Doctor Who *Spoilers Abound! We've lost Containment*

Who had Jesus and a T-Rex on their bingo card?

That episode was sort of a mess.

Yes, it was.

The Doctor Who Christmas episodes have become increasingly shit. When the first one was broadcast in 2005, it felt like a bonus for the fans that had supported that high risk first season of New Who. But they quickly became a lumbering, laboured attempt to invent a tradition and to shore up the BBCs cratering Xmas viewing figures.

(When I were a lad, the BBC owned Xmas day from the Queens speech until bedtime. It was a merciless ITV-crushing schedule of big movies, Top of the Tops, and Morecambe and Wise.)

And once again, Ncuti's Doctor burst into tears. The inflationary spiral of bawling that I posted about upthread continues.

I’m willing to forgive a lot of timeywimey hand waving in who but that felt particularly egregious. I think 15 could be a great Doctor but will need some better writing to work with than that.

This reminds me I haven't watched any of the Gatwa season past the first one. Need to get on that.

I got my son to watch half an episode of DW with me. For him and his FASD (think AuDHD) that is really good.

Best thing, my black son’s first doctor will always be Ncuti Gatwa. And if that is the only good thing that comes from this that will be amazing.
