Yeah I remember reading similar headlines when Jodie was announced as the next Doctor. Same assholes, different day. I’m more concerned that the first few episodes have had terrible writing.

Space Babies was OK. I liked the bit where the Doctor stared dead into the camera and explained the allegory. That was funny.

The rest have been a load of wank. I had hoped that a bit of time off might have curbed some of RTD's excesses, but alas.

And Moff's script just seemed ... tired. Like he just couldn't do it any more. Blah blah, arms suppliers are bad, fish fingers and custard, love will save the day, something something atheism, ... .
