Superfans on the new Doctor Who ( www.telegraph.co.uk )

The first series of Russell T Davies’s return to Doctor Who – and Ncuti Gatwa’s first season at the helm of the world’s longest-running sci-fi show – came to an end with Saturday’s Empire of Death. But what did the show’s superfans make of the first Disney-backed season?

We spoke to four: Tony Jordan, 65, the coordinator of the Doctor Who Society, who’s watched since he was four years old; Lauren Amelia Miller, 31, a disabled writer and actress who’s been a fan since she was five and owns a Dalek nicknamed Woody; Zoe Butler, 23, a civil servant who started watching in 2005 and cites David Tennant as her favourite Doctor; and JJ, 28, who works in digital media, blogs on Doctor Who and has been a fan since 2012.

I’ve been re-watching the Tom Baker era. I miss that “Hammer Horror” vibe.

It's my favourite era of Old Who - I went to the Doctor Who exhibition and turned a corner to see Morbius! That thing still haunts my dreams.

I was expecting a pearl-clutching hit-piece from the Telegraph but I do recognise the criticisms even if I don't always agree with it.
