Both fairly boring, cartoonish characters on paper, - the archetypal "black-suited mustache-twirling villain" and "clueless sidekick/damsel in distress" - but they're elevated by the performances from Katy Manning (who could fit your entire tackle in her mouth) and especially based Delgado.

Mr Philip Hinchcliffe,

BBC Producer, ‘Doctor Who’
5th January 5977

Dear Mr Hinchcliffe,

I’m writing to say that with the most recent episode of ‘Doctor
Who’, part one of the story ‘The Face Of Evil’, I shall no longer be
watching the programme. It seems to me that it has lost the
particular qualities it once possessed, that certain ‘magic’ that made
Saturday teatimes so enjoyable. feel strongly that ‘Doctor Who’ has
lost its innocence.

In the days of UNIT and the Brigadier one could
always tune in and rely on a good story with both its feet on the
ground. With the Doctor living on Earth like us, there was always
the feeling that the stories could actually happen. But since the new
Doctor took over, the stories have become far too way-out and
science-fictional.

‘Doctor Who’ is all about monsters and invasions. Now we rarely seem to have armies of monsters, but just one or two creatures or a villain.

The stories themselves take place on strange
alien planets most of the time, and there is a certain lack of
originality in the re-telling of staples from the horror movies –
Frankenstein, walking Egyptian mummies and, more recently, the
disembodied hand, for example. Hoary old clichés all.

Now that Sarah has left the series the last link to normality has
gone. The new girl is a barely dressed savage killer, again
sacrificing the ingenuity and middlebrow intellectualism of the old
‘Doctor Who’ for the gory thrills and cleavage beloved of those
laughable, creaking Hammer Horrors. Doctor Who himself is a
brooding, sombre Bohemian, and is very difficult for us to identify
with.

He’s not the warm, cuddly ‘uncle’ figure he used to be. The
general level of morbidity is misplaced in a series that was‘Doctor Who’ has
not become adult, Mr Hinchcliffe. With its clumsy shock tactics and
affected amorality, it has become adolescent.

Mr Graham Williams

Producer, ‘Doctor Who’
22nd October 1979

Dear Mr Williams,

I have enjoyed ‘Doctor Who’ for many years, but I’m afraid that,
following the increasingly silly antics of the recent stories under
your guidance, I shall no longer remain a viewer.

The bloodcurdling horror and adult approach to the depiction of
violence and terror shown in the earlier stories of the fourth Doctor
has been swept away. The new stories are lightweight and frothy
and often depart into clever-clever, pseudo-intellectual ‘banter’ that
must baffle most children and embarrass a good proportion of
adults.

Plus the Doctor himself – always a stern figure of authority
from William Hattnell onwards – has developed a marked tendency
for buffoonery. The third Doctor was a man of action and scientific
brilliance.

This Doctor bumbles through his adventures, with
Romana and K9 being much cleverer than him – and thus
seemingly invulnerable to any danger that comes their way.

K9 is an unutterably silly creation, and the attempts to make him ‘sweet’
– getting lost on the river, etc – are merely embarrassing in a series
that only a few years ago, with stories such as the one with the brain
in the tank, was quite deadly serious and all the better for it.
Added to this, the storytelling has become more and more manic

and more and more complex. The recent Mona Lisa story was
incredibly difficult to follow, seeming to move from one location to
the next – modern-day Paris, Leonardo’s studio, the primeval
wasteland – with scarcely time to breathe. There is often just too
much going on, and what is going on is plain daft.

An alien commissioning Leonardo to paint copies of the Mona
Lisa to sell in hundreds of years’ time is certainly an original notion, but not what we have come to associate as viewers with the
simple, straightforward storytelling of ‘Doctor Who’.
>>
>>67571847
As for the scene of Doctor Who and friends trying to hail a taxi in time to save
the human race – preposterous nonsense. This is an adventure series
with a dash of horror, not a bizarre experimental comedy. See also
the ‘scissors cuts paper’ routine between the Doctor and Romana in
the previous story. Wasn’t there a simpler, more sincere, less ‘cute’
way of telling us about the dilemma the poor Daleks were caught up
in?

I can see no signs of improvement to ‘Doctor Who’. The magic
of the Hammer Horror-style stories has evaporated, and I have no
intention of watching any longer.

