Try and spin your way out of that one, Russell.

And deservedly so. Although Jodie has 11 entries! Not that I'm a fan, but I wasn't quite expecting that many.

"I had problems with that, and a lot of us on the production team had problems with that — associating Doctor Who with well written, well acted stories..."

When are they just going to sack this fat hack?

I mean, the real World can see just how well his latest attempt has landed, but it only takes a bit of spin ("BBC are running around like mad things") and the bafflingly postively positioned articles in the right place (you seen Empire's take?) and the five people who still watch and enjoy it have all the ammo they need to go "you're wrong! It's brilliant and it is doing juuust lovely. It is YOU that's the problem."


So sadly, to answer your question, no time soon.

Looking forward to the next set of dross episodes when it turns out the Tribe of Gum have been hiding in the TARDIS all this time and plan to enact revenge on the Universe because the fire wasn't hot enough or something... and Dobson's insufferable character is actually a meta proxy for Verity Lambert who will reaffirm to the audience that "The Production Team" always meant the Doctor to be a small black girl who can't fall convincingly..

But sadly I think the reality will be so much more tedious. And I'll see you out there, touchin' that grass, touchin'that grass..

Christ. Did I just kind of quote Groove Armada? 🤣

...and actually didn't the Tribe return in a DWM comic strip...? Have vauge memories of that a long time ago... Makes it even more likely that RTD will borrow the idea but make it a lot, lot worse.
