As if that franchise wasn't dead enough.
Rowan Atkinson was a better Dr. Who than any SJW garbage Disney will ever produce.
'The Curse of Fatal Death' is just silly enough to work as a parody and yet still better than most of the NuWho that came after it.
Always loved Jonathan Pryce just hamming it up as The Master and shouting "... DEADLY! MWAHAHAHAH!"
Edit: for those that haven't seen it the whole thing is on YT and only 21.5 minutes long.

He was amazing at it even.
Holy Caped Crusader Batman!
I did not know this was a thing. It's off to the high seas for me matey.
Edit: Apparently charity and youtube work together. Who'da thunk it.
Saw that. I had no desire to watch the show anymore but this solidified it. Plenty of classic who yo watch. I even watched up until Capaldi
Nardol is an amazing companion, and I wish he and the Doctor had better episodes to work off of.
They should have given Iowa Public Television creative control.
They've run Doctor Who continuously for longer than the BBC has.
How is that even possible? Hasn't the BBC been running Doctor Who since day one in 1963, aside from that 1989-2005 hiatus?
Or do you mean they reran it during said hiatus, thus technically it ran for more years than it ran on the BBC?
Yes.
Doctor Who has been on Iowa Public Television's weekly schedule continuously (excepting the occasional interruption for special events) since 1974.
The hiatus years were actually IPT's heyday, when they were airing it along side Red Dwarf, Hitchhiker's Guide, Neverwhere, and Blake's 7 as a friday night block.
They were the station that prevented Sci-Fi channel from getting exclusive rights to Doctor Who back in the 00's. They'd been paying for Doctor Who for so long that BBC didn't want to cut them out, and Sci-Fi wanted a monopoly on US distribution.
As someone who became a fan of MST3K and Sliders thanks to the Sci-Fi Channel's airings, I'm kinda bummed they didn't get Doctor Who.
That's a really good chunk of shows.
Yeah. It was done in the style of a late-night b-movie theater, with an MC doing a brief intro for the night's lineup. They'd open with Jack Horkheimer, PBS's weekly 5 minute stargazing show. Then always Red Dwarf, and then after that the schedule varied although it always ended with two episodes of Doctor Who and then the station would shut down for the night.
I think Oregon had something like that, because I remember seeing it.
Train wreck part 2.
Can it get worse -- yes it can.
So, the new black tranny faggot is also going to be a pedophile? I guess having a mystery time traveling box makes capturing and disposing of your prey that much easier.
The woke leading the broke.
I enjoyed NuWho until the dark times....until the Chibnall/Whitaker era. Then I stopped watching.
