  1. Did I hear down the grapevine right, that RTD has said that all of the Doctors have now retrospectively bi-regenerated? That each Doctor has split with each other during regeneration, leaving the older one going off on their own continued life? Someone told me that RTD said that it's the Sixth Doctor that sorts out the Rani after his head injury from banging his head on the TARDIS console? Is this true, did RTD actually say this?

  2.  @matthewRest  What a disastrous idea. I don't think he thought that one through properly. Where does that leave the First Doctor? Perpetually doomed to die of old age over and over and over again, each time 'bi-regenerating' a new Second Doctor, with each Second Doctor splitting their own Third Doctor and so on! Millions of Doctors! Removing any risky stakes and peril! Oh joy.

  3. Ignorance of what? No, it's just a simple, organic advert produced by people for a tourist board who don't concern themselves with box ticking and over-representation.

  5.  @matthewRest  I'm glad you agree the 'bi-regeneration' is a terrible idea. Let's hope for the show's and more importantly, the character's integrity, that Russel's insane idea stays well away from him. The show needs the character to just go back to basics and the magic formula that worked for all. Just a man in a police box without all the messing around and retrospective identities.

  6. So you support the show being used as a tool for propaganda? I'm neither right-wing nor left-wing but I prefer my entertainment to be my escapism. You're saying they shouldn't be complaining about things like race-swapping Isaac Newton. Why? It's a perfectly valid complaint.

  7.  @aurockscastillo5460  Your reason of 'to reduce ignorance' isn't a reason, that's just your incorrect opinion.

  11.  @WalterSBMBateman  You didn't answer my question about the race-swapping, are you okay with this? No the show never had 'strongly intertwined political themes', certainly not in the way the show is used for it today. If the stories in the 1960s and 70s did have a political backdrop to a story, then that's all there was to it, a canvas to paint an overriding character driven story with fantastical elements woven into a metaphorical or allegoric situation that could be reflectively compared to real-world current affairs. Analogies that would often give both sides of the situation which allowed the viewer to make up their own minds about the situation The show was never 'on-the-nose' as it is now and there-in lies the problem, it's no longer an impartial show on an impartial corporation. Whether you are right-wing, or left-wing, viewers should be advocating for an impartial one, which the people in this video are advocating. You trying to show me the door with, there are other cultural works as an escapism for me, then please, after being an avid fan of the show for over 40 years, meeting my heroes attending the 20th Anniversary at Longleat, an annual trip to Blackpool's Exhibition, mostly DW merchandise for Christmas and birthday presents throughout the 1980s from parents and relatives, attending countless conventions throughout the 1980s and 90s, even eventually organising my own 400-strong attendee conventions in the mid-90s... tell me, what other cultural works that I could turn to?

Apologies for splitting up the comment as it wouldn't publish as a whole for some reason?
