So you're a trainee police officer, keen to prove you're ready for more responsibility. You're given a job with more responsibility, so you attend. There are a number of civilians. One of who fell through the roof of the train and is now acting in a very erratic manner. Their manner would lead you to suspect either shock/trauma from the fall, or drugs use, surely? I'd have actually preferred it if Yaz had handcuffed the Doctor (for the Doctor's own safety of course) - the Doctor escapes easily from the cuffs, and says 'either help me, or get out of my way.' That would have given Jodie a real 'Doctor' moment, and would have also given Yaz a far more interesting relationship than the 'instant best friend' that she got. In my opinion of course :)

So super quick rewrite of this episode: Tim Shaw is targeting Ryan, who has a passion for motorcycles. Grace insists that he must learn to ride a bicycle before he even thinks of getting on a motorbike, due to his dyspraxia and her perception of how dangerous motorcycles are. He falls, discovers the egg thing. Later on its Ryan's garage the gang go to to figure things out and build the sonic. Despite not being able to ride them, Ryan has been working on motorbikes for a while and works with the doctor to build the sonic. Yas is introduced later and separately, she finds Tim Shaw causing a disturbance and tries to stop him as a police officer, fails but survives and runs into the doctor and her primary school friend Ryan. From there the episode can go mostly the same, grace sacrifices herself for Ryan which is what defeats Tim Shaw in the end rather than sonic magic. This not only ties character motivation to the plot, but gives chance for future arcs and the doctor to effect them. Yas wants to be successful in the police force, but lacks the skills and authority the doctor has. Ryan can't ride motorbikes due to his disability, however finds a role model in the doctor who's a tinkerer/mechanic. Graham is grieving and aware that, thanks to his age, he may never love again, the doctor is someone very familiar with that pain who can support him. It's tighter, with better chance to develop and could so easily be done if Chibnall bothered to edit. (P.s. if they want to keep the KZfaq channel, Ryan has it to talk about motorbikes and it consistently comes through in the series, slowly changing to a love for mechanics and engineering).

Children don't get criticized by adults when they put their drawings on the fridge. Calvin of Calvin and Hobbs had a funny cartoon of how the boy " was suddenly transformed into one of his childhood drawings." "It was sad," so Calvin said " and if only little Calvin had a better sense of proportion or had made actual hands and...." Since little Calvin could not draw, the boy Calvin is transformed into a drawing that was really really handicapped. The doctor as played by Jodie Whitaker made me think of the badly drawn animated vhuldhoox drawing of little Calvin in that it just could not do what it set out to do. And BBC does not let persons criticize the Jodie doctor and the underwhelming writing that should help her but gives her figuratively two sprained ankles when participating on a marathon.

NO. Whoever wrote it, it would remain words on a page as Jodie has - self confessed by her = no interest in developing a character out of her own experience (or at least not for the Doctor). If you back at history you'll see references to X's Hamlet or Y's Macbeth or Z's Sherlock Holmes. The character is created by the actor and the script only forms part of that process. The rest comes from the actor him or herself. No one will ever talk about Whittakers' Doctor as she hasn't invested anything of herself into her characterisation. It will also be Chibnall's Doctor as interpreted by JW.

The point of contention for people should never have been that 13 would be played by a woman - theoretically, anyone can play the Doctor and we can identify with them because they embody the same character across all regenerations, even if they have different outlooks/behaviors and stand at odds with one another sometimes. People should have focused on the fact that Whittaker is completely miscast and has made no attempt to create a character of her own like everyone else has when in the role; even Peter Cushing's Dr Who from the 60's movies has a unique style, outlook, and mannerism that was chosen by Cushing. `Ask yourself this - what has 13's defining character moment been?

Yaz could have also been used for this. As a police officer we could see her ticketing the doctor for loitering or trespass, showing a familiarity with the doctor that indicates she has been causing trouble for a while, and also a condescension setting up a character arc for Yaz. Then when she reaches the train, she can chew the doctor out for causing the derailment and try to arrest her until alien stuff starts happening, which would give her more of a reason to stick around than knowing Ryan years ago.

