The show is already dead. How could it possible get any worse? Davies
totally destroyed it.
In 2017? When he wasn’t even working on the programme?
How did he manage that?
They only way back is to write off the RTD era
completely and start again from 1996.
What happened to going back to Capaldi to start again?
At this rate, you’ll soon be demanding DW goes back to Bunny
Webber’s original Troubleshooters concept!
Bunny Webber?
Yes. I’ve double-checked and it was definitely Bunny Webber who
suggested the Troubleshooters concept, back in March 1963.
Aggy would probably agree with many of the ideas in Webber’s memo:
“Young heroines do not command the interest of boys. Young
heroes do command the interest of girls. Therefore the highest
coverage amongst children and teenagers is got by: The Handsome
Young Man Hero”
(Whether it’s still true nowadays is another matter, but you
can see why I joked about Aggy wanting to turn the clock back
to Webber’s vision.)
