Lost interest with Capaldi. Just didn't find him captivating or endearing at all. Then we got female SJW Doctor Who and that was it. Not returning until they replace Whittaker and the show runners with people that want to make DW fun and engaging again.
In the last 24 hours there has been a big increase in speculation that Chibnall has gone and that Pete McTighe has taken over. Jodie's status is uncertain.
If there's any truth to it, there will surely be a statement soon.

An article on the Radio Times says it is 'nonsense'.
Yep, the excitement level has dropped to an all-time low for me too. The baddies here would be something to look forward to before the latest version of the show. If the treatment of the Dalek was anything to go by on New Year's Day they'll just make another pig's ear of them.

I don't think many people would be particularly excited by it - they've been done to death in New Who. I wonder if they were forced upon Chibnall by BBC execs.
Trailer out for University Of Central Lancashire's recreation of 'Mission To The Unknown'.
Mission to the Unknown will premiere on the Doctor Who YouTube channel at exactly 5.50pm BST on the 9th October to mark the anniversary of the original broadcast of the episode, first aired on BBC One in 1965.
The broadcast will be followed by a making-of documentary short created by YouTuber Josh Snares featuring the cast and crew of Mission to the Unknown along with the voice of the Daleks, Nicholas Briggs, original cast member Edward de Souza and actor Peter Purves.
There's been an awful lot of Christopher Eccleston coverage in the media over the last month, because his autobiography has come out. He's given many interviews recently, in which he speaks about his anorexia, mental health, his time on Doctor Who, his dislike of some of the people involved (including RTD), his liking for Moffat, and the War Doctor. He's also made his US convention debut, and is a guest at GallifreyOne next year.
The current season of Doctor Who is still being filmed.
Credit where it's due, they've done some great work here, but of course it's semi-professional at best. The acting so far is dire! It comes to something that the most professional performance is from Nick Brigg's Dalek voice overs!, and they always sound a little ott for my tastes. He should know better really being the current man for the job on tv, being a fan and knowing the sounds of the original voice actors, David Graham and Peter Hawkins. The idea of authenticity here should have overridden the temptation to do his own thing surely?
And to be even more nerdy about it (it is a nerd's dream project after all) the Daleks aren't actually visually accurate either, especially the black Supreme, though they do move well and exactly like the 60s model.

STILL! We have to applaud the effort.
Yes, well done to them. I just wish the sound design was a bit better. He may as well be a man speaking into his IPhone. Couldn't they have added some jungle sounds?
Yes, I thought the idea was to replicate the original exactly, so I think as part of the exercise they've used the same (ancient) recording techniques both visually and in the audio. And there are of course jungle noises in the actual episode..
I wouldn't get too excited. This is the third 'returnee' for Season 12, none of which are particularly interesting. Isn't it about time we had some returning PEOPLE?
After the failure last time of the ploy of having nothing from Who history, it looks as if they're going all out to correct that mistake. It was nonsense. Knowing that the fan base might be split by the gender change, they should have made sure they had some crowd pleasing elements. They only had to look at the history. With the very first change of lead actor they made sure it was a Dalek story for that intro. When the fourth one took over after a very successful run by the third, they had a season full of old monsters.. Daleks, Sontarans and the Cybermen for the first time in five years.
Let's hope these ingredients influence the writing so it doesn't end up being as dull as last season too...
