Davies' return: A mainstream success or a tired damp squib?

[iank]

I really hope it all crashes and burns.

Maybe it's mean and spiteful of me, but this shit is an embarrassment to a wonderful, magical show, and I want it taken out back and shot in the head like Old Yeller.

All a glow about it...still give it three stars

Just as important is Ruth Madeley's role as new character Shirley Anne Bingham. We won't spoil too much about her character but it's always a rush to see someone know how to put the Doctor in his place.

The Doctor being bossed around by tiny women. Colour me shocked

It only ever seemed to work for Beatrix Lehmann

I want to be bossed around and tortured by big women. We need more leading ladies who are above 6 foot.

A YT Comment from an industry professional of over 40 years:

Davies is doubling down on the arrogant error. Prediction: the first special will do okay but not great. Second will do slightly less. Third slightly worse than the second. First episode slightly up from the third special. Then down. By episode 4 the show scores worse than the worst of Chibnall and remains a train wreck for the remaining 5 and it is decided to cut off the financial bleeding and Doctor Who is canceled. Been doing this professionally for 40 years. I know what I'm talking about. And that was a very best case scenario. The show could get wiped out in a heartbeat.-

Can anybody see that? It's a link to a clip from the colourised Dalek story. RTD showed it on this morning. If that's the music they are using it sounds completely out of place. Also there seems to be new Dalek dialogue.

And the survey said..... f*ck OFF!

This gets worse with every bit of news. They just had to colourize it, a job they f*cked up, but then we have cuts, changed music and now altered dialog. How then did such a basic f*cking job gets so far from it's original premise? Did they hire Frank Spencer to do the Job? Probably not as even Frank couldn't have messed up this badly!

Russel's asked if The Doctor can regenerate into "identical twins", the journalists themselves are twins, but Russel's responses are...telling, especially if you know there's a certain rumour is going around....

"Keep watching, absolutely anything can happen"

Anyone who has seen Doomsday knows he likes the Daleks more than Cybermen.

Yeah, Russel wrote new lines for the colourization.

I love the guy but he is such a suck-up for the new era.

He said the same thing about Jodie's first couple of episodes as well. They ended up being belters, didn't they?

We all know by now that any "reaction" solicited from any of the old guard is to be ignored as they all know they'll be sent to Siberia at the first sign of dissent...
