Doctor Who is really bad now

I've tried, honestly I have to like Peter Capaldi, but it's not working, he's easily the worst doctor who ever!
To be fair to Peter the stories and scripts have been pretty grim, the first episode had the doctor as a confused moron, and even now 6 weeks in he's still playing it stupid.  I mean the cleverest man in the universe, who defeats all the alien enemies has a line like  " You have two jackets? why is one of them defective?" it's bloody dire.
The stories haven't been much better, the first episode had the doctor take a back seat role largely to Vastra and Drax. 
This weeks episode seemed to be an excuse for Danny Pink (bloody silly name for Gods sake) to meet the doctor, and is turning into a sort of confused soap with Clara and Danny and what appears to be an elderly confused uncle sort of doctor (dementia maybe?) 
I have nothing against his age really, but he's just not right for the part.  Far from being a man who saves the world each week he's more like a man who couldn't change a light bulb.
I believe the phrase is physician heal thyself!
