That's wonderful news. With enough time to forget the embarrassing
years, the show might be revivable again. That would be great.
 

 
That is never going to happen. The Timeless Child monster rewriting the
Doctor's origin story has disenfranchised the majority of fans, and
Ncuti Gatwa has killed off the entire franchise so there is no one left
to call for the series to return or write it as there was after it was
cancelled in 1989.

Hey, it could still happen! When they revived Roseanne, they ignored the
ridiculous last years. A DW revival could ignore the ridiculous last
Doctors.

Whittaker, Gatwa and the infantile writing with everything revolving
around puerile magic, feelings, sentiment, and emotion targeted at 12
year old girls of very low intelligence,

That sounds about right. As well as being overly sexed up, it also
somehow manages to be childish. It's a family show at its core, but
families include teenagers and parents. It shouldn't be *just* for
people whose minds aren't fully developed.

Don't forget that this critique is coming from someone currently
marathoning My Little Pony. :\
