Doctor Who 'fresh' back then in the 1970's, with no

A ten year old child in front of the televison in
1976 isn't going to know or care about established
"facts" that you maintain existed.

A 6 year old child in front of the TV is going to figure out
from the start that the person whose face is on the screen is
the one who is winning. The Doctor lost and died. All the
faces after Tom Baker may as well have been those of Morbius
to the uninitiated.

 Says you, because you know the story. I'm not sure a six year
old would actually care about whose faces they were, I was
around ten at the time and I didn't!

I was 6 when I watched it and 8 when I read the novelization.

 

Or care that the producers of a TV show can change things to
suit themselves if they want to, like our friend Mr Chibnall
chose to do with Doctor Ruth!

Stop insulting the intelligence of the audience. Even a 6 year
old child knows more about story writing and can write better
Doctor Who episodes than Chris Chibnall.

 Hmmm... I'm not sure that's actually correct.
 

Did you watch Flux? Of course it's right.

But I say, right or wrong Chris Chibnall was the showrunner of
Doctor Who so they were his calls to make. A female 13th Doctor
and the Fugitive Doctor are part of the show.
 

The were not his calls to make. The character of the Doctor is that of a man and only works written as a man, therefore you can't change him into a woman, nor can you change his origin story otherwise it's not the same character. This is the basics of story writing that even a 6 year old child knows.

RTD is the Doctor Who showrunner now and what happens with the
15th Doctor (and his companions) are his calls to make. Just as
bigeneration is part of the show now.

No they are not. Bi-generation is out of a Bugs Bunny and Roadrunner cartoon.

 We don't have to like it, but that's the way it is. Doctor Who
evolves...

The show Davies is making is not Doctor Who. Doctor Who ended in 2017.

 

Doctor Who ended in 2017 since the character of the main
protagonist stopped being that of the Doctor.

 You missed out the word "for me"!
 

For everyone.

As in... "Doctor Who ended for me in 2017 since the character of
the main protagonist stopped being that of the Doctor."
 

As in the character being portrayed is not that of the Doctor. It's a completely different character, with a completely different origin, and a completely different show.
