He's ruled out a 20th anniversary special of NuWho. To be fair, he already did three of them last year anyway... Actually he didn't. Are you implying I'm wrong and therefore criticising me?

The fact that "Timewave" is considered some kind of embarrassment and a top 10 worst episode by a lot of Red Dwarf fans annoys me on an almost irrational level

I don't think there's an episode that is below a five. I'm not a huge fan of it myself though the stuff with Johnny Vegas is hilarious.

Yeah that was one of the better 'new' ones I thought. An accurate portrayal of the victimhood generation.

It was okay, but I DO think that introducing the idea of there being hundreds of humans out there was a pretty big deal for just one episode. The Dwarfers aren't alone anymore.
It also was a bit of a repeat of things we've seen before like a monster being created from Rimmer's neurosis (with Barrie even using a similar voice to the self loathing beast and Holovirus Rimmer. That's his go to bad guy voice. To be fair it is hilarious haha.)

Sometimes the "Dave" era can feel a little bit overpopulated.

Series 12 is generally the best of the newer ones. Cured wouldn't look out of place in Series 5 or 6.

I'd have cast Richard Armitage.

Because of your skin colour and you blowing him in the audition. That's why.

I'd have cast Richard Armitage. Interesting choice. I've seen him in Spooks, and North and South. I'm not sure what he'd be like with the quirkier aspects of the Doctor, but he seems like a pretty good 'serious' actor based on what I've seen. A bit like Eccleston without the accent.

The quirkier aspects of the Doctor aren't very important to me. I think Armitage could handle them just fine, but if he can't, then I'd just make him eccentric through the dialogue/props/costumes like with Pertwee.
But being able to command the room and wield authority is so vital. When the Doctor walks into the room, it should be an event unto itself.

I just have no confidence in the writers. What on paper should be a great Doctor will just get f*cked away by the NuWho conception of the Doctor's character. We saw all this with Capaldi.

I've said it several times, but if you really want to get to the heart of the character, go back to William Hartnell. He's cold, opinionated, devious, almost cruel. And then he opens up to be hilariously kooky and fiercely loyal. And despite being intensely charismatic and fun to watch, he never takes the limelight away from the companions either. His performance has never been bettered.
