Re: Doctor Who
Jodie Whittaker and Chris Chibnall to leave Doctor Who in a trio of Specials, culminating in an epic blockbuster Special to air in autumn 2022 as part of the BBC’s Centenary celebrations.

Re: Doctor Who
Without a shadow of doubt the next Dr will be a person of colour. Time to decolonise the Dr.

Never been the same since William Hartnell. He was Black and White. Sorted.

and [more] gay, and disabled, they have to tick all the boxes now.
Double bonus for the moment anyway, the awful Whittaker leaving.
Plus now he's just about ruined it, Chibnall as well. Good riddance, but too late.
Season 13 is getting shorter - from 10 to 8, and now from 8 to 6 episodes.
Remember the days when it was 13, or 12 ........ when it was worth watching.
[ Season 12 had the lowest ever viewing figures since its reboot ]
What was episode 7 & 8 are now "specials", and wow ... they added another special (real bonus after taking away the episodes to start with).
Still, with its ever decreasing viewership, the ever decreasing episodes count is not a surprise. The original series got canned as it declined.
Season 13 is probably the season Ive least anticipated, or cared about.
At one time I (actually we, my wife liked it as well) would eagerly await it Saturday evening.
That died off when Jodie took over (my wife doesnt care for her either), and even more so when it moved to Sunday.
We'll watch them of course, just to see how it progresses, but Im not expecting much.

Well even before Whittaker was announced Richard Ayoade was always someone linked with the role so maybe they'll go after him this time, the fact it will annoy people is just an added bonus.

I could see that, something very Tom Baker about him (not just curly hair !)

Well they have Jo Martin as the Doctor already so they ticked that box already.

Re: Doctor Who
What they need more than anything is a better showrunner who can decide what they want to do and employ better writers. They need to stop this lazy, pedestrian, writing style that feels like they're just churning out the episodes without much inspiration.
Just get writers to tell good stories. Less worldbuilding, less focus on defining the Doctor, and more focus on single one-off stories that are compelling.

Re: Doctor Who
Maybe they could do a proper reboot. The whole thing seems too convoluted now and it seems each new showrunner gets to spin it off into another direction. I am not a big Doctor Who fan who knows all the lore but it's never felt to me that it has a particularly well-thought-out canon.
I don't really know what the BBC want it to be another than schedule-filler. They could allow someone to come in and reset the tone, chuck out whatever crap from the canon they no longer need and reinvent the show for how television has changed since 2005.

Re: Doctor Who
What they need to do is hire a decent showrunner and not a fanboi. It's worked in the past but recently they have just come out with crazy ideas just because it's what they want in the show.

Re: Doctor Who
We'll see what comes of this:
Quote:
Michael Sheen is the most popular choice to replace Jodie Whittaker as the star of Doctor Who when she leaves the series next year, according to a new poll. Paddington star Ben Whishaw, Travel Man host Richard Ayoade and Fleabag's "hot priest" Andrew Scott are also said to be contenders for the role when Whittaker steps down next year.
