I’m not crazy about purported leaks and rumours, but this one has a whiff of truthiness?

    ncuti was the weakest doctor as far as acting goes, and terrible writing, the only highlights were the villians who were better written than he was. Her terrible run as a doctor is due to showrunner, she definitely have some things to become one but she was horribly written, whittaker complained about this before the pandemic. they tried to have spinoffs but that failed, outside of SJA whom the actor died and then the series. well dr who is a british show, naturally you would use british/.indian/Eu actors actors over an AMERICAN one whom they dont use often. the rani, missy, and various indians ones. NPH was decent as the toymaker, maybe meastro.

    capaldi had a so-so series.

      Capaldi was a better Doctor than his writers allowed. Man was just dripping with cool, but we only really saw it a couple times (like when he picked up a guitar). My initial sense was that he was too old for the role, but that thought was banished after a couple episodes with him. I liked Capaldi as a Doctor, but he was held back. I feel like while Whittaker was channeling Tennant, Capaldi was like an older Smith.
