Man! Do I want to rant about this! Doctor Who and its ungratefull viewers!

Doctor Who is one of those shows where expectations are beyond high. Much like Star Trek it has a huge group of fans most of whom think they know the show better than the next person and have an exact image in thier mind to how the shows continuation should be executed. Nothing else will do.

Well in 2005 I was a Doctor Who Noob. I heard my favorite writer Davies was at the helm with and old pop idol of mine Billie Piper, so I thought I have to give it a go and it was love at first sight.

I had no preconception to how the new series should be done, but I knew 2 things, it had to loyal to it cheesy repuation and it had to reengerise its viewer base. It did both undeniably well, its the UK's No.1 show and just about the Brits most successful export in recent years.

So whats my gripe? Well Im talking to those fans who think this show should have been made for them, adult-style, constant hard-core bullet flying super serious sci-fi. Those who think the show can be too childish or too light hearted and not enough violent. For gods sake you nutters your being taken on a journey so dont argue with the designated driver!

Of course Doctor Who's quality wobbles a bit, some ideas were duds like the 2012 episode, but very few would argue against the claim that even when doctor Who is at its poorest its still a hell of better than most shows past and present.

But just shut up if your moaning about Doctors Whos Direction. If you even have a snippet of understanding about Whos history like me then you'll know the show is being unbelievably loyal to the original in everyway. So shut up about wanting to change the show into something that it never was!

It makes me laugh, the BBC makes a show enjoyable to everyone, good wholesome family fun, that does go of on tangent now and then to satisfy even those of you who moan and dont get what you want!

Even worse is the the stupidity of fans who demand the show doesnt change - when the main message in Doctor Who is nothing stays the same! "Everything has its time and everythings dies"

Just remember those like Davies and Moffat know Doctor Who like the back of thier hand and are of course excellent writers. Thier are very few out there than can give good cause to claim they've done an unsatisfactory job with the shows regeneration, and I can assure you, that you are not one of them!