>Then, as if [Tom Baker] was straying too close to taking any of it seriously, he tells us about going to the hospice to see Nick Courtney on his death bed. ‘Well, I went in and I thought he was already dead. Then he let out this groan, and so I moved closer and I said: ‘Nick, Nick, after a long and eventful and wonderful life such as you’ve lived, and after everything you’ve seen and done, would you say, at the end, that you’re a tits or arse man?’ And there was a long, long pause. And then, with his dying breath, the Brigadier said: ‘Tits! No, arse! No, both, I think!’ And then he expired.’

John Nathan-Turner

The BBC, Producer, ‘Doctor Who’
1st April 1982

Dear Mr Nathan-Turner,

Following the conclusion of the latest series of ‘Doctor Who’ the
night before last, with the Doctor defeating the Master at Heathrow
Airport, I would like to be able to write and congratulate you.
Unfortunately, for me this series has seen the magic inherent in
‘Doctor Who’ slide away somehow, and I will not be continuing to
watch the series.

First and foremost, where are the wit and the lightness of touch
that we expect from ‘Doctor Who’? The new Doctor and his gaggle
of young friends take everything they encounter so very seriously,
often inadvertently rendering it laughable. And if the Doctor doesn’t
seem capable of handling the squabbles between three teenagers,
how can we be expected to believe he can save the universe? He
seems ineffectual at best, responding to even the slightest threat
with a hyperbolic statement of non-specific doom. The previous
Doctor was intelligent, witty, relaxed – a proper hero.

The style and sophistication of the previous Doctor’s cool,
glamorous assistants has been replaced by a dysfunctional band of
brats – often so caught up in themselves and their own petty
recriminations (I’m thinking of Tegan and Adric’s row on the
jungle planet when they were about to be blown sky-high!) that they
barely have time to wonder at their adventures. Romana and K9
were fun!

The quirky and original ideas ‘Doctor Who’ used to generate as a
matter of course – the alien theft of the Mona Lisa, for example –
have been replaced by desperately familiar tropes of aliens
influencing a historical event, or a Cyberman invasion, even the airport disaster movie. There is also a lot of pseudoscientific
bobbins spouting from the actors’ mouths, tying in with a reliance
on button-pushing as a way of plotting or concluding a story.
>>
>>67573425

How
on Earth did the Doctor defeat the Master at the close of last night’s
episode? I caught something about an ‘inhibition factor inherent in
the programming’, I think.

In other words, the Doctor simply
flicked a switch to defeat the Master. That is just not good enough, Mr Nathan-Turner.

In stories like the ‘Creature in the Pit’, or ‘Androids On Tara’, the
Doctor used his ingenuity to defeat his enemies, and I would like to
see this return. And bring back K9!

But then, even if you do, I shan’t be watching ‘Doctor Who’ ever
again.

>>
Dear Mr Nathan-Turner,

I’m writing, frankly, to complain. What have you done to ‘Doctor
Who’? For me, the magic I used to enjoy so much with the previous
Doctor’s stories is suddenly gone.

The fifth Doctor was serious and kindly and heroic, whereas the
new Doctor is brash and boastful. But this is not my main gripe. I
loved the old ‘Doctor Who’ because it was mind-expanding stuff –
the science fiction aspects bordered on the magical, and there was
so much to think about. Lots of freaky ideas.

Like when Tegan got
taken over by the Mara, you could look at it as all the emotions she
had suppressed coming m the fore. Or the city that went round-andround,
or the sailing ships in space, or when the Concorde got taken
back to dinosaur times but everybody thought they were still at
Heathrow Airport. And then there was the huge spaceship where the
lepers came to be cured, and the old church with the huge face in
the crumbling wall. Or when the Time Lords decided to execute the
Doctor for the good of the rest of the universe.

They were all really
clever ideas that I still find myself thinking about, and really
captured my imagination.

‘Doctor Who’ was a real ‘thought’ programme, if you know what
I mean, like ‘The Prisoner’ or ‘Sapphire and Steel’. The
companions were all really different, great characters like Nyssa,
Adric and Tegan, who you felt had lives and opinions about one
another. There was always something surprising around the next
corner – like when Adric died, or when the new companion
Turlough was actually secretly plotting to kill the Doctor. So I don’t
understand why that winning formula has been changed. Peri seems so one-dimensional in comparison to the old companions. And since
the new Doctor came in, there’s been not so much to think about.
The series seems to reflect his personality now, as it’s got cruel and cynical.
>>
>>67573763
>You guys are gonna flip when you see it where I got them.
Why?
>>
>>67573830
The fifth Doctor’s Dalek story was good because it was all about
the Doctor not being able to kill Davros because he feels for
everybody, even the worst villain. The new Doctor doesn’t seem to
care when people around him die, he’s far too interested in himself.

