Stevie G 2016

Tried again with several episodes in season 12. Well, that's several hours of my life I won't get back! The writing is awful. Chibnall hasn't got a clue how to write good sci fi or how to bring something new to the show, so hes basically just returned the whole history of the show. And the , with one line about "when has who you were ever influenced who you are?" or some such cobblers, has basically said "all that retconning doesn't actually matter, and the show hasn't changed". If so, then what was the whole point of the 10 episodes of this series?! Whittaker still has no gravitas, brings nothing new or distinctive to the role, and sadly is never likely to. Oh, how good this could have been given a different show runner, and someone like Ruth Wilson or Nicola Walker as the Doctor. The companions are still wooden, and even Bradley Walsh's turn has become stale. The show is now just a badly written and badly acted hotchpotch of recycled ideas,and no longer worth bothering with. 6 million plus viewers lost says it all.
