If the cartoon is the future of Doctor Who, fine. But if the
thinking is, "Oh, we'll hook the kids into the show at 3 and 4
years of age... they will be around forever then." I see flawed
logic in that. If the main show was interesting enough, people -
of all ages - would watch it. Just like we did!

We're still talking about the cartoon, though. Do you think
they'll make books of these? Producers do create tie-in books for
children's shows, but they usually have separate stories.

Not really changes, per se... this series was commissioned as an
animated series for pre-schoolers. I suppose we could have the

on Doctor Who, and here I am decades later still discussing
the show... with others who got addicted to the show when they
were younger.
What do you think captivated all those children of the 1960's,
1970's and 80's? Where did all those stories about "hiding
behind the sofa" come from? It wasn't from watching a cartoon
anyway! It was the children's experiences of watching Doctor
Who. A sci-fi based series with monsters... good stories that
caught our imaginations and gave us escapism from whatever
was going on around us in the real world. That's all Doctor Who
has ever needed. It's when trendies start wrapping it up in
political bullshit and over-thinking it that the wheels start
to come off and people switch over/off.

Yeah, that won't work. I've seen a few of these shows -- baby
Spongebob Squarepants, for instance -- and they're not designed
as introductions to the adult versions. They're just standard kid
shows using the names the kids have heard their older siblings
use.
Maybe this one will be different. We can hope. SJA was explicitly
for children, and it was usually worth watching.

Although I'm sure somebody will use AI to cobble together a

I detest random-packed things. It's impossible to collect the entire
set and encourages scalper scum. Random-packing (and short-packing) are >simply marketing scams by greedy companies. X-(
Here in New Zealand, the freebies in breakfast cereal boxes stopped a
long time ago. The one excpetion being Weet-bix* which comes with
boring "Stat Attack" sportspeople collector cards (originally rugby
players, but now includes other sportspeople). We just throw them cards
in the paper recycling bin.
* "Weet-bix" is the Australasian inferior copy-cat of Weetabix.
The Santiarium company that makes Weetbix are even so selfish and
greedy that they won't let shops here import Weetabix unless the
shop covers up the name on every box. The Stat Attack cards are
also a lazy copy-cat of the Top Trumps statistical card game.

Exactly. Live and let live... if people want to watch this animated
Doctor Who series, fine. Good luck to them.
Maybe it's a way of breeding a new generation of Whovians so the show
will still be alive in twenty-five years or so.
That's just modern day propaganda though isn't it?
I mean, most of us here were Doctor Who fans when we were children. (I
was only Seven when I first saw Jon Pertwee in action in 1972.) I
didn't need a cartoon to become hooked on Doctor Who, and here I am
decades later still discussing the show... with others who got addicted
to the show when they
were younger.
What do you think captivated all those children of the 1960's, 1970's
and 80's? Where did all those stories about "hiding behind the sofa"
come from? It wasn't from watching a cartoon anyway! It was the
children's experiences of watching Doctor Who. A sci-fi based series
with monsters... good stories that caught our imaginations and gave us
escapism from whatever was going on around us in the real world. That's
all Doctor Who has ever needed. It's when trendies start wrapping it up
in political Bullsh*t and over-thinking it that the wheels start to
come off and people switch over/off.
If the cartoon is the future of Doctor Who, fine. But if the thinking
is, "Oh, we'll hook the kids into the show at 3 and 4 years of age...
they will be around forever then." I see flawed logic in that. If the
main show was interesting enough, people - of all ages - would watch
it. Just like we did!
The problem is that the main show itself may well not be coming back at all.
I don't know the details but for the immediate future it does seem that
only this cartoon is spoken of.
The cartoon seems to have a kind of a Japanese manga influence in the art.
Definitely aimed at young children

The BBC have already announced that they hope to have a new
series broadcast in 2028/29... which is what all the 'tender'
talk is about.
Submissions closed last week, so the process is ongoing.
Which is better than nothing I suppose.

My money is on a lot of fifty-year old men sitting down to watch
it and complaining that the Daleks look too cuddly.
Watch this space!
