You said “its 2010, old school who style doesn’t work”, thats just a false statement, because its actually drawing a bigger audience outside of the UK than the first 4 series of the new who did. So the viewing figures, globally, is higher than it has been before. So your argument is invalid because the numbers prove you wrong.

Its like every other “overnights” this series… the figure will jump up again when the official figures come in, but in the meantime people try and use the “unofficial” figures to point out how more brilliantly THEY would have done things. :scoffs:

Unfortuntely many people have concentrated on the overnights rather then the finals for S5.

The overnights have proven to be completely unreliable.

@pirko

yeah i agree that moffat was done a good job…but not completely got rid of everything that makes the series far-fetched,
I liked RTD’s final with the sound of drums, great story, massive plot twists, no prophercy c**p, no over the top action scenes and the story was all based on charector.
That to me, it what doctor who is about, obvoiusly we need the occiosional action scene, but nothing ridiculas like the doc being chased by a gaint claw. ect

ALSO massive thumps up to moffat for getting having NO episodes (other than the short clip at the start of the eleventh hour) set in London! World record in my opinaion

@Steve
Except Victory of the Daleks, but never mind ;]

@e.p

haha yeah my bad

@Steve
Far fetched? It’s a show about a nine hundred year old alien, who can completely change his appearance, and travels through time and space in a space ship disguised as a police box, fighting monsters. Far fetched is written into its very DNA!

@TWWL

Yeah well its a fictional story, so its obviously going 2 have things that arn’t true
Doctor Who is about time and space and the Doctor and his companions, well thats wat the classic series’ was about.
RTD did a great job at the start, ill give him that, but then it started 2 turn just into loud music while running down corridors, unessisery action scenes, more loud music while the doctor relises somthing and the jokes. Im not saying that series 5 didnt have that (The Beast below, Victory of the Daleks) but that was just (in my opinion) so that people can slowly get used 2 the new way doctor who is, if moffat changed it too quickly then lots of fans would complain.
