I think one episode isn't enough time to judge a new Doctor to be honest... and that applies to any new Doctor, male or female. I will watch the first season of Jodie Whittaker as The Doctor, I can judge the season as a whole then and see how the characterisation of the new Doctor following her regeneration develops. Every season of Doctor Who has had some poor episodes, so it'd be a bit harsh to judge Jodie on just one outing if the first episode was a bit sub-par. Maybe not just one episode but probably a handful at the most for me..if it doesn't catch my attention by then, then I won't get through it. that's been my trend till date for most of the shows I watch. I wasn't impressed with Capaldi's first episode but then I was bored with Matt Smith by then and continued watching the new doctor. 2-3 episodes down the line I was impressed. He is my second favourite doctor after Tennant now So yes, wait n watch a few episodes makes sense. The rule of three is pretty effective when deciding an anime series. That said, I don't think the Twelfth Doctor really captured my interest until Listen, so maybe four or five is a good indicator? Just enough time to see the different facets of the character.

True. but then if everyone started thinking the same the world would be a boring place😀 To each one their own and I speak only for myself. All of us have a choice to decide whether or not to continue watching.

No, but Who is a franchise built on not doing what's expected, and its audience is often not far off from that. Otherwise, the books, BF and New Who wouldn't exist at all.

I'm really curious what the new console set will be like. Given how much Chibnall is looking for bold and commanding of attention, I see something very stylized. Maybe an art-deco design, really eye catching in HD, or certainly something very inviting and colourful to contrast with the more 'engine room' quality of the Smith/Capaldi set.

I liked Matt's interior more in Series 5 than the Snowmen reinvention which seemed more suited for Capaldi's more austere Doctor but generally speaking, the potential redesign of the TARDIS is very low on the things I care about for the upcoming era.

I know a few of us are part of BBC Worldwide's polling sample team and the last set of questions that we were asked might interest - they included questions like "do you agree Doctor Who is first and foremost a sci-fi show" and asked questions on things like bringing back old characters, making references to the classic series, having new monsters, having just one companion or multple. Like I say each time we get polled none of this will impact Chibnall's vision but it's interesting to see what the Beeb are investigating, what they're trying to see needs worked on. I can imagine some exec giving Chibbers a presentation on what their research shows with the results

And besides they can't get more awkward looking then Matt's 1st central column IMO

People generally thought the story was just about OK and didn't like Patrick Troughton as the Doctor. And I believe it's true that fans at the time more or less hated 'The Deadly Assassin' and praised 'Time-Flight'? (Not me!) Vox populi! It's up to the new producer to create their own vision as Barry Letts (from series 8 onwards) and Philip Hinchcliffe most notably did (judging by viewing figures) in the classic era and RTD did spectacularly for the relaunch. We didn't know we wanted those very different styles in advance, but they were all big hits of their time.

You're preaching to the choir here - I'm a big believer in auteur theory A good few of the DVDs have features that feature contemporary letters to the BBC and Radio Times - I think the "Tomorrow's Times" is the name.

Yes, I know you know, I was just agreeing verbosely! Seeing the audience feedback scores was the unusual part of this. And yes, I do find 50-year-old statistics interesting...

I found the Doctor and companion questions very strange. Why would they want to know our attitude towards them.

Oh yes but hey, it's fun to speculate while we have nothing concrete. Can't imagine they'll do it for Jodie, but I've always wanted a sort of Gothic cathedral console room. Sort of in the vein of the Verne-style room for 4 but blown up to the nth degree.

Absolutely but knowing nothing of the tone or character I'd be shooting in the dark guessing what the interior would be but if it were up to me, something warm and homely. Not unlike the TV Movie but more the part McCoy sat and read in. As long as we never go back to the awful coral TARDIS of early RTD with the green and blue underlighting. Looks so very dated already.

There’s a horror movie called Alien? That’s really offensive. No wonder everyone keeps invading you.

I thought I was the only person who disliked that interior. Not a fan of the orange mess, either: I never really got a proper sense of how big the console room was because it was all the one colour. Much prefer the most recent iteration which looks vast and powerful as well as lived in.

I have a great fondness for Smith's junkyard console room: it definitely felt like something the Doctor would design.

The way the multiple levels interact really convey the vastness of it to me in a way the current TARDIS design doesn't. It feels like there's more of it than can be taken in at once.

Noticed there's been some chatter about how, given the (rumoured) prominence of historical stories and dialing back of futuristic ones, that Doctor Who may actually no longer be a sci-fi series moving forward. www.youtube.com/watch?v=mIZbfiDp4eUHonestly, I can't see it. There's no real reason to think this, as not only are all of Chibnall's past stories very sci-fi oriented, but the nature of the show itself means some element has to be present (alien hero, time machine, eventual return of past foes in possible future seasons).

I like just about everything to do with Smith's other than the detail of the console. That felt forced-silly.