I can always seeing her acting, seeing the wheels turning behind her eyes. It never stopped.

The biggest shame of the Chibnall era is that those same factions you mentioned near the beginning have done nothing but double down during this time. The anti-woman Doctor faction can pin these era's failures on Jodie and the pro-woman Doctor faction can blame it on misogyny. All without critically analysis of what's actually happened. I was initially skeptical of a woman Doctor but figured I'd give it an honest chance because I like trying stuff first. I was already wary of Chibnall knowing his previous episodes but I figured maybe as showrunner he could shine. Then came the Tardis exterior and costume reveals, I went on high alert. I was almost out by the time I saw the console room leaks. Still I soldiered on and watched this. Needless to say I wasn't impressed. "Hey maybe it will take a bit longer this time". I made it to Demons of the Punjab and by then I realized it wasn't gonna pick up. It has been painful to witness the utter destruction of this show from the outside. I couldn't help but laugh when I saw what happened in the S12 finale. They managed to botch many peoples first impression of a woman Doctor as well as damaging the lore to near if not actually impossible to save territory. The BBC is not blameless here of course since they helped make Jodie's introduction about gender instead of a natural progression of the character further fueling the toxic discourse that still reigns about this era. The whole thing is a mess.

I recently rewatched the entire Davies era and continued on to Moffatt's. Minus a few duds here and there, it's very clear to me that on a basic character level the Davies era is clearly the strongest of the revival - and surprisingly it's actually the most varied and experimental at times. Moffatt has his virtues too, with crazy grand ideas, but these can often be at the expense of character (especially season 6 onwards). Plus his eagerness to appear like a clever writer does backfire when numerous plot threads get lost or go nowhere - I think this is why his era lost people along the way. However Chibnall's has none of the above - i'm not even sure he has any virtues at all. Given the viewing figures from this opening episode it was theirs to lose and boy did they lose those people fast.

His contributions to Doctor Who before becoming showrunner were a complaint on the BBC in the 1980s, the episode 42 (one of the worst episodes of the Davies Era), a few bad Torchwood episodes, the Silurian 2-parter in series 5 (Which isn't terrible. His best thing so far probably), Dinosaurs on a Spaceship (Which is awful) and The Power of Three (Matt Smith's worst episode).

@@Dream146 I liked The Power of Three initially. The idea of enigmatic cubes scattered everywhere that did incomprehensible things.

If that had been the precursor to an invasion it might have made sense; however, the idea that the impressive alien tech in the cubes had been waiting for a full year to do nothing more than suddenly kill people really made no sense at all.

As somebody with dyspraxia, one of the really weird things about Ryan's dyspraxia is that he starts out not being able to ride a bike, which is fine, but he's able to play basketball really easily. That's one of the weirder things about that portrayal. tbf not everyone experiences dyspraxia the same way, I just find it really weird that Ryan has difficulty cycling and is able to play basketball just fine.

I think that's the problem when there's only one person from a group represented in a show, they end up representing the whole group so it's difficult to give them just one person's experiences, they have to be everyone's experience or else they're misrepresenting the group. It's like when a character has ADHD, they tend to have the most generic symptoms even thought it's a spectrum, they can't sit still in class and they talk to fast, etc. In an attempt to represent as many people as possible, they turn into an inaccurate stereotype. Happens with ethnicities, sexualities, gender, etc

For the most part, Doctor Who stayed within the top 10 shows of the week throughout the Moffat era, because viewing figures were dropping for every show. By the end of series 12though , this had dropped significantly, with the series finale finishing at 30th place

I remember sitting down to watch this Episode, from the moment Jodie had been announced I was excited, and though Chibnall hadn't had the best track record with Who, his work on Torchwood Series 2 and Broadchurch gave me some confidence he may work as a showrunner. Then I sat down to watch the episode and from the off I knew something was wrong, the magic and wit of the Moffat era was gone, the character drama was a pale imitation of what RTD had achieved in his tenure, the music was forgettable, the performances were all over the place, and tha pacing atrocious. Its just over two years later and I've still never been able to give this episode a second chance, and yet somehow I'd consider it in the top 5 Chibnall era stories.

