Part 5/10:

Recent episodes of *Doctor Who* included the return of classic characters like the Ronnie and Susan Foreman, sparking nostalgia among long-time fans. However, the excitement surrounding these cameos has not translated into improved ratings, suggesting that merely bringing back old favorites isn't enough to reignite the flame of interest.

Interestingly, many fans feel that the series needs a complete overhaul, perhaps even a retconning of certain storylines, including the infamous “timeless child” concept. The return of Susan, a character shrouded in mystery from the original series, raised hopes that the writers might take this opportunity to delve into her backstory. However, even these iconic characters failed to spark the interest needed to reverse the downward trend.
