Yet another ridiculous big bad reveal with rearranging letters! How many times has RTD done this. It wasn't an anagram it was a portmanteau. I'm obviously too old for Dr Who now anyway because apparently the new crap is only enjoyed by under 30 year olds now. That's why they brought back a character from 1975 and changed him into a silly dog and then killed him with walkies.

Stephen Fewell is credited on the physical release of the pyramid of sutekh, however its on the inside of the linear notes under the pictures, and on the back cover where the cast is credited it says additional cast member credited on inside, please check when you have finished listening. I think this is the only time they jave done that.

His Big Finish stuff is phenomenal. "The Box of Terrors" was also initially meant to be a Sutekh story, rather than Omega. It works both ways but I think I'd have preferred Sutekh. You can easily see how he would've fit in, I think. Titan Comics also did a really good job with him.

What a fascinating debate! I think the truth of the matter is a mix of both viewpoints. I love the old Target novelisations quote: "Doctor Who---the children's very own programme which adults adore." Barry Letts said the production office received letters from university professors, didn't he? He and Terrance Dicks began to realise just how broad the audience was. Growing up in 1970s UK, Doctor Who truly was a family event. Everyone knew who Tom Baker was. It's very different today.

Gotta disagree, you don't get like 1/6th of the country watching something made only for Children. If it was for Children the Children's department would have made it, and there was some internal fuss over that as they believed they should be making it. They didn't get to because it's a *family* show. I watched with my parents *because* they'd been watching it since 1963 and kept watching it until I was born and beyond. Heck they kept watching until like 2020, it's only recently they've lost interest. If they'd been always targetting the younger audience of that era everything outside your own childhood wouldn't appeal. If it didn't have mass appeal you wouldn't watch stuff before your time or after it. This is definitely a change. It's a shame that your parents didn't like Doctor Who, but I think the reason it's been so successful is that it became a generational thing. Most kids were introduced to it by their parents, its not a case of their parents watching because the kids do (I don't watch most of watch my kids do, and when they did like the show which was mostly Smith era) it was me introducing it to them. Sadly I can't get them to watch this new era (they did watch Jodie, I think for girls having a female Doctor was a big enough draw even if scripts declined).

Doctor Who has always courted young viewers instead of growing up with the old ones, it's what makes DW better than comics & video games which have to toe this weird line of being childish, but with graphic sex & violence. The reason Big Finish only has the budget to produce audio-only content, is bc the audience it appeals to isn't large enough to fund an actual show. I'm a Whovian, but I'd never buy a Big Finish audio, unless I was suffering from insomnia.

BBC original broadcast in Ireland and I think it may even have been on RTE too separately which Who never has been. Years later in 1987-1990 on new cable TV we got Super Channel which allowed us to see the first 3 seasons again. This was great. Then on VHS in the early to mid 1990s to collect. Then finally upgrades on DVD in the early 2000s.

From what Russell T Davis and Jinx Monsoon have indicated I believe it’s being made for the new progressive generation and not for the long term fan like me (turning 55 in a month). I’m glad you’re enjoying the current the Doctor Who, but to be honest I can’t stand it. I lost interest after Whitaker’s first season and then tried again with this new Doctor, but nothing has improved and the story telling is so god awful. I still purchase the Big Finish audios and blu rays up to the Capaldi era, as that is where I believe Doctor who ended,and everything after that is a spin off alternative universe. For God sake do you really believe Sutekh was hanging on to the Tardis all that time? This is fan boy fiction and even Russell T Davis has admitted he had this idea when he was 15 . Btw just discovered your channel and have subscribed. Looking forward to watching more of your episodes.

Did you think cringey-dialogue Peter Crap-oldy was good? Disney-Who season 1 + the 60th specials have actually been an improvement. Just compare stories like Wild Blue Yonder & The Giggle with End of the World & anything with the Slitheen in. Also, they haven't brought back the Daleks or Cybermen, it's too bad they brought back Sutekh though. It could have been the only series since series 11 that didn't rely on the bring-back-old-characters crutch.

