who will be forever a comedy hero thanks to the LOG, produced a Davies-Lite, historical Who, which seemed to tick the boxes with such haste that I couldn't follow what wad going on. It was made worse by awful sound mixing and terrible "spitfire -in-space" concept. I did like the Weeping Angels return, but again not as much as I thought I should. Matt Smith is much better than I thought he would be, but still he channels Tennent a little to much for my liking. I know he was a popular Who and I quite liked him when he first took the role, but he soon developed only three acting performances; "shouty", "giddy" and "I'm so sorry". Matt will develop into a good Who. And I like Amy too. But is she just a little too familiar with what the Doctor is like? Why had she not made him Custard and Fishfingers (which does work, we have it every saturday now). I do fear for the direction we could be going in. There is a sense of foreboding and not just about these cracks that keep appearing. It's the cracks in the writing and casting I'm worried about. We have some new Who writers, which is good. I read the synopsis to Simon Nye's episode and it sounds interesting. With have some crossovers from the Davies era and they seem to be the wrong ones (what about Paul Cornell). Casting wise Bill Nighy might seem a coup, but he's done some suspect films and don't get me started on James Cordon... Why? Peter Kay was bad enough. If you have to have comedy cameos why not get comedians? Is it any wonder that the series was cancelled when the last episode of the classic series featured cameos from Hale and Pace. So for me the new series could go either way. One things for sure, I will still watch it. Has it jumped the shark? I think it did that a long time ago- maybe the Sylvester McCoy era. I will watch out the corner of my eye, until it becomes the show that I'm not embarrassed by. Doctor Who under the Davies has some parallels with the old serious.

Don't get me wrong I've got nothing against the boy personally, I just think he's a terrible choice for Dr Who. I really don't kmow what the fuck Stephen Moffatt was thinking. Paterson Joseph, David Mitchell or Paddy Considine would all have been much better choices. Tom Baker's too old and too fat to return unfortunately, but Peter Davison on the other hand...now there's an idea...
