Currently my offspring are insisting on watching Trolls. Threats of disinheritance are failing.

Doc Who
I am quite enjoying the new Doctor, like others here I don't like the Beebs very thinly disguised attempts at pushing their PC message - reminds me a little of the original star trek which always tried to deal with the great social issues of the time.
That said it is fun enough to watch and the kid in me likes it still.Comment

No, it went downhill when Jenna Coleman overstayed her welcome, combined with poor scripts that even a great actor such as Capaldi couldn't do much with, and reached it's nadir with the representation of a dim student snowflake assistant with no redeeming features. Since Whittaker has assumed the role, it's definitely improved. Her character is definitely the Doctor, as opposed to Missy who never really was the Master (too needy).
I understand that wokeness is a trigger for you. For me it's just a mild irritant that I can largely ignore. It too will pass.Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!Comment

It's pissing off the Daleks too, which is A Bad Move.

Golden age of Dr Who for me was the period from Ecclestone up to and including Matt Smith.
Capaldi might have been good, but the poor stories let him down initially (I gather they got better but I'd stopped watching by then).
As for the latest incarnation... Sorry, but for me the Dr has to be male. And why not? Not everything on the planet has to be gender neutral surely?Do what thou wiltComment
