Ever since the end of David Tennant’s run as the Doctor I have been gradually losing interest in the show. The writing during Matt Smith’s term was patchy and has become darker and darker to the point where each episode is like something designed for Goths and Batman fans. I have no problem with Peter Capaldi’s portrayal of the Doctor but I think the writers need to seriously lighten up. The greatest episodes of the reboot to date have been Vincent and the Doctor, Blink and the exquisite The Girl in the Fireplace. While Death in Heaven was a moving it was also quite gruesome and there has been nothing in the most recent series that I have found particularly enjoyable. It feels like the show is losing its way. More joy and fun please guys. The real world is dark enough at the moment.
