Critics, per Wikipedia

Reviewing the show for The Guardian, Sarah Dempster gave Babies five stars out of five and described it as "an unsettling, funny, moving and emotionally devastating TV triumph." The same newspaper's Rachel Aroesti called the show "beautiful", and gave particular acclaim to its theme song, "Volcano", calling it "a sweet, disenchantment-steeped Billy Bragg-meets-Kate Nash indie ballad performed by the writer-director himself." Barbara Ellen of The Observer and James Hibbs of the Radio Times were more measured: Ellen described the programme as "far too long and intense", but also called it "powerful" and "beautifully acted", in particular Siobhán Cullen's performance "as a woman atomising…

    Babies can be vaccinated against measles at as young as six months. The child will need to begin the normal series again at 12 months, so a kid vaccinated prior to being a year old will get 3 shots total instead of two. (at 6 months, at 12 months, and btwn 2-4 years old) /1

    >things were a lot more peaceful prior to October 7. This is such a massive self-own lmao. What an insane admission, especially coupled with the "I don't see these things outside of election season" you started with. Babies manage to develop object permanence after a few months, you've somehow managed to make it all the way to the written language without it.

    I want to state *yet again* for the record that with the exception of Space Babies and the finalés, that I absolutely loved RTD2 and Ncuti’s era. And even the finalés to Season 2 did something really interesting and meaningful to me - show how limiting and dull the kind of world the right want is.

    RTD was credited 'bringing Doctor Who back' when, IMO, it was screaming for a revival with a ready-made fanbase. Odd how little flak I've seen him get for tanking it. Disney co-funded last series & decided not to continue. RTD wrote the fking awful Space Babies opener which IMO killed momentum.

    I don't think that was necessarily an insurmountable problem, and TBH I think RTD made it worse with some of the decisions he made. Getting David Tennant and Catherine Tate back is fine, but why lean so heavily into continuing a plotline from ~15 years ago if it's also for new people? Or tell it from Donna's perspective: she's leading a normal life, mysterious time traveler shows up, she learns about him alongside the audience like it's brand-new, then throw in the twist that she knew him…

    Space Babies is always (and rightfully so) lauded as one of the show’s all-time low points - a modern day Happiness Patrol (although HP has benefited from an excellent SE version); but there was so much which was good elsewhere in that Disney run, as in any series of Who.