@@FreeAssange There may have been some cringy dialogue in Capald’s 3rd season when the increasing BBC wokeness started to creep in, but Capaldi was a great actor and still managed to pull it off. I thought he was a fantastic Doctor, where as Gatwa doesn’t seem to have the gravitas to play the Doctor. He’s either over the top joyful or crying in every episode. Now I don’t mind emotion, but if your crying on a regular basis, you don’t know when he is really upset. A bit like crying wolf all the time. Obviously this isn’t completely the actors fault as Davis has written him this way, but to me he just isn’t the Doctor. But once again I’ll state I’m glad your enjoying it, but I’m not and it’s not for me, but there’s plenty of other Doctor who in different forms (novels, audios, Blu ray etc) that we can all find some enjoyment. The other last thing I’ll point out is David’s lazy story telling full of plot holes. He just keeps throwing out mystery boxes and none of it gets answered. Why did it snow around Ruby? If. What hidden song did Maestro detect with in Ruby. Why did the Doctor say time had changed when he went back to Rubys past. All these red herrings and Ruby wasn’t special at all. And I just can’t believe Sutekh would really give a damn about Ruby’s mother or story etc . Clara ‘s story didn’t seem to concern him and she was way more mysterious.This is a God who wants to destroy everything and he’s worried about a girl who can’t find her mother. And don’t get me started with the 73 yards episode. Boom was probably the only tolerable story this season and even that had its faults.

@@thetasigma1905 I was talking about all the cringey, unfunny "jokes" Moffat put in the dialogue & the long, meaningless speeches. And no, I'm not enjoying it. It's still Nu-hu. RTD has always been the laziest "writer" in the universe, whose stories are riddled with plot-holes. All the Nu-hu actors were wrong for the role. The Dr is an eccentric, magniloquent, asexual character, not some bloke, like Eccleston, not Casanova, like Tennant. Both of them were always grinning like imbeciles, crying their eyes, our screaming in a fit of hysteria. That's why my I'm being consistent, while you aren't & no amount of BS about "bad writing" will cut it. Nu-hu has always been defined by its terrible writing. That's what Nuvians love about the show, hence why they dislike the original show. How did you feel about the 60th specials?

@@FreeAssange I loved Moffats sense of humour, the lack of any humour is always a mark of a bad season of Who, but that humour needs to be in the characters, not in some nonsense like belching bins or friggin' "Space Babies". Argh Space Babies. NuWho initially was been defined by inconsistent writing (usually the difference was RTD vs any other guest writer at all, because despite all you say every other writer in series 1 got what Who should be). Nothing in NuWho felt more classic Who than the end of Moffats era. The Zygon Invasion, Under the Lake, Oxygen, World Enough and Time - they all felt like lost stories from 70s. The long meaningless speeches? Gee I guess classic Who never did that. I mean the Zygon Inversion didn't make anyone think of Battlefield.

For me, RTD is making the same mistakes as the Lost series. Putting many mysteries in the show to be explained at the end in the poorest way possible.

Me and my best friend are poles apart over the latest DrWho, both of us are the same age, yet can't agree with this latest incarnation. I want something where 5 year old kids can watch and be scared, I don't want to see 2 blokes kissing that is not what DrWho is about, this show has too much sexualisation for my tastes which is not the essence of the programme. So is Rtd just writing it for Gay Blokes ? Its obviously more complicated than that, it's a tired trope to label anyone racist if they don't like the lead man these days, his skin colour or sex orientation has nothing to do with it. We have poor writing perhaps and the double down on Wokisms since the Capaldi era have got worse causing an ever widening divide in Fandom, my mate doesnt notice any of it, while it drives me mad ! BUT the fact remains we Never slag each other off over our different opinions, what antagonises things is troublesome articles like a British newspaper rag METRO claiming DrWho was never made for white straight men, in the first place so leave if you dont like it. People are blatantly goading and upsetting others, because it holds no consequences, because they know, nobody is going to knock their door and punch them on the nose, its a sad state of society now and Fandom of any cult show obviously brings the Whacko's and odd bods to the front line too

The final series was such a glossy overhaul, I'm surprised they didn't go with the Radiophonic Workshop for the incidental music as they did with Dr Who. Might've been a bit of a kick in the teeth for Dudley Simpson, though. Would've meant another BBC lunch to break the news and completely blown the budget of £24.50 an episode.
