Dear Russell T Davies | The Legend of Ruby Sunday 

I've just woken up to the fact non-one seems to mention or seek out Ruby's father?

I think the big problem with the show in recent times - and certainly with RTD’s return - is that it’s become an overly emotive/emotional, “in touch with my feelings/sexuality/gender” soap opera with a (this specific season) totally impotent central figure - it’s the companion or anti hero “love interest” or whatever who saves the day, not the Doctor. As such, this show and this season is the antithesis of what Doctor Who once was.

These videos absolutely kill me man 🤣🤣 classic Roo Cell doing the old mystery girl companion again, meanwhile 14 is sat at Donna's house watching James Bond as Sutekh destroys all of creation 🤣

Why does stunning and brave 'Rose' need UNIT to solve petty crime when there's a freeloading TimeLord kicking about doing nothing?

I see why Sutekh chose to latch on to Ncuti's 'Doctor' instead of Tom...He's f**king useless, standing there like a catatonic carp.

When it comes to these past references, it's like linking back to a show that this is a parody of.

It's nice to see someone vocalize your own thoughts, i also don't understand the sequence od events of this episode. It seems like nothing happened and then all of the sudden the big bad shows up do to 0 sequence of the events that occurred.

It doesn't change the order, Grant was in an animated online adventure, not tv canon.

Absolutely love your reviews of Rousselle. They are spot on and hilarious.

Rouselle is aiming to get down with the young modern audience, you know, the one known for being loyal viewers that watch programmes religiously, buy all of the merch, etc and become life long fans... ... for one or two series, before moving onto the next Big Thing without a second thought for the previous Big Thing. Forget the real life long fans who are watching their beloved Doctor Who being bastardised and destroyed.

Actually you have a problem with the argument that Chris Eccleston is no longer the 9th Doctor because there are Doctors before William Hartnell including the Rogue Doctor whose face we also see in the group. That means he could easily be the 9th Doctor of the pre-Hartnell Doctors. Because there is no way to explain why Richard E Grant's Doctor should regenerate into Chris Eccleston or from the War Doctor. So while you may be thinking this is revenge of some sort, its just RTD cleaning up some questions in canon. Why I say that? Because RTD is not a fan of the Grant Doctor. Also I don't see Grant showing up as the Doctor outside of Big Finish anytime soon. So while you try to make the point that this is a retcon it really isn't in terms of Chris Eccleston's place in series.

Great vid. Barry the Geezer! 😅 Go on, make the titles, I dare you!

Wanting a younger audience does not mean that older fans aren't being serviced anymore, in fact there's loads of easter eggs and references for those fans as well as being a good entry point for new viewers. And what's great about Sutekh's return is that it's a classic villain being brought back that only appeared in one story but is iconic and so obviously means a lot to older fans who grew up with the classic series (like Russell himself) but also it's introducing this iconic villain to a whole new generation as well, and in the UK the classic series is more accessible than ever so if they are intrigued by this villain they can go and check out Pyramids of Mars, which is great! 12:00 - well yeah it's long been established that if the Doctor goes somewhere at a certain place and time then they are part of events and so the Doctor CANNOT go back to that exact time and place because they could end up meeting themselves and potentially causing a paradox. This makes sense, that's time! 30:40 - that's very in character though. Of course the Doctor would feel that way, he was very different back then when he was the first Doctor, he wasn't the compassionate hero he is today, he became that person because of Ian and Barbara, which is what I've always loved!

How did Sutekh know which TARDIS to climb onto after the bi-generation? 🤔 For all he knew he could be waiting for his time to strike and end up sat having to listen to Paul McCartney wafting through Donna's kitchen window...

he is called morris

I was hoping against hope, week after week, that it wouldn't be Sutekh...It was Sutekh (or the 'anagram' of 'Susan Technology'...🙄) I am not happy about it.

I could listen to these reviews all day, so funny.

I enjoyed your ramble, mate. It seems that the intended "younger" audience (minute though it is) are loving it judging by all the 10/10 scores you see on twittex. Everything's a 10 for them, of course. Bless their fragile, little minds, I remember being 15-16 and making lists and ranking things. To hell with Genesis or Androzani or Inferno or Fenric or any of those old clunkers. Space Babies for the W. I say, they're welcome to it, whatever this grotesquery is, I'm happy to continue laughing at it. It's simply not for me and that's fine. I've another 200 odd, infinitely better written, Doctor Who stories to re-watch for the 50th time.

I agree with your points here. Sick and tired of the mystery box girl plot dragged up again and again. Gatwa is very good at catching flies in his mouth and being in touch with human emotions. Not very Doctor-like but then RTD will use the bi-generation as an excuse to humanise him. Good points about the Tennant Doctor. If I’d written this I’d have had the new Doctor gone wrong and behaving reckless and the previous Doctor would need to return to stop him. That might have been more interesting than this underwhelming stuff.

This once iconic franchise has become a campy parody of itself. It's become an over the top, flamboyant gay fan fiction shadow of its former self.

Hold on I get some of your complaints but are you really complaining about Doctor Who being camp it’s always been camp and over the top even ridiculous at times that’s part of the charm. Are you forgetting the classic series had a candy monster or plastic chairs that ate people if you’re really going to complain about Doctor Who being camp that ship has sailed a long long time ago.

There's nothing like a channel owner that picks and chooses what shows up on their feed. I'm sure this channel will absolutely go viral with that mindset.

it was a 1/10 for me. terrible episode.

For once the algorithm has rewarded my search for clever creators. Thanks to it and to you #DrMacclevoid