Seven months in the making! And worth it! There are so many things you wrote that were right on the nose. All I can do is add maybe a couple of things. (1) I really didn't need to know the life stories of each potential companion before I meet The Doctor. I like when we learned a little bit about Rose or of Martha within the first two or three minutes and then BAM! they meet the Doctor and we get to know them throughout their respective runs in the show. (2) Chris Chibnall was a fine writer for Broadchurch and wrote several great stories for Torchwood (along with some very bad ones!). But he was not the writer for Doctor Who. His handful of Doctor Who episodes for Davies and Moffat were average at best, not one of them even coming close to "very good" level. (3) No problem with The Doctor being a woman, but her character was all over the place. I think you pointed out (I think it was you) how one episode she would mention she hates mysteries and than the next episode she says she loves mysteries. (4) I was pleasantly surprised at The Woman Who Fell To Earth. To me, it felt like it needed more of somethings and less of others but I thought it was going to go in a good direction. Then came The Ghost Monument (one of many stupid episode titles Chibnall would come up with) and thought it was blah. Then came the After School Special about Rosa Parks which featured The Racist From The Future. Good God! Then came The Chibnall Hates Trump episode and I resigned to sitting through a sub-par series that only contained one story I really liked - Kerblam. I couldn't even get through one revisit to this season. I'll leave my thoughts about the second Whittaker season sometimes later. Thanks for giving us Part Two of Why Chibnall Doesn't Work. I really enjoyed your thoughts and I hope some of mine made some sense. And I'm sorry this is so long!
@dsb6010

