Fan fic as a term doesn't automatically make something bad or
wrong. I've read some good fan fic over the years. I'd also
consider most of what Big Finish produce as fan fic, just
licensed by the BBC and released on audio... and a lot of it is
very good.

Being fair I suppose that's what any Doctor Who is really when
it all boils down to it if a fan of the show is the Executive Producer... it's their ideas and their vision of the show. Just
like it would be yours or mine if we were writing our ideas
down on paper. The only difference is, they are paid by the BBC
which makes their ideas legitimately part of the show.

It's fan fic if it's written in order to entertain fans instead

Is there really any such thing as 'the general audience"??

Sure, anybody could watch a program once or twice, three times
even, but if they keep coming back again and again and again and
again, aren't they, then, really, FANS??

or just one group of fans or one fan or fake fan alone as in the

"utterly despised the show"?? REALLY?? If someone 'utterly despised
a show', couldn't they just STOP watching it?? Or are they strapped
into a chair with toothpicks keeping their eyes open??

Chibnall hated Doctor Who so much that he destroyed it for every. No
one one can watch it at all.

Sorry, Aggy, but I think you might have forgotten the "IMHO" or something!! I mean, obviously PEOPLE *ARE* WATCHING!!

 Since Doctor Who ended in 2017 how can anyone possibly be watching? Unless it's old episodes.

But, have you noticed, Aggy, PEOPLE *ARE* WATCHING, maybe not in the numbers you would like, at least what *THEY* think *is* "Doctor Who" .... just like people might think they are watching "JAMES BOND 007", no matter WHO is portraying the LEAD CHARACTER, Aggy!!
