Shatner must be drinking Klingon wine.

I don't even think of season 11 as doctor who, it's a boring soap opera with some sci fi element's.

I wonder if Phillip Hinchcliffe would like to come out of retirement and executive produce Dr Who again.

It's another 'if only'. One can dream I suppose....

Adric was an aggravating tit. I must admit trebor, I was glad to see him go. But Earthshock was a gem of a Dr Who story. One of Davison's best. Can't say that about any of Jodie's stories. Not one story gets my vote. A season you wish could be cast into biggest black hole the universe can offer up.

How do you know? You said you weren't watching it.

What i've seen of it so far. There's always a slight temptation to pull back the veil and watch. But from what I have seen, it's absolute bollocks. I've had to cleanse myself after watching 'it' with some classic Who.

That pretty much sums up Nu-Who in a nutshell for me.
