I agree. I might complain actually about the bias element.

Listening to the New Dr Who on TV his voice sounds like Duncan Bannatyne of Dragons Den fame.

Re: Is the new Dr Who too Scottish?
I must agree that I dislike this new Doctor. Not sure how much the Scottish part has to do with it, but I think the accent and the acting style are not jelling well!
And I can't be biased being of Scottish descent right?

Life the robin hood episode - what a load of rubbish that was - the Dalek one was ok and had a good undertone - then last week plumbed the depths again - the other story line of blind date just got in the way

Stick to what you are good at writers - non stop action and historical things like Robin Hood etc just don't work - pretty much never have unless they are in the 20th century and beyond - although I understand the time travel thing -

I agree with you. It is not the Scottish part it is that the new Doctor doesn't fit in the scenes. When Eccleston left I was happy with Tennant, when Tennant left I was really happy with Smith. Having now watched 3 episodes I am really disappointed with the new series.

The show runner promised a Darker, more serious doctor but seems to be unable to deliver. The actor seems uncomfortable in the role. I don't suspend disbelief and say "oh it's the Doctor"

The first episode wasn't very good, the second third was unique but I am tired of Daleks, the third was better but mostly because of hottie Robin I didn't understand the Doctor's tantrums and childish behavior. He's being helped along by humans.

The most recent episode just lost me completely

And he cant be darker, because its now shoe horned into the international market and cant upset too many people. which makes Clara's PC love affair an interesting prospect in southern American states.

It's not 1966. You have a very tiny percentage of American's who wouldn't watch a TV show because of a bi racial couple. And most of those people probably aren't watching Doctor Who anyway. Rose was in a biracial relationship. Donna was engaged to a man of another race - yes he was trying to kill her but I digress. The lizard lady is a lesbian and Captain Jack was definitely bi.

If you analyze the "new who" Amy & Rory (same race heterosexual couple) were the oddities.

It is isn't it? Such a shame they've managed to ruin it after so many years. The last two Doctors were great, but this one is just boring, no personality. I've always watched it but for the first time switched channels last week because it was boring rubbish.

Re: Is the new Dr Who too Scottish?
He's a good actor and is capturing the spirit of the doctor, except he's too old and David Tenant was my favorite doctor. Matt Smith my second favorite.

Rose was and still is my favorite girl companion. And the older red haired lady was funny.

This doctor flashes the mason hand signal and so paying attention and trying to see if I can see whats being said.
The Devil tries to convince everyone he doesn't exist.

Re: Is the new Dr Who too Scottish?
The new doctor played Richeleu in the new Musketeers series. This is wreaking havoc on my perceptions of a new doctor.

Where is the delight? How can one regeneration change the dr's personality so dramatically?

Is this a ploy to change up the script to include a 12th or 13th doctor? I'm so saddened by this.
