Does this say more about the quality of AI or about the standards of the BBC's directors?

I would say its more the quality of those in charge of the BBC these days, they recently put the show out to tender and among the requirements are a bunch of DEI stuff which is likely to hinder the process A LOT unless they drop it as the BBC is steadily turning into a failed service as they cannot get people to pay the license fee and yet the options being talked about, are completely bonkers, such as taking it from the internet or laptops, ETC... instead of going the root that every other service is taking, adverts! One thing is pretty clear in western entertainment these days, they forgotten how to tell good stories and generally entertain as it all got to fit into a bunch of meaningless check boxes!

You know this entire run has lasted 20 years before getting cancelled. Not quite as long as the 24 year run it had from 1965-1989, but it still was a good go. I wonder if they are going to come back in 15 years with another go at it?

How would they deal with that last regeneration? Would they skip over it to the next Doctor? Would they reboot the entire series and start fresh? Would they do an anthology series following around various versions of the Doctor for each story including ones we've never seen?

How would they deal with that last regeneration?

That is one of the show two biggest problems right now:

How to deal with RTD last minute monkey wrench with Billie Piper and The Timeless child stupidly from Chipnal!


I think the show should have a long break again, when it comes back, the BBC will hopefully have found some genuine talent again, if they are still around by then and not people whose ideas are so extreme and stupid that people get sick of them rapidly and when the show returns, if it ever does, I think it should be a fresh start, leave the baggage of the past behind and only use it to get some interesting story ideas

Yeah, I know about Gary Glitter, but that song has taken on such a life of it's own apart from him that I guess I don't even really associate it with him.
