Is anyone watching Dr Who at midnight?

[Pixiesgirl]

I might if I'm awake, I was such an RTD fan girl but tbh he seems to disappeared up his own rectum ].
Intruiged to see the new Disney episodes though.

Oh god did not enjoy, also got banned from reddit for posting a negative
opinion, wtf?

Oh dear was it shit? Tbh I was a massive DrWho fan but cba with the new stuff. We are rewatching from the Chris Eccleston era though with the family atm and loving it.

It was different. I'm not sure what I think.

Has RTD gone mental? That was awful.

Oh dear.
Thought they might pull it back around ... loved chis, David and Matt as dr who.

Thought about it. Realised my enjoyment of Dr Who is very much tied to the Saturday evening ritual - not interested in watching alone on a laptop in the middle of the night. So I’ll wait for the ‘proper’ broadcast.

Surely they weren’t both dreadful??

Agree that’s it about the Saturday evening ritual. Having said that I couldn’t watch tonight as busy. So had a watch just now.
Space babies- not a fan
But I enjoyed ep 2

Fun with enough of a story and hints at future episodes.

agree, totally shit

Just watched episode 1. Hope episode 2 is better...

Is it scary at all? Watching this evening with DS who's 8.

No it wasnt scary I don’t think.

Can you share why it was so awful, without major spoilers? (Confusing/unconvincing plot, RTD trying to be too woke, bad pacing, etc.) I enjoyed the Christmas special but haven't made my mind up as to watching the new season.

What Disney episodes?

One was dire now watching two so really hope the same.

My considered opinion is that episode 2 was a lot better than episode 1.
Except the last 5 minutes - wtf?

I like these two together.

Loved going out to watch the AB with the teens, then back at midnight for the Dr Who drop.

I was shocked by the change in RTD output. Not good. But teens loved it. They thought the babies were hilarious.

Please please don't go silly on us RTD.

We'll I'd agree with it better than episode 1 but still dire - acting seemed stilted and odd from Dr and companion, story thin though costumes and lighting were good.

Compared to 2000 Dr Who it's a shadow of it's former self and struggled to keep anyone's attention here.

Good writing would have had those song and dance scenes especially with musical villain ( a high point mostly) as part of plot not tacked on at end like that.

We now watching Dead Boy Detectives - which is keeping everyone but DH attention.

I caught the start of this thread earlier and was like "not reading this, they can't ruin it for me."

Yeah it's crap.

Preachy as well

Truly dreadful.

Enjoy the 70s Drs so much more on Iplayer

Shirley ballas and Johannes!

i enjoyed space babies
eventually

For me it just has no depth or nuance anymore. I didn't love the three specials, but was hoping for more with the new series. But they seemed to have turned the glib up 100% (maestro actually freaked me out, not in a good way)

Maybe extra Disney money was a mistake. I don't understand though, I could look past the rtd'isms in the past I have loved a lot of his stuff.

Let's see what Moffat offers next time.
