“Liebes “Doctor Who”, ich muss gehen. Doch es liegt nicht an dir, sondern nur an mir… Denn ich bin nicht zu einem Stück Scheiße geworden”. So oder so ähnlich hörte man es in den letzten Jahren leider sehr häufig an vielen Ecken des Fandoms. Sowohl in Deutschland als auch im Heimatland der Serie verliert “Doctor Who” zunehmend Anhänger. Aktuelle Umfragen in unseren heimischen Gefilden zeigen in erschreckender Deutlichkeit, dass das Interesse an “Doctor Who” allgemein stark gesunken ist. Während rund die Hälfte der Fans in den letzten drei Jahren weniger Interesse an der Serie hatte, konnten nur rund 1/10 der Befragten angeben, dass sie nun mehr Interesse haben. Und auch dies ist vor allem auf die deutschen Classic-Releases zurückzuführen. Warum das so ist und warum es die aktuellen Staffeln sogar schaffen, den Spaß an den alten Folgen und anderen Medien zu drücken, diskutieren wir heute mit Tim und Alex, die der Serie und dem Fandom nach vielen sehr aktiven Jahren erst vor wenigen Wochen den Rücken gekehrt haben.

Rob and Dave discuss season one of Star Trek: Picard.

Star Trek: Picard is an American web television series featuring the character Jean-Luc Picard, created for CBS All Access by Akiva Goldsman, Michael Chabon, Kirsten Beyer, and Alex Kurtzman. It is the eighth series in the Star Trek franchise, and was launched in 2020 as part of Kurtzman's expansion of the franchise. 

Picard begins 20 years after Star Trek: Nemesis (2002) and sees a retired Picard deeply affected by the death of Data in that film as well as the destruction of the planet Romulus in the film Star Trek (2009).

Star Trek: Picard premiered on January 23, 2020, and its first season ran for 10 episodes until March 26. Second and third seasons were ordered before the first season debuted. The series was met with positive reviews from critics, who highlighted Stewart's performance and the focus on character over action but criticised the slow pace of the series.

"Remembrance" "Maps and Legends" "The End is the Beginning" "Absolute Candor" "Stardust City Rag" "The Impossible Box" "Nepenthe" "Broken Pieces" "Et in Arcadia Ego"

Dr Cool and Lewis Moon return once again for another week of Doctor Who related chat, banter and discussions. This week they debate the Tom Baker era story, The Horns of Nimon, discuss the latest news and review the sixth episode of Torchwood, Countrycide. (How many Nimons have you seen today, listeners?)

Chris Chibnall gives us a rather -- interesting -- sci-fi premise for the second outing of our Torchwood team. There's a lot to enjoy, a lot to question, and even a bit of foreshadowing to seasons to come in this next episode installment.

From the superfans, to the casual viewer, to the brand-new to the program, there are challenges in keeping interest in the Doctor Who franchise strong during an indeterminate filming hiatus, and an ever-changing set of access points to aired content.

 

On this week's podcast, Eleven and Amy visit van Gogh in France in 1890, where he is being terrorized by a creature that only he can see.  Can the Doctor and Amy help, and what effect will it have on Vincent -- and on them?

QotW:  The Doctor and Amy met Vincent; what artist would you like to see the Doctor encounter? Which Doctor would it be, and with which companion(s)?

So Here's the Thing.../Listener Mailbag/Who News
