 Mark Gatiss: "Maybe it's time for Doctor Who to have another rest"
------------------------------------------------------------------
Former Doctor Who writer, Mark Gatiss, has suggested it might be
the right time for the programme to have "another rest", just as
it did between 1989 and 2005 (with a brief resurgence in 1996).
 What Doctor Who needs is to be run by someone who knows what "Doctor
Who" really is meant to be *AND* to stop trying to appease the
Politically Correct whiners and quota box-tickers. Unfortunately, it's
far too late and probably best to put the show out of its misery.  :-\

 Heh. I thought this was about the reason the current guy playing him claims he quit: He was tired.

 Or RTD just made an enemy!

 No, he actually said that playing Doctor Who was too exhausting at his age!

 "Too old & Tired" What?? He was just out of Nappies, wasn't he??

Ncuti Gatwa is around six years older than Matt Smith was when he played the Doctor ... so, yep, Gatwa should be moving into teh Old Actors Retirement Home next week.  ;-)
