I’m not saying I dislike Matt Smith as the Doctor and I do like some of the Series 5 episodes. However Series 6 was just plain awful! The story goes all over the place, certain things are not explained well and re-using of former characters and aliens (even in passing) is becoming silly!!!

I’m not sure I like the idea of a Doctor Who movie. It fits better on the small screen in my opinion. Plus I have the feeling that if a movie fails it could pull the TV series down with it.

The Doctor Who setting and plots have always been very British. Will it translate? I know there are many international fans of the series, but will the wider population pay to see the movie? I mean, a movie about a British talking, human looking, space and time travelling alien. An alien who flies around in a strangly non-iconic (blue) British phone box and battles child-friendly aliens and monsters????? In fact the only good reason to make a movie is to make it less infantile and bring it back from the kids channel crap it has become since Matt Smith arrived!

If they adapt it for a broader audience, what will it become? George Clooney flying a space cruiser and Daleks that look more like Transformers.

Then theres the whole recasting issue. WHO do you hire to play the Doc? British or American? Oh hell! I don’t like this one bit!!!
