It was like they have run out of ideas and recycled a bunch of old ones. It was so boring I had to keep looking at the clock waiting for the merciful end. If this is the best that they can do its better to cancel it and bring Russell T Davies back to write a 2 hour sendoff. Makes me appreciate the Christopher Eccleston and Tennant years and Smith to a slightly lesser degree. If they cancel it or keep it on, I could care less. Just remembering the historical episodes with Shakespeare and how good Rose was and The Master, Captain Jack this current one is totally lacking.

I admit that I am a hard sell for TV and movies. If I see a program one time, in general; I do not want to see it a second time. I also do not like reworked series and movies. With science fiction there has to be some logic that could make the subject plausible. I was not like that all my life. When I first watched TV and went to the movies everything was new. Maybe we are running out of 'new' or fresh material?
All that said; I still enjoy seeing most of the old Dr Who series with only a few exceptions like when Peter Capaldi was trapped in the castle for 10,000 years and I lived every one of these years with him! Unfortunately for the new Jodie Dr I am going to wait 10,000 years before I can forget how much I disliked the new series!
