The Leisure Hive edition

It's Season 18! It's JNT! It's... a lot of standing around. What does /who/ think of this drastic shift in tone?

How would you rate the Williams era as a whole, /who/?

Not as good as Hinchcliffe's, indubitably but how does it compare to JNT?
>>
>>70242815
Depends, does Cartmel count as part of JNT?
>>
>>70242950
As far as I'm aware JNT was producer right up until the show was canned, so yeah I guess.

Maybe you could treat them separately since there was a surge in quality towards the end

Just finished RTD's Midsummer Night's Dream.

+
* It was alright, the main plot of the play was done reasonably well barring a few dumb bits. I laughed. In fact I even enjoyed some of RTD's gay additions.
* No complaints about the cast, they all acquitted themselves quite nicely.
* I've never seen the Pyramus & Thisbe performance done with a sinister undercurrent before, it added some tension to an otherwise notoriously boring part of the play.
* Visually it wasn't as bad as the trailer made it look. Still a bit uglier than your average post-2010 Doctor Who episode, but broadly fine.

-
* It completely fell apart in the last 10 minutes. It seemed like it was going somewhere with Theseus planning to off the players, and I thought perhaps there might be some big finale where the fairies came in and overthrew him or something. Instead...what was that, a heart attack? And no-one even goes off to check on him? Was the iPad bloke in on it? Was he poisoned? Did Hippolyta know about it? Help me out here Russell. (And trying to spin his death as an emotional moment by overlaying it with Thisbe's lament and soppy music made no fucking sense given he was set up as the most evil bastard.) Then the fairies just waltz in and redecorate the place and no-one cares because fuck let's dance! So with that total dramaturgical collapse, we're left watching people dance for absolutely ages while not quite knowing what to make of it.
* Dumb bits - no idea what the fuck was going on with that cliff scene. Felt like he went "we need some action to liven this bit up!" and forgot to make it make sense.
* Murray Gold in thunderously obnoxious mode. It staggers me that the same man who scored Heaven Sent could put something this uninspired out within barely 6 months. The generic "choral shouting aaaargh!!!" made me feel like I'd been dumped straight back in the Tennant era, and everything else was either fluff or distracting. (The sound mixing was dodgy at times too.)

I heard that if the critical reception is good enough the BBC plans to backstab Chibnall and bring RTD back mid-season (They're going to frame Chibnall for some sort of scandal, possibly murder, so that he is forced to step down and BBC saves face)

Why didn't the doctor just regenerate after being fucked by the confession boogieman in Heaven Sent? If he did he could have had a larger amount of time to hit the super diamond wall and still be able to go and bring a copy from the teleport machine and possibly survive.

A bit, I guess. So is most of the show, but certainly not Douglas Adams funny.

>>70242815
Bad stories, for the most part. A few jokes don't change that, and the criminally low production values definitely don't help. If you take out the ones that feel like Hinchcliffe's warmed leftovers (Fang Rock and Fendahl) and the three that Adams wrote himself (one of which wasn't even completed) you're left with maybe three or four stories that I like.
Better than JNT at his worst, but not as good as JNT at his best.

>We decided that the new companion was going to be non-white, and that was an absolute decision, because we need to do better on that.

How does /who/ feel about the fact that the race of the new companion was already decided prior to actual casting? How does /who/ feel about the fact that they categorically ruled out white people for the role? But the BBC still has no agenda, right?

You aren't actually expecting people to be heartbroken at Moffat deliberately creating the second non-white TV companion in 52 years, you're just trying to start a dumb meme fest.
>>
http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/Tooth_and_Claw_(comic_story)
>>
>>70271192
I'm very against literal tickboxing, but this complaint seems kind of trivial in the grand scheme of things. I'm pretty certain no black actresses auditioned for Amy or Clara, as Moffat probably wrote them with the intention of them being white.

Same with Bill, Moffat will have written her knowing she was a black character. Plus, the last 'coloured' companion we had was Martha (8 years ago).

It doesn't really bother me. What would bother me, however, is if they only auditioned black people or women for the role of the next Doctor. And before people say "only white people have auditioned for the Doctor", Moffat said in his recent DWM interview that the part was offered to a black actor in the past but he turned it down.

I'm a little annoyed that "non-white" always seems to mean black. They are way over represented on British TV. Where are all the Asians? There are far more of them in the UK.

Chris Chibnall is a terrible choice for the new showrunner.

Personally I would've picked Gareth Roberts. He'd do a great job. He really understands Doctor Who.

very funny mate

hey it's the guy from the Top Gear threads who's obsessed with this black guy
hi!

