Terry Pratchett has (mostly) gone off Doctor Who

It is 'ludicrous and breaks most of the laws of narrative', commented the author of the Discworld books in a humorously impassioned blog post from 2010. Particularly the later stuff. The Doctor has been transformed into a deus ex machina, fully equipped not with a scientific solution but with 'speed, fast talking and what appears to be that wonderful element 'makeitupasyougoalongeum''. But, Pratchett reluctantly concluded, he'd keep watching, even if the Doctor 'is now becoming God, given that the position is vacant. Perhaps they should start transmitting the programme on Sundays.'