Also, the series seemed to me to be about opening your mind,
being aware of others’ viewpoints, showing that being kind and
gentle was being strong, or at least another kind of strength. I can’t
believe in the Doctor after he set that trap with the poisonous plants
in the Varos story, and killed the people who were chasing him in
cold blood. Like the Doctor, the series has lost the warmth and
positivity it used to have. So that’s why I shan’t be watching any
more.

Dear Mr Nathan-Turner,

I’m writing because I’m dismayed at the new series of ‘Doctor
Who’. It seems to me that something has gone very wrong, the
magic has gone away, and there doesn’t seem to be a single reason
to continue to watch any longer.
I’m talking about what you’ve done to the Doctor himself.

He is a
hero who blunders into danger and then saves the day using wit and
desperate improvisation. In the trial story he was accused of being a
wilful, reckless adventurer who revelled in his own personal
freewheeling through space and time. It turned out in that story that
he was being misrepresented by the prosecutor, and he was
acquitted. Well, 1 hope the Time Lords don’t decide to put him on
trial again after the events of the last few stories, because he’d
definitely be found guilty.

The Doctor I remember would just happen upon some terrible
injustice, like the video torture on Varos, and make up a plan to stop
it as he went along. This new Doctor seems to have it all
meticulously planned out from the start – in the last few weeks he’s
deliberately lured the Daleks and the Cybermen into his traps and
apparently wiped them all out! And even in the Kandyman story, he
hinted to Ace that he knew what was happening on the Happy
Planet and had come there to stop it.

‘Doctor Who’ is about the cold, calculating plans of the monsters
versus the quick thinking of the brilliant Doctor. For example, when
the Vervoids went on their compost rampage, the Doctor thought up
a plan to kill them using the minerals on the space cruiseliner, but
he only did it as a last resort, and at the last possible moment. The new Doctor purposefully went out of his way to kill Davros and all
of the Daleks. This seems to me to be really against the heroic grain
of the character, to be in fact the exact opposite of what ‘Doctor
Who’ is all about.
>>
>>67574193
Also, he is not a violent man and doesn’t carry weapons, but he
pretty obviously knows that Ace is carrying her bombs in her
rucksack and still uses her as a blunt instrument. He is rather callous
to her in general, not explaining what he’s really doing – as if he
can’t trust her or doesn’t think she’s clever enough to understand.
He was never like that with Mel, who felt like a real, proper friend.

The previous Doctor was loud and melodramatic but you felt you
could always rely on him, which is why the twisted evidence in the
trial that showed him being uncaring was so shocking. This new
Doctor is a rather frightening, ambiguous figure, manipulating his
enemies and even his friends.

For that reason, ‘Doctor Who’ has lost its magic for me and I
shan’t be watching from now on.

Alissa Ashanti-Johnson

BBC, Producer, ‘Doctor Who’
24th November 2063

Dear Ms Ashanti-Johnson,

I’ve just synchronised my HeadPod with the latest series of ‘Doctor
Who’, and I feel I must beam this message to you. I have a spare
minute while my nanite spray does its business and the teleport
warms up.

Unfortunately, Ms Ashanti-Johnson, I can’t pretend to have
enjoyed the series. Is this really what we pay £3,658 licence fee a
year to the BBC for? I am a lifelong fan of’Doctor Who’ and have
downgridded all 500 previous stories into my HeadPod (yes, even
those strange colourless ones they thought had been lost but turned
up in 2049 underneath that abattoir) but the new series leaves a lot
to be desired in comparison.

It’s the hundredth anniversary, for Dawkins’ sake. But instead of
giving us the 23 Doctors special we all wanted, you’ve served up
something that has ruined the magic of the programme. Early
showrunners of the series such as Russell T Davies, Steven Moffat,
the malfunctioning BBC robot double of Steven Moffat and
Peaches Geldof would all be ashamed of what you’ve done.