>>70274478
RTD wrote a Who book at a time when virtually no one cared, Moff helped Cornell write on and did a short story, they both kept up with Big Finish and read DWM during the gap years. It's clearly more than just another writing job for them.

I like Harkness and Mathieson as writers, but they don't have the showrunner experience of Chinballs.

Moffat found the best possible. Not a fan of Chinball's Dr Who eps, but he has proven success as showrunner with Life on Mars, Broadchurch etc.
>>
>>70274497
Piss off Gareth.
>>
>>70274546
Sleep No More, say no more.
>>
>>70277072
it's better than dinosaurs desu
>>
>Rusty made his gay fanfiction canon
>Moffat isn't aware Backspace is a thing
>Chibnall is just writing straighforward action plots

He can't be all bad. Not the best choice, but could be worse like Mark "I keep regurgitating old who episodes" Gattiss.
>>
>>70276109
Jeez. He's aged more in the last 5 yrs than in the 20 yrs b4.
>>
Which eps has Chinballs written?
>>
>>70277256
the worst ones
>>
>>70277106
But Dinosaurs is fun and has Brian
>>
>>70277276
Adrft and Exit Wounds are two of his best TW eps, but they're sort of marred by all the shite leading up to them
>>
>>70277276
That doesn't really narrow things down very much.
>>
>>70277256
42, Dinosaurs on a Spaceship, Power of Three. Some of more maligned Torchwood.
>>
>>70277256
>how do i use the internet?
>>
>>70277106
Nah. Dinosaurs was worse. Even the combo of excellent actors like Matt Smith/ Gillan/ Darvill/ and cool af Mark Williams couldn't save it.
>>
>>70277460
>Dinosaurs was worse
but that's what I said

>a story with velociraptors, the fake Hartnell, Queen Nefertiti, and Rupert Graves waving a big-ass gun is worse than a found-footage story about eye crusties coming to life
>>
>>70277630
Dinosaurs on a Spaceship was shite from the start. At least Sleep some More started out well and was reasonably entertaining until the ridiculous explanation.
>>
>>70277914
Sleep no More was dull as hell, slowly grinding toward unsatisfying resolution. I mean, somewhere else it might be a good resolution, but on Doctor Who plot not making sense and random events happening for no reason does not qualify as actual foreshadowing because it is indistinguishable from genuine writing.
>>
>>70277403
>more maligned Torchwood.
>>
Can we at least agree that Dinosaurs on a Spaceship is pretty much the best episode of series 7?
>>
>>70278091
No.
>>
>>70278155
Well we should.
>>
>>70278174
Happy you enjoyed it btw, even tho I thought it was crap. But I've without doubt enjoyed eps that you thought were crap.
>>
>>70278091
I think Bells Of Saint John was the best but I don't think it was a very good episode either. Just goes to show how mediocre S7 was I guess.
>>
>>70271792
Amy was Scottish, and Clara from Blackpool. Ethnic minorities are rare in those British locations.

However, London has a much higher black/ethnic percent of population (40%).
>>
>>70279308

I thought that guy scanned her and detected "Lancashire" in Journey?

>tfw no one ever cares about Mickey
>>
>>70279389
Erm. Blackpool is in Lancs.
>>
>>70279808
Mickey doesnt count as a companion and neither does Liz Shaw
>>
>>70280399
y?
>>
>>70280399
>and neither does Liz Shaw
I think Liz is more of a companion than Mickey, but Mickety actually got to ride in the TARDIS
>>
>>70280494
because liz shaw was shit and looked like a man and mickey was a hallucination the Doctor had and wasn't actually there
>>
>>70278055
Someone actually said, "Yeah that's a great idea!"

That's Gareth! was the spiciest meme /who/ ever came up with.

no

>>70282315
Hi Mark! Just because Gareth will be showrunner WAY before you doesn't mean you have to be so salty!

How's the Sleep No More sequel coming along?

Gareth has tonnes of scripts currently awaiting BBC approval! Unlike some!

I want a Doctor vs. Krampus Christmas special actually, it's like the last bit of tradition/mythos stuff they haven't touched.

>>70282527
He was in the Twelfth Doctor christmas comic with the Celestial Toymaker.
>>
>>70282527
i want them just to have a normal story for the Xmas special, but just have it set at xmas
>>
>>70282576
...well scratch that, then, they've used all the traditions. Unless maybe they do an audio about Ten getting the last room at the inn.
>>
>>70282621
Well. It was only a small cameo.
