Also Clara's father in a grim story about the Doctor telling him about his daughter's death, hampered by the Doctor's inability to remember who his daughter is. This one will have a grey colour pallet and be mostly standing in gloomy rooms talking. For a change.

Well...he will! And then we'll see what the next man/woman does. Whoever that might be.
Series 9 is in my top 3 series of C21 Who so am not jaded myself. I can understand people who aren't enjoying current Who being frustrated, but do find the Moffat bashing I see online a bit OTT. He's not actively seeking to eff people off... I mean Female Doctor and master & Doctor flirting yet he redid this the past couple of years mind you it was the master as the Female role. Ill be glad when he leaves and he should have left last Christmas. |

Tom Baker never left just because of a new producer. It was a year or two later he got tired of the role.

Curse of Fatal Death is living proof Steven Moffatt should not have been left anywhere near the real series.

You do realise that Curse Of Fatal Death was a comedic spoof don't you?

But can't you see that Doctor Who is ultra-serious business?? Who the Hell does Moffat think he is finding fun with any of it?

The pattern for short tenures started way before nuwho came along. |

Davison, C Baker, McCoy and McGann all had shorter tenures than Tennant and Smith.

I would imagine a big part of whether or not Capaldi stays on beyond season 10 is whether or not his Doctor contributed to the 1.5m viewers turning off after season 8. He's undoubtedly a great actor and I am sure he's a lovely bloke, but if the viewing figures take another hit with season 10 and the audience research were to point to the 12th Doctor as a key reason, the BBC may need to agree with him that three years is enough.

The final 3 you mentioned all have massive problems to the rule, Colin got sacked because the writers at the time ruined the show, which then affected Mccoy who probably would have been there couple more season at least. And Mcgann only had one movie so he couldn't have any time.
But the first 4 doctors had long tenures. |

Capaldi isn't the reason, it is the writing
Colin Baker's Doctor suffered in the same way - an unlikeable Doctor in his first season and significantly softened in his second. But by then it was far too late. |

But the first 4 doctors had long tenures. And the writers on the show at the time included longstanding experienced writers such as Robert Holmes. The hiatus and Colin's later departure was due much more to the general reputation of the show with the top floor of the BBC. |

Colin wasn't sacked. His contract was not renewed. There's a big difference.
