Having just watched series 4, I'd say if
they continue like that last episode,
they won't need a series 5 because nobody
will be watching.
But apparently there won't be a series 5.
Jury's still out, though.

Good. The last series was incoherent pretentious tripe. Just as with Dr Who,

Moffat seems to think complexity is a valid substitute for a decent storyline.
Sadly he's mistaken. One would have hoped Gatiss would have reigned him back
somewhat but I guess he's from the same mold.

Sadly, I agree. The first few series were fun and clever. This last one was, um,

They won't be getting this one back. I gave up back when Tennant was still
in it. Endless portentious build ups with no payoff. Whats this, the daleks
have amassed a huge fleet and are about to attack Snargleflurb!? How will the
Doctor stop them?? Oh, right, he'll wave his arms around and shout a lot while
confusing them with so much gibberish they give up and go away - roll credits.
Yeah, I'm sold.

They don't have to. Children's programmes get a ready-made new audience
every year.

I liked the McCoy doctor, and a lot of the stories.

They stuck bands on The Young Ones so they could use the variety show
budget, but that doesn't mean it wasn't a sitcom.

I use to watch Dr Who when I was a child. I gave it up when I reached
my teens.

McCoy has said that his Dr made subtle anti-Thatcher digs so it was jolly subversive. I just thought it was shit, really.
