Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 Hello everyone ... My sister in law was asking me today if they're still showing new episodes of Dr.Who with Jodie Whittaker, we don't seem to be getting any here on BBC America.

John Laidlaw Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 Hi Dennis, The last episode that went to air was "The Timeless Children" back at the beginning of March. The next will be "Revolution of the Daleks", but there appears to be no predicted air date. I have heard talk of it not coming back until 2021, but can't for the life of me remember where I heard that. And there's @davecov with a proper answer 😀. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Heard from a Dalek wandering by) I once heard a Dalek singing 'we're off to see the wizard, the wonderful wizard of Oz' as it trundled past me. I've also heard a group of them singing 'Happy Birthday' to a young child. Very surreal... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also had a water pistol hidden in its gun stick which caught one or two people out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was aired on TV last night on the ABC network ( 2 January ) here in Australia. Mostly enjoyable despite thunderstorms in my region pixilating the digital broadcast for most of the program. The time date at the end was MMXXI. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hadn’t watched it for quite a while but did catch this on “catch up” tv last night. I noticed the sets and production values had increased! However I thought it a bit flat. The story didn’t have the punch of old. Not much tension and the new Doctor comes over as the scatty customer in the Co-op supermarket. Even the Daleks seemed a bit tame. Familiarity and past sell by date perhaps 🤔 Mildly enjoyable but wouldn’t watch episode 2 if there was one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spruecutter96 Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 I flicked over to watch the new Daleks episode the other night. I lasted about two minutes, before concluding there were better things to waste my life on. I'm sorry, but I can't take the modern version seriously any more. Chris.

Graham Boak Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 As opposed to taking John Pertwee or Tom Baker or Sylvester McCoy seriously? Just asking, but "taking seriously" and "Dr Who" don't seem to belong in the same sentence. It's a children's programme and always was. Old Fogey's (like us) opinions don't count. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad to see you gave it a good bite of the cherry then. 4 hours ago, Graham Boak said: As opposed to taking John Pertwee or Tom Baker or Sylvester McCoy seriously?

Or, as Gerard Garrett was quoted on the back of those Target novelisations, 'Doctor Who, the children's own programme which adults adore.' 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spruecutter96 Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 The ability to see something is not worth watching quickly is a useful trait to have. I can appreciate that this episode was probably watched and enjoyed by millions, but I'm definitely not one of them. If I want to watch some deeply-woke rubbish, I'll go to Discovery Series 3 for my weekly dose. Chris. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Poultney Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 Most of the latest episodes don't seem to be worth watching, although the chri----- sorry, new year special was halfway decent. I'm enjoying star trek discovery S3, but it does have its fair share of cringe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had very high hopes for Series 3, considering the time-travel aspect means they could effectively throw the old rule-book away. A few episodes in and I was wondering if I'd bother watching to the season's end. The episode involving the "symbiant pool" (EP.3 ?) was one of the worst TV episodes of any series EVER. Just total cobblers... Considering the MASSIVE amounts of money Discovery costs to make, I believe they could do a MUCH better job of writing it. But this is what happens when TV is written to an agenda, however "current" that agenda may be. Chris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Discovery but I am always thinking that if I was an attacking force I could easily destroy their ship whilst they are engaged in such long meaningful, soul searching conversations. More photon torpedos, less soul searching. Pennyworth is pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This mob are about as much use as a chocolate fire-guard, when you boil it down. Chris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RACETRACK Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Jodie Whittaker has,as rumour has it , quit due to adverse ratings and reviews of the latest adventure. Lets hope Chris Chibnal quickly follows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, I feel sorry for her - she had the potential to be a great Doctor, but was let down by woeful scripts. Basically Dr Who has lost its edge completely since the days of Ecclestone/Tennent. The first couple of episodes with Jodie had me reaching for the sick bag, but I gave the Xmas special a go as, well, Dr Who at Xmas is as traditional as turkey. But was not surprised to be disappointed. The worse comes at the end with the announcement of who will be in future episodes. I won't give it away for those who don't know.

As soon as the scripts became all about fighting social injustice instead of monsters and aliens, it was toast. Not Jodie's fault, but that of the overly PC script writers who cant hold a candle to Steve Moffat's best efforts. Now if they recast Idris Elba to be the Doctor trying to cancel the Dalek apocalypse, that I could watch.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
