Giles to be in new series of Dr. Who :)

OK, as a fan of Dr Who and Torchwood I have something to say.
They really are egging this Dr Who aren't they?
I'm sorry, but there must come a point when Russell T Davis sits back and thinks, ok thats enough.
I mean Three Whoverse TV shows and now an Animated Series(haha, Whedon you fail in comparison) maybe great BUT is there anything else.

I'm someone who can get bored quickly and too much of the same thing will get me very bored.
 
BotD,
I get what you're saying but if the quality continues to be as good as it has been with the other shows to date I'll be watching 🙂
I think that this new animated segment looks like it will be part of the kids' show Totally Doctor Who, so it probably isn't aimed at the likes of you and me.
 
Personally, I don't mind it. I wish the Buffyverse had the audience to do the same thing. I wanted to see Buffy animated. Also as Mr. P said, up until this point, the different shows target different age groups, and therefore slightly different audiences.

See you have to ask yourself IF the quality has been that good.
Who itself, that has gone from strength to strength, so far.
BUT I might be the only one, but Torchwoods end pretty much sucked for me as a matter of the show and its potential.
And shall we even start on Sarah Jane and her Mysteries?
I understand the difference in audience, but I gotta say that i'm not entirely sure that is an issue.
Dr Who is family viewing. Torchwood is the adults of that family. SJ is aimed at the kiddies.
There is a show for each of those, much more will just be one programme saturating the channels.
There are three shows now and I can bet you that most true Who fans will watch them all.
Its the timing that, for me, is the issue.
If they waited a couple of years, maybe, but its like one continuous loop of Dr Who in some way and ALL by Russell T Davis. He has done a great job so far, but if Dr Who takes up 9 months of his time, Torchwood takes up 9 months, SJ takes up 7 months, even the greatest writer will start to feel that pressure and as he is Exec Prod on them and will oversee scripting, somewhere quality is going to give.