... What a cliffhanger there! XD Points well presented. To me, Chibnall's writing feels like (often times plagiarised, see The Supremacy of Cybermen 2016 comic book and compare with Timeless Children 2020, in at least 17 (directly lifted from the panels) plot points) bits and pieces, thrown together by somebody who wants desperately to have the vast imagination to do the job (but doesn't), and which don't really connect thematically or answer to each other in any way. And so nothing connects with the viewer (like myself) either. There just for the sake of being there and create an illusion of plot/depth/development, but are not in sync with anything, they're superficial and loose in meaning, can be shaken down, when one starts asking questions. Like a ''structure'', hammered together by somebody who still holds the instruction booklet in one hand and, half interested, reads it, while hammering away with the other hand at whatever is so unlucky that comes underneath it. So badly done, it's just disrespectful to ALL involved - AND THEY DON'T SEE IT???!!!!!!! ... Piff!!! Akinola is a good and talented composer, but his music doesn't really get into the show, while the dull two-tone ambience droning sound does. Murray Gold played with short motifs and musical ideas to fill the empty space, or with silence ... Gave each Doctor certain feel: (comfy & familiar & loud!) 70's & 80s pop to 9th and 10th, (energetic! bombastic! out there!) cinematic music to 11th, then 1890-1970's classical and experimental to (serious, mysterious, right to trombones-laced funeral Requiem of) 12th (soundtrack to seasons 8 & 9, personal faves ;P) ... ... Under Chibnall, I'm being denied the connection to the show - much like Whittaker has been denied - or disconnected from - her Doctor: ''You're not coming in and playing the Doctor.'' Chibnall to Whittaker, source: David Tennant (guest: Whittaker) podcast. Imagine Russell saying to David: ''Hey, David, good fellow! You're not coming in and playing the Doctor.'' When Tennant defines 10th Doctor. Imagine Moffat saying to Matt: ''Hullo Matt, my lad! You're not coming in and playing the Doctor.'' When Smith defines 11th Doctor. Imagine Moff informing Peter Capaldi (and live to tell the tale): ''Hiya Peter, old boy! You're not coming in and playing the Doctor.'' *eyebrows drop below ground level* Capaldi was just ... certain aspects got deconstructed so much - to the point of rebound - which only amplified how much the Doctor, all the incarnations in one and all the more powerful, 12th is, it's an absolute, rounded up - added value. The whole point was that Russell saw Tennant play Casanova - and wanted that romantic, light, flirty, lively quality in the Doctor. Matt Smith brought his clumsy, flirty, unusual and unknown mattsmithyness to the part - Capaldi actively pushed back and suggested, steared to where his Doctor, in the ever tightening circumstances of powers that be around the show, ought to go and be - but Whittaker, with her 4 essential expressions, was just happy that she's of the ''correct'' gender (yet never played as such) and actively nodded to everything served to her without a moment's thought, without questioning the scripts, not questioning a thing. Like nobody's home. Like she's an uninhabited vessel. ''You're not coming in and playing the Doctor'' Check. ''You're playing the (by Chibnall written) Truth of the Scene and the Doctor will (by magic) come out of that.'' Chibnall believes that his Words, which determine the Scenes, are strong enough for the Doctor - to appear, as if by magic, and animate the inanimate object (Whittaker). ... What sort of a writer writes for an object? Sees people as non living objects - to their own immortal ideas? ... What kind of a writer writes for the Actor? Inspects actors for who they are - and writes characters drawing from and adapting to actual living people, who are to inhabit the role - and - make - it - their - own? To me, Chibnall's writing just lacks empathy. No sympathy, no resonance, no connection: Chibnall disconnected the Doctor from Whittaker, disconnected both from much of the audience, the characters feel disconnected from each other and unnatural, empty - just nothing feels good or comfortable or fluent or tactile or meaningful. Lacks the feeling. ... Held on as long as I could. I tried to like it, listened to KZfaqrs who do and read articles of folks who profess their allegiance to Chibnall/Whittaker. Stopped watching after Timeless Children, false care, violence to the core character and the show, deconstruction without any value. Will still read transcripts, eventually, but only under unsafe doses of mixed alcoholic beverages. ... Maybe then the writing might make some sense after all ... When all the ... feelings ... are dulled down ...

re Chibnall believes that his Words, which determine the Scenes, are strong enough for the Doctor - to appear, as if by magic, and animate the inanimate object (Whittaker). I think the interview is shown in part 1, where as they sit together Jodie refers to the Script delivering the Doctor which Chibnall refers to Jodie's performance. Chibbs clearly expect Jodie to do "something" to make his words come aline. She hasn't and clearly never will. The fact they they talk across each other when sitting next to each other suggests that neither has any understanding of the other and neither listens to the other. The biggest failure of communication ever. Jodie seems to noe blame Chibnal for not watching previous Who; all her early interviews suggest the opposite. She had a preconception that Who was played for the male gaze (30 years too late) and that the maleness of the character as previously 11 actors was nothing the could work with or was interested in even seeing.

Then series 12 hit killing the character arch of my favorite character (Missy) for the sake of bringing back a popular villain, negating the point of the 50th and spitting on the legacy of a show that's been around for over half a century. As far as I'm concerned Chibnall's Who isn't Doctor Who. It's imposter who.

My overwhelming feeling after watching this live (I haven't seen it since) was a combination of boredom and a dislike for The Doctor's strange characterisation. I forgave both as first story introductions are always hard to do. The problem was as I watched each new episode afterwards, the bored one increased alongside a sense of how bland it was (not withstanding the much improvised visual feel) and a question of when Jodie would present us with a character of the Doctor what was interesting to watch (rather than a gurning idiot) and consistent from story to story (left alone scene to scene). I gave up after the end of S11.

