They destroyed this show with modern audience bullshit. It used to be a great escape from reality, and now it’s just more propaganda. It really sucks because Jodie Whittaker and Ncuti Gatwa could have been soooo much better at the roles if it weren’t for the horrid writing.
David Tennant and Matt Smith were peak Doctor Who. Even Eccleston (the twat) had a great story arc…
I am hopefully going to get the chance to talk to Jodie in the next couple of months(Denver fan fest), and I am going ask her how she tolerated the writers for her episodes. (I have a bit to figure out how word that nicely.
She is probably my second favorite Dr to Tennant, FWIW.
She won’t talk negatively about them. None of them will. Not for not wanting to, I’m sure - but out of professionalism. I don’t think any of the previous actors would either. Although…maybe Eccleston would (the twat)…
Dude, what is your beef with Eccleston?
His refusal to show up as the doctor for anything fan related, his own dislike for the show, etc. He’s a twat.
He played a character on a TV show 20 years ago. That doesn’t in any way obligate him to “show up as the Doctor” for fan events, nor does it indicate his “dislike for the show”.
There is certainly a twat at play here, but it isn’t Eccleston.
He also has done a bunch of conventions and returned to play the Doctor for Big Finish multiple times lol.
As far as I can tell he has no problem with the role or the fans, he just has a beef with the BBC/Russell T. Davies over how he was treated.
