However, we did get OTT, fun, weird, camp, as well as a

more entertaining than the real thing too.

That is simply not true. 6.7 million people on average watched
the Eurovision Final on BBC1 peaking at 7.9 million during the
UK entry, compared to 2.57 million that watched Doctor Whoke
and about 5 million that watched the FA Cup Final (on the BBC
and ITV combined I think).

 Just because they watched, doesn't mean they found it
entertaining... people stop and stare at car crashes.

They must have found it entertaining because it started at 8pm and it didn't end until long after midnight and still averaged 6.7 million compared to virtually no one watching the competition on ITV who had to move BGT to Sunday. People aren't going to keep watching for over 4 hours half of which was a the scoring unless they were entertained.

 You also make a habit of watching Doctor Who every week and say
it's garbage (backed up by your usual minus something rating) so

Doctor Who ended in 2017.

clearly by your own standards viewing doesn't equal
entertainment! Or are you going to shift the goal posts on that
one as well?

You are the one shifting the goalposts and you don't have the faintest clue how to understand statistics.

 

As for the ending; flood -> rain -> Rani, was always a good
guess from the start. The only issue was whether it was
too 'on the nose' and one of RTD's red herrings, but no,
it was indeed exactly what it said on the tin and it was
another reveal this season that had also been heavily
speculated on within fandom.

Everyone figured it Mr Flood was going to be the Rani from
when she first appeared in Gatwa's first Christmas special and
knew what a TARDIS was.

 Everyone apart from you obviously.
 

I stated she was the Rani at the time of the episode.

It wasn't that long ago you were saying that Belinda was the
Rani because of Queen in Indian or something...
 

She still could be. The Rani can regenerate.

I'm sure I could find the post(s) if I could be bothered. ;-)

I am now thinking that the Indian Rani is going to be Belinda's mum. Why haven't we ever seen her even in flashback?
