But the things the poster claimed are essential Doctor Who canon ARE NOT essential canon as the show has demonstrated as it has evovled. One may as well go back to the end of The Tenth Planet & say Doctor Who is William Hartnell. Perhaps I've not phrased the post in the way I intended to express myself. I suppose I meant what I consider to be quintessential elements of what the show has become as of 2023, which I listed originally, so police box, bigger on the inside, regeneration, striving to be a pacifist, Britishness etc. Oh thats fine. I went off topic a bit due to someone elses post that doesn't fit the discussion as was more someone telling us they don't like the timeless child idea.

No problem, I worry sometimes that I have a tendency to express my thoughts badly when typing up a post. The Timeless Child is a tricky one, as I mentioned in a previous post I didn't enjoy the way the episode was written, just down to personal taste, I do think the actual premise of the Timeless Child is really interesting and it'll be a shame if it's all ignored by RTD. Wouldn't it be nice if as fans we could more often validate each others different opinions on what is good about the show. I'd love to hear an objective view on the Whittaker/Chibnall era, I've not revisited it yet. I've mentioned before reasons why it wasn't to my taste, it would be refreshing to have it sold to me out of genuine love for the era, too often we fans just bicker back and forth about why we are of the right opinion.
