sadly Doctor Who has severely degraded in quality over the years but I'm sure they'll find a way to salvage him again.. he's like James Bond, Superman and even to a lesser extent things like Hulk.. a good concept but often really screwed over by writers ignoring his core aspects of putting him in far, far too complex and outlandish scenarios (considering how weird Who normally is that's saying something).

I still feel the franchise has potential, they just need to grow out of the "shocking, dark and extremely hard to understand" style of writing and return to its lighter (if a bit silly) roots.. I mean it doesn't need to be any darker considering Daleks, Weeping Angels and Cybermen are already plenty nightmare fuel.