Blame the scheduling mess on the BBC especially with S9. Both Capaldi and Moffat were pissed off. Even on a Sunday which is an easy timeslot Chibs and Whittaker lost the audience from the highs of S11 with mixed writing, lack of PR and Jodie Whittaker who didn't court the fans as much as Tennant, Smith and Capaldi. I hope to God John Bishop's Dan the new companion challenges 13th from time to time. She had it too easy with The Fam. Segun Akinola's music is very problematic that it's BLAND and not very memorable. Yes Murray Gold's music can be in your face but he at least had themes for not only The Doctor but also The Companions, The Daleks, The Cybermen they are identified with the music. That's why Gold's themes are memorable. My only complaint is music the mix is sometimes too loud. God, I miss This is Gallifrey, The Impossible Girl, A Good Man.

Chibnall doesn't work because he Would not give fans Anything as Davies and Moffat did. The fanzines had to relay Birthdays, Obits, and things that past showrunners had done (actors or head writers). Another thing I feel was killing the show was the Constant need to be on Earth and the Continuous use of Modern Day companions. Then came Chibnall who dragged the series down even more so with what I said above.

Doctor Who as a show (as with all sci-fi and fantasy franchises) has a problem. The problem is that if you're a fan and you get the show runner job, you can let your own head canon get in the way of the story. You can forget that there's the rest of the fan base and general audience to consider. Tell the stories you want to tell as a storyteller, but you need to think about fan base and general audience. Chibnall never did any of this.

I was on board with the first season for a while, until the last episode. A week after it aired I couldn't find the next episode anywhere. And then I found that it really was the season finale, but was so anti-climactic that i didn't even realize it was.

One thing that bugs me about Yaz in that initial scene is that she mentions how she can do more than handle parking disputes. Police don't handle parking problems. Maybe she is referring to being called when things get out of hand with a parking warden? Either way: It's not the job of the Police to handle parking disputes.

In a later episode another officer says she is the best probationer he has, yet in the first episode she thinks Ryan was able to drag the huge space garlic into the middle of a forest and dump it there...

What's worse is that Chibnall produced a cop show before getting into Doctor Who.

I get the feeling that Chris Chibnall was picked on in school by a kid named "Tim Shaw" and now he's using his platform as a writer of Doctor Who to get revenge by linking his name with this villain. What a ridiculous name for a villain any way. Ooh, look! It's Tim Shaw.. I"m so afraid of Timmy!

And again. Like the first Video the "Thumbnail Titel" is wrong, again!!!! The Video Titel correctly states Chibnall, but in the Thumbnail it says Chinball...! In the First Video, the Frist Part the Thumbnail, says Chiball, instead of Chibnall, missing an N. Here in this Video Thumbnail, the N and B switches Places...

One reason the grace being the woman in the KZfaq video, is that we don't know Ryan, look at the day of the moon, Rory thinks Amy is saying that she loves the doctor and needs him, but it was actually Rory she needed, which isn't blatantly said but with just the word "stupid face", this is so much better cause we know the characters, we know Rory can be jealous of the doctor because of the way Amy acts with him, the characters created the scenario, not the writer

Chibnall wanted to break away from the norm of new who and fumbled it so hard. At the end of that first episode I was excited to see the doctor once again accidentally kidnap their companions. And was intrigued with the idea that this season would’ve been the hunt for the tardis instead of finding it at the end of episode 2. And then when she finds it it works just as well as before?? Nah you could’ve redone the original doctors thing with his companions where he kept trying to return them home and they were slightly reluctantly along for the ride in season 12. Maybe have Yaz actually use her skills from being a police officer too. Plus if in the first episode Tim Shaw had been hunting Ryan, then that could’ve been played out as part of the plot of season 11’s finale instead of just a revenge thing. Also cutting down to 10 episodes a season doesn’t help at all either

As soon as you described Carl, I had a major, I repeat, major, Broadchurch flashback. Character we basically never see being integral to the storyline? Yup, that’s Chibnall. The man doesn’t know how to get from A to Z.
