On Doctor Who 2022
Andrew Rilstone appears to have pulled his blog post on Doctor Who's Christmas Special. I was going to link to it but now can't.
For a long time I've struggled with Doctor Who. I've struggled with Moffat and the lack of narrative. I don't have much confidence that the new head writer will be any better than Moffat
Now seems like a good time to take a break. Perhaps that break will be long, perhaps permanent. Perhaps, if the reviews are surprisingly good, as Rilstone suggested in his now lost blog, I can watch all of Whitaker's episodes on Netflix over Christmas 2022. I expect she'll have quit by then.
But I'm quitting now.
EDIT:
The original Andrew Rilstone blog post is now back up. It may have been re-drafted a bit since I read it.

I've put it off a bit. I've been feeling down about the show for a while. For years. When it's been on.
Hopefully I'm wrong and Chibnall turns out to be brilliant but I can catch up on that. It's not like the BBC would do anything as stupid as tape over old episodes once they had been broadcast in order to save storage room.
As you say :-(
