@Srirachachau @goddammitsarah He didn’t make many films but he was also a great director, mainly of documentaries. His On The Road with Red Mole is particularly wonderful

@L3wss To me, it boils down to being nice because someone has been murdered. She was still an awful person who did awful things. But I think we can muster some sympathy for someone who probably died painfully and suddenly in her own home

If you have watched Rupert Lowe on Joe Rogan and you are not convinced he is the only man in the country who can even attempt to start saving it then you are beyond help. Farage does not speak like this. 🤷‍♂️

@Maffc_GB @andueza330 This annoys me so much. So many things about the Timeless Children annoy me but the TARDIS still as police box is probably the most egregious

@andueza330 It makes no sense that the TARDIS is already stuck as a police box for a pre hartnell doctor since it wasn't when he stole it (or she stole him) In fact Susan stated in ep1 "why hasn't it changed this time" implying it previously did while they had it

The fans who believe in the Fugitive is between the second and third doctor theory may some of the most delusional people. Her entire character introduction is to estabalish pre-Hartnell incarnations, it makes no sense for to be in between two and three.

I feel like every DW fan has a story like this when it comes to the Christmas Specials. When you're the fan in the family so they kindly join and watch 'The Doctor, The Widow and the Wardrobe', 'The Snowmen', 'Twice Upon A Time' or 'Joy To The World' and *no one* is enjoying it.

I have never been more embarrassed to be a Doctor Who fan than when my mother and sister randomly decided to watch the last 10 minutes of Joy to the World with me.

@HexNoEyes @beeeeeeaan That’ll be me! Terrible storytelling and the revival’s tendency to have characters wang on at length to the Doctor about how great they are in the worst possible form. Absolute nonsense

@beeeeeeaan Still the Timeless Children for me though because it’s the finale that brings in ludicrous amounts of fan service, is almost completely passive in storytelling and I think fractures the series allowing for the Reality War etc to fully break it

@NotAgnor @daveisageneric Oh hello, let me introduce myself… I liked a lot of the episodes but disliked 90% of RTD’s and particularly didn’t like how he interpreted the Doctor. But even I know the gap between first era and second era is a colossal drop

I find it so funny how RTD was universally loved and now he’s universally hated Like he’s managed to annoy nearly every single type of fan in some way, quite an achievement honestly

My opinion on #10's "I Don't Want To Go" changes all the time. But I have a massive amount of respect for Steven Moffat (the Chad that he is) respecting RTD so much that he didn't change #10's final on-screen line in 'The Day of the Doctor'. It says a lot about that friendship.

Now that Russell has successfully killed the show, can we make a clean breast of it and admit that "I don't want to go," while dramatically effective, was also a colossal dick move and a reflexive attempt to poison the fandom against anyone who wasn't him

@DrMatthewSweet Huge huge fan. I got so cross at Dan Simmons’ Drood for essentially being a character assassination of Collins. He’s such a rich and clever and funny writer, and I always enjoy rereading him

Last night I became a new patron of the Wilkie Collins Society. I did my DPhil on him 30 years ago so I’d love to know who’s working on him or reading him now - with a view to organising an event. Who’s a fan? (And here’s a link to the Society website.) wilkiecollinssociety.org

Doctor Who Minus Context: Competitive Tender Era
I don't like being negative, but that statement from RTD is infuriating. Effectively saying: "There never was a Christmas special, we made it up, and if you're disappointed by that it was your own fault for believing me."

@EddJones259480 @TrilbeeReviews The show needs to have non fan producers. Much as it’s been fun to have nods to continuity it’s scuppered the show in the long term and we need to return to not knowing or caring about the show’s history. Respectfully that’s what Big Finish can and should do

If I was in charge of #doctorwho (god forbid); - Do the last RTD special with a "walk into sunset" ending - Rest the show for 3ish years - Bring back with lower budget and a different/new creative team - Unknown Actor for the Doctor - Famous Actor for Companion

@TrilbeeReviews @MMStudios512 A limitation becomes a creative way of working around a problem and would push the production team and performers better. Just because you can approximate something doesn’t mean you should if you can use that budget better elsewhere

@TrilbeeReviews @MMStudios512 I think it’s not so much smaller budget the show needs, as limitations. If there are limitations you think creatively how to work around them. The Gatwa era suffered enormously from a budget that could do everything hugely but frequently for no reason. It meant nothing

@WhovianLife For me i think the show needs someone who isn’t a huge fan, just someone who’s a good show runner with great dramatic instincts. It will steer things away from overdoing the continuity and hopefully get a new audience in and I think those are the important things right now

If the Christmas Special IS RTD’s last episode before he leaves.. who would everyone like to see as the next showrunner for Doctor Who to take it into the future? 💫💫 #DoctorWho

@theistinthought There’s a bus stop across the road from the supermarket. You time your trip so it arrives leaving you half an hour to shop and you’re finished in time for the one going home. Dead easy. Never needed a car and never will do

Question to the ‘walkable city’ advocates who hate cars: If you go to the grocery store and have eight bags (or even four bags) of groceries, how do you get them home? You push around a little cart or something? Sounds bad.
