Russell T Davies has reflected on the criticism surrounding his latest 'Doctor Who' era, admitting that he thought some of the negative reaction from fans was 'a shame'. Davies' second stint as showrunner came to an end earlier this year as the BBC began the process of putting the programme out to competitive tender.

His return was initially met with considerable excitement, particularly after Ncuti Gatwa was announced as the Fifteenth Doctor. However, the latest era also faced criticism from some sections of the fanbase, with viewers questioning certain storylines, creative decisions and the treatment of established elements of the franchise.
