How would you end Doctor Who for good?

[Haggis and tatties]

My plan is to write a mediocre season. Lose my lead actor. And have my streaming partner decline to renew their contract.

Ha........i like that, mine would be along a similar lines, i would wait until the show is 50 plus years old, then i would take a 40 year old episode, claim it shows a lot more of the charactor existed way before the actual first actor to play the role, then i would have the timelords call themselves timelords before they had achieved time travel, then i would double down on that until the show had lost so many viewers that is just ends with a wimper and no one real cares anymore. Lol

Oh dear poor Russel has he lost his mind? There is a sizeable backlash to him recently

Only from some

Only from some

I know it's only some but they seem really rabid and loud

Welcome to the internet.

All of this has happened before and all of this will happen again.

...which I'm pretty certain I said exactly that after Davies was announced and people predicted how his era would (and wouldn't) be received.

Want to surprise me?

Have a Who era where there isn't a rabid segment of the fan base who hates on the showrunner but then turns around and laments the same showrunner when they turn their furor towards the newest showrunner.

Guess what. It'll never happen.

Detractors of Moffat and Chibnall were just as rabid and loud during their eras and will be just as rabid and loud against the next showrunner when they take over.

If there are a lot of generations left (timeless child or no) you could say each Doctor was a citizen on Gallifrey…the final burst to repopulate the planet. Hard pantheism.

The Master (the Eric Roberts version) jumps up screaming from a very bad dream, which was NuWho (). Initially relieved, he's suddenly overcome with convulsions and more screaming again, until everything around him goes dark...which turns out to be another nightmare of the 7th Doctor. Explaining his relief that it was only a bad dream, The Doctor and Ace head off for another adventure...
