That's your oppinion, but please elaborate!. I personally love dr who and it has brought many entertained saturday evenings. So why do you hate it so much?
got to admit though. Maybe with him putting a post about the Doctor we might get our well needed sci-fi forum!.
I normally hate sci-fi, stuff like star trek bores me
but I have really enjoyed dr who, best program on TV!

and yet you feel the need to seek out a thread about it wasting your own time and everyone elses! if you dont like it dont watch it.. it's quite simple really
btw your comments are a bit rich for someone who seems to have been posting avidly on celeb love island threads... maybe its just a matter of taste in terms of what you like to watch on tv.. plenty of people on here would have a comment on that!

To be honest I've really enjoyed this series until now - But Oak's argument has opened my eyes! Come on people!! Remember the Emperor's New Clothes? The little boy who wasn't fooled? Look again at this completely rubbish, and boring programme, and boycott the silly finale on Saturday!

To quote DW:
"NO"
K
it just occured to me... this thread must have been started by the chief execs over at ITV towers as their latest attempt to derail the doctor's viewing figures.. it's logical really, wrestling failed, star wars failed, even arnie failed, so lets start a rumour on the internet that dw is not actually very good... my god, those ITV boys are geniuses!!! I'm going to watch Celebrity Ironing From Hell instead on Saturday night

on recent performance they are more likely to show "Doctor at Large" and hope they catch a few people out!

Used to watch the Doctor In The House and all its successors, amazed to find recently a lot of the Pythons had writing duties on it.
Sorry for going off topic.
Oh, wait... no I'm not.

I think you might get more laughs than viewers - it certainly gave me a chuckle.
Isn't it amazing how we fans can hijack a perfectly decent hate thread and have yet another fantastic DW discussion in it's midst?
It must be a conspiracy!
Can't wait until the episode on Saturday.

actually there is a serious point here, ok DW isnt ever going to be everyone's cup of tea, i can totally understand that, but i think the alternatives being offered on the other channels is completely laughable, if i wasnt a fan of DW i would probably be upset that the other channels had given up competing and were scheduling mindless pap against it..

I agree with you - I actually watch very little tv these days, simply because the 'Celebrity' this and "**** from Hell" that just do not appeal to me.
There is occaisionally a gem of a programme, although it usually takes some finding. Thankfully, DW at least provides me with 90 minutes entertainment a week.

couldnt agree more mr watts, but again a serious aside to all this, we dont want the production team and writers getting lazy in the future because they know that they will have very little competition... the best thing that can happen to DW in it's second series is that it is up against a good strong lineup from at least one other major channel.. without competition there is nothing.. for all the BBC can shout about the ratings and the popularity of the programme, ITV can just reply "oh but we gave up half way through, so it's a hollow victory".. there is a large enough audience on a saturday night for two channels to get 8 million viewers, lets have a real choice out there!

Only watching one repeat Mr Watts? (and not watching DWC?). Lack of dedication, that's what I call it!

Also discounts endless hours of fun on these very boards!

I very much doubt anyone on DW is getting complacent, given they have to sell the public a new Doctor (and probably new companion). This series had the strongest competition possible in Ant & Dec - and it beat them every single week. And ITV never thought Celebrity Wrestling would bomb as badly as it has - how much money did they spend promoting it? So there was no plan to "give up half-way through".
There is BAGS of choice anyway - if you don't like the majority of viewers choosing DW, TOUGH! The big point about DW's success is that there is a huge appetite for well-told fantasy/sci-fi/action adventure - something ITV has spurned for years. And now it's bitten them on the bum and they don't like it ... maybe they should show a bit more imagination in their drama commissioning and stop peddling endless variations of dull detectives and grumpy surgeons.
Oak just proves my earlier post (Page 3).
I hate cheese but I have better things to do than start a "I hate Edam Adverts" forum.
Or how about a "I hate - 'I hate Dr who' - forums" forum.
