I've just finished season 6, the stories definitely aren't as good after the 5th series, I miss the days when each episode was a new story, there's too many confusing (and boring) twists that keep overlapping each other and it just gets too tedious after a while.

simple but effective twists and stories like bad wolf or the crack in amys room are the best ones

It's all downhill from there I'm afraid to say. It's been mostly ****e for about 5 years

I agree about Series 6/7 being crap but the Capaldi series have actually been pretty good so far?

They're much less complicated and most of the stories are at least above average

like the season 6 finale with time stopping and that 'oh actually hes not dead' moment it was just a bit of a mess

when you compare it to eps like Turn Left, that had everything that was good about the show, yet it wasnt over-complicated

You still haven't explained why casting a black woman would be a bad choice to be honest hunni x

Series 4 was amazing. Donna :love:

I never said it was a bad choice hunty

My posts were laughing at the fact you said it would be the casting of a black woman that will save the show and make it popular.

If anything it would face backlash.

Remenber all of the uproar when the little teen girls got an old man and not a Matt Smith they could spaff over on tumblr? They'd do that again over a woman.

I didn't say it would definitely save the show and make it more popular, but let's be honest the ratings have been declining for years and picking another safe choice (aka a White guy for their 13th time) won't reignite interest. They may as well take a risk is all I'm saying. Also they could just pick a hot guy for the companion if they want to keep the horny little teen gals and gays on board

News on the cybermen.

I live :clap1:

Does this mean the Cybus Cybermen are dead and buried :fc:

A risk yeah but a black gal? Why specifically a black gal?

Fingers crossed for a good Cybermen story at last!

A good story full stop would suffice for me. :(

lol tbh

Aww what a nice gift for Capaldi though. Didn't he say the originals were his favourite.

Omg I've never seen this before :laugh2:

Also so so here for the Mondasian Cybermen :flutter:

I remember that. :joker:

:clap1:

:amazed:

Every time they've announced a Cyberman story I've been hoping for these creepy bastards :clap1:

I hope this finally means a decent Cybermen story. I can't even remember when they actually had a decent story to themselves.

I've only just noticed the reference to the emails which make up the Writer's Tale book. :joker:

I've only just watched both of the Capaldi seasons... I actually liked him more than I thought I was going to... got a bit sick of Clara "definitely dying this time" every second episode.

Also I'm already 100% convinced that I'm going to find the new assistant irritating as **** based on the 10 seconds of clips shown at the end of the Christmas special.

And pretty convinced the next doctor, or at least the one after that, will be female. They've hammered home the point that "gender switching" is a thing with "Missy" + the general on Gallifrey, who was an older man and regenerated into a woman, and commented hinting that she was "usually" a woman and had found it strange being a man. They're definitely gearing up for FemmeDoc.
