Recently, I've been watching two generations of #drwho concurrently.

I'm on #jonpertwee and #christophereccleston and it's making it very clear what's missing in the recent versions.

There are two key things. #action and #vulnerability.

Pertween and Eccleston were adventurous and the shows were action packed.

The newest doctors are invulnerable and wise and that makes them boring.

This crept in with #mattsmith and it's gradually gotten worse ever since.

The sad thing is, I see a lot of opinions for improving it based on weird #demographic theories and it seems like the producers are listening to this nonsense.

The drwho series I'm watching were brilliant but the new series isn't and that's not #nostalgia.

Today marks 20 years since 'Rose', the first episode of the 2005 'Doctor Who' revival aired, featuring Christopher Eccleston as the leather-jacket-wearing, witty and dorky 9th Doctor and Billie Piper as Rose Tyler, ending a 16 year hiatus.

Hard to believe that it's already been 2 decades. Ever since I stumbled upon reruns of Tom Baker’s Doctor, I've had a special place in my heart for this show. I'd say despite its weirdness, but it's more likely because of it. It had a limited budget, plenty of campiness, extra cheese, and lots of heart (two hearts, to be precise), and it made this combo work.

It's not for everyone, and that's OK, and it had its hits and misses since it first aired back in 1963, but at a time where so much of the current entertainment confuses cynicism and bleakness with realism, and edgy and misanthropic is presented as cool, I'm glad that shows that remain unapologetically silly, and hopeful, and sometimes sentimental, and at the same time always relevant and political still have their place. So I'm happy this peculiar little show is still around doing its thing. 💙 💙
