Who would have thought?

he could well be the final nail in the shows coffin as far as i am concerned

No one watching Dr Who? I thought the first one was brilliant, especially as an Alien fan but even disregarding that. He could be a great doctor.

And Fallout is very very good..

I thought the new episodes were a lot of fun & Ncuti Gatwa could be a very good Doctor.
I think he's a bit too full on at the moment though. But that's probably because those who've gone before have been a bit less excitable.

I kinda enjoyed both episodes but I'm still waiting for that "now he's the Doctor" moment.

And Ncuti is a definitely more full-on than he was in the Xmas episode!

I can't fault the acting... but the script... what a load of garbage!

The scripts have been going downhill since the Capaldi era, haven't they? I watched the first couple of Jodie Whittaker episodes, hoping that a new Doctor played by someone with that kind of talent might be given scripts to match, but 3 episodes in I couldn't stomach it any more.

I've been watching Dr Who since Tom Baker, (I was watching The Ark In Space only last week).....after watching the new episodes last weekend, I'm even more convinced that the original episodes had so-so acting, terrible effects but brilliant stories.......since 2005, (in my opinion, I hasten to add) the acting has been great, the effects are brilliant, but the stories are crap.....I mean...Space Babies!...come on!!!

The stories since 2005 haven't been too bad, but I thought the latest two were a real step down even from that.
They were very well made and would be GREAT on CBBC.
Everything Disney touches turns to s*it. Expect a load of lame spinoffs like they did with Star Wars.

I thought the latest episode (Boom) was really very good.
Even got a fish fingers & custard reference.

Yeah it was so much better than the first two.

It was the first good episode for a while. A proper Moffatt episode - I think he is better writing one off episodes than running the show.

73 Yards was also a good one i think.
Was nice to see Ruby have her own episode

Best episode of the 4, in my opinion.

Really clever use of suspense and horror - got real Uncanny Valley vibes from the Woman. Will stand up there with Midnight or Blink I reckon! It's definitely improving, and I got a real 'Doctor' experience from Ncuti in 'Boom' - the Doctor really shows themselves when they're angry!

Really enjoyed Boom & 73 Yards, trailer for the next one looks promising too!

i dont think the writing has been any good since Matt Smiths era ended. Moffat can write but as show producer he had s**t writers. Russel T has ran out of ideas. Until the stories get better how am i supposed to get used to this incarnation of the Dr? i really liked Jodie Whittakers take on the character but it took a long time -the Daleks were so badly done that bradley walshs acting wasnt the shows worst feature..

Any supreme beings with f**king time-travel that dont travel through the void & eradicate all the bad versions of themselves (and f**king EXTERMINATE bradley walsh. throw his time-stream into reverse so he never existed) are little more than talking dustbins.

Fumbled the finale there I'm afraid, not entirely sure what the hell was going on, really ladled on the "emotional moment!" and killing off the UNIT staff in Act One was such an obvious hint towards resurrection in Act 3. Bit of a letdown after so many cracking episodes.
