Doctor Who: 10 Irritating Nu-Who Trends That Need To Die

5. The Irregular Scheduling For the first few years the schedule was more or less dependable. We didn't know the exact date that the season would begin, but we had the general knowledge that it would run more or less from May through July or thereabouts, return for an episode at Christmas, and then back again in the spring. Unfortunately, first David Tennant left the show and then the economy collapsed. (These events were probably unrelated.) The first left RTD with no choice but to do a year of 5 specials and no continuous new series. The second meant that Steven Moffat had no choice but to split seasons into two chunks to save money. All of those things were outside of the program's control, but it's time to go back to regular scheduling. There's enough uncertainty in the world without having to wonder when Doctor Who is coming back on top of everything else.
