There have been few programmes that have made me audibly groan.Last Sunday's special was one of them.

I loved it.There were a few bad moments, the worst being scientifically illiterate CGI (e.g. planet Earth having no clouds or weather, and this not being a huge catastrophe) and the ever-present problem of condensed/compressed storytelling.
IDK if you watched the Sarah Jane Adventures, but, IMO, that kids show proved that the multi-part half hour format still works. I think DW should return to it.

I didn’t. Too young to give a shit about Ace or whoever the other one was.That gobshite Walsh in a sharing circle is just too much to bear.
They should have kept Dhawan as the new face of the Doctor.
To be honest I don’t think the show can decide if it wants to be light enough for kids or laden with nostalgia for the over-40s. It’s a cringeworthy mess as it is.

It has always been that way, I think...People complained it was too dark/scary for kids in the 60s. Mary fucking Whitehouse complained it was too violent and scary during the Tom Baker years... I think it's been accused of being too self referential since at least the 80s..?
I think the quality of writing and direction has fallen somewhat since Moffat left, in fact it's kind of regressed to Jonathan Nathan Turner/Cartmel Masterplan levels, which is probably why the BBC have paid Russell T Davies to come back and do another reset.
Bring back Eric Saward, I say.

It's always had a low budgetUsed to mean wobbly indoor sets and excessive use of abandoned quarries for outdoor sets, now means cheap and nasty CGI.

It was quality CGI, really high definition.It was a really good CGI globe, but it had no weather. Not a cloud in the sky from Iceland to South Africa! The CG cyber-planet quarry set looked suitably cheap and shite though.
Some of the best stories are zero-budget single-set bottle episodes, IMO.
