Death of Doctor Who?

[bagpuss63]

I am an lifelong fan of Doctor Who, from Jon Pertwee, but seen earlier eps since. Whoever cast Matt Smith as the latest Doctor, can't be a fan. He's destroyed it-Matt acts the role either badly, or camp. I disliked Donna as assistant, and didn't 'mind' Amy last year, but she's annoying me now, and, as someone said on here last week the storylines are rubbish since Stephen took over full time,and yet one of the best episodes- The Empty Child -was written by him-maybe he can't cope with the pressure.
I REALLY don't want Doctor Who to end, but unless David Tennant returns,or a similar believable actor takes the role, this series will be the end-and poss destroy the love and following that a new generation discovered when it returned in 2005.

Sylvester (sp) McCoy was the worst one.

Not exactly mad keen on this Matt Smith either.

I say bring back Russell T Davies. He cared about the whole thing.

it's been all downhill since William Hartnell left

Lol, jno. Bagpuss, you better get used to Matt Smith, because in last week's episode (which I assume you saw), the future Doctor (200 years into the future) was Matt Smith. Looks like he's got a job for life times three!

[bagpuss63]

It was off air for many years after Sylvester-Matt Smith will kill it permanently...

I liked the dandiness of Jon Pertwee....until The Master turned him into a scarecrow.

[bagpuss63]

I loved Jon because he was my 1st Doctor, but David Tennant is the best,followed by Jon and Tom Baker. Best assistants ever, Sarah jane and Rose

[Arti]

Yes, Bagpuss, I agree. Mr Pertwee was my 1st doctor, too. You never forget your first doctor.....sigh. I also agree regarding Sarah-Jane and Rose, although Martha is up there, aswell.

My favourite was Tom Baker. He was the Dr when I was a kid.

[Mick-Talbot]

? how did Arti know, boxy would appear ?

[Arti]

saw her name in the 'latest posts' panel and figured she'd then see mine in the same place. Mornin', Mick.

[boxtops]

I guessed that too, or either he'd put it in the wrong thread, LOL...

[Mick-Talbot]

morning, Arti
i thought it was because, you were a timelord yourself.

[boxtops]

LOL mick, yeah, and I'm his beautiful assistant.

[Arti]

lol. I already told you that, tomorrow, Mick.

[mickrog]

though id clicked on chatterbox having read last few posts on this thread.

bagpuss i agree......he is a poor actor and will detroy this series

[horselady]

I agree-I've watched it since it first began but just don't like Matt Smith in the role.

I agree with you entirely. I never wanted it to come back to be honest, I was worried about how they would 'update' it. I didn't like Christopher Ecclestone, and thought that David Tennant was marvellous - arguably the best Doctor ever. He was wonderful, the stories were great, and it was a pleasure to watch. Now Matt Smith has taken over, and Stephen Moffat is doing the writing, half the stories are unfathomable. What I hate the most is this inference to the Doctor and his assistant having a relationship, and possibly a child as per the episode last night. Call me old-fashioned, but that's not what Doctor Who is all about.