For a start, the new Doctor is far too clean-cut. Where is the
leering, winking and cheeky pinching of bums that we associate the
character with? And what has happened to the TARDIS? It used to
travel anywhere in time and space, but in this new series it hardly
seems to leave the solar system. Setting stories in familiar places
like Jupiter and Neptune is simply boring and unimaginative.

I shan’t be synching any more episodes. A hundred years on, the
magic of ‘Doctor Who’ has finally been destroyed.

>>
>>67588266
It just occured to me, has anyone actually confirmed that the new companion is a woman?
>>
>>67588303
it will be woman, representation and that. maybe if hes part of a man-woman combo.

The only scenario it would be a guy is if the next Doctor is a woman. transition companion.
>>
>>67588303
Capaldi and Moffat have been using feminine pronouns whenever it gets brought up. And before casting they've mentioned having some actresses in mind. I don't think it's been confirmed, but they aren't exactly hiding anything.
>>
>>67588303
It will be another 20-something present day earth bubblehead pretty face

modern audience can't handle or relate to anything other than that 'cause of muh real world anchor

and that's why new who is shit in comparison with the old one
>>
>>67588720
It's not the audience who can't handle it, it's just the people in charge who think they can't. That's why Victorian Clara didn't become a companion.
TV execs have a tendency to underestimate the audience's intelligence and overestimate their own.

As for a Doctor Who story, try Night Thoughts.

>and that's why new who is shit in comparison with the old one

no, fuck you

i wrote this ages ago but its eternally relevant:

I want to stress that I am being 100% serious here (for once):

almost every new who hater i've seen seems to get hard off telling others how much they hate the new series. they shoehorn it into every fucking conversation and bring it up whenever they can to make themselves feel "intellectual" and "superior". in reality, you're neither of these things, you're just a sad old man too stubborn to see through your rose-tinted glasses

i dont care that your opinion is different from mine, i care that you are a pigheaded asshole who refuses to respect the opinion of anyone else. you are a thousand times worse than the rabid tumblr fans you so often whinge about, as if your constant tom baker circlejerk is any better than their one for tennant. has a tumblr fan ever doxxed someone for going against this circlejerk? no. the leisure hive forums (an anti-newwho website), however, doxxed someone for calling their site "a den of twats". how does it feel to know that you and your ilk respond less appropriately to opposing viewpoints than fucking tumblr? tumblr, sjw central, is more tolerant than you are.

piss off. your posts pollute this thread more than mine, and i actually try to make my memes as bad as possible. in fact, your posts dont just pollute the thread, they pollute the entire doctor who community by extension, because i bet youve spread your shit elsewhere like the fucking disease it is. you're a cancer on the series and its fans. stop posting

So they can ban people. I once posted a GB screenshot here and got instabanned. They probably have a script in the images to stalk people and are. But you can use disposable email (there are tons of good ones from bitmessage to eyepaste).

Sometimes you can get around the registration req by changing your useragent to googlebot.

Homo Reptilia is retarded since they're nothing like humans. It's like saying Daleks are Homo Dalekia. Eocene would suit better if you hate Silurian.

>>
Gender fluidity is an imaginary construct made by transgender people who actually want a special name just for them because they're so special, the little special snowflakes. They don't want to be called transgender although it's clearly what they are, because they WANT to create a new sexual/gender identity because they're too special. It's not that they ARE a new gender identity, it's just that they WANT to be one, to be different and special because they're attention whores. Same goes with the pronouns, its total bullshit. Just because they're called xir/xee/whatever autistic pronoun they go by, they feel different because it's not like the regular he/she pronouns that EVERYONE ELSE IN THE WORLD use, and they can't be like us, the little snowflakes. Fuck them.

yup, 6b itself is actually not that bad, one novel, one companion chronicle, probably take me 2 days, 3 tops.

to be honest i think most people who call themselves "genderfluid" aren't even actually transgender

they're almost always white, middle-class tumblrinas whose parents would probably get them reassignment surgery if they really needed it, but by saying they're "genderfluid" they can get around this - if you feel male 50% of the time and female 50% of the time what would be the point in getting a sex change? also it's much "cooler" than just being transgender

gender fluids are butch girls and femimine guys who want a special name to call themselves, that teenage phase.

Transgenderism supports the binary gender thing, since its one person whos born as born but wants to be the other.
