February 3, 20214 yr Ruth being the 14th Doctor, see this article here I'd be happy with that, though I'd miss the "hype" of a new Doctor being revealed during Wimbledon or something :lol:
March 22, 20214 yr Major character returning confirmed! Catherine Tate has been seen filming DW in Liverpool
March 22, 20214 yr Yes got a bit ahead of myself there :lol: but she has been seen at the locations where DW is 100% filming today, so it seems likely...
April 25, 20214 yr He's posted another video having his hair dyed by a woman wearing a BBC lanyard... I think it's looking very very likely now!
June 27, 20214 yr The tabloids are reporting that Olly Alexander is "in advanced talks" to be cast as The Doctor, so take that however you want! (I really hope it's true though, especially after seeing It's A Sin)
June 27, 20214 yr Weren't the tabloids convinced that Kris Marshall was replacing Capaldi :lol: they're pretty dodgy when it comes to Doctor Who news, but I'd be very happy with Olly if it were true. (poor Jodie's departure hasn't even been confirmed still :drama:)
June 27, 20214 yr They're saying that Jodie will regenerate next year after 2 specials, which does sound about right! Even if it's not true, I doubt she'll have more than 3 series.
June 27, 20214 yr Author Why can't we have someone stay long term?? I do want somebody to break the mould soon and actually stay on for a good amount of time - at least 5 series or so. I adore Jodie, but even now heading into what's likely going to be her final series with two specials added onto the end, I don't know her Doctor like I knew any of the other Doctors, and it's sad. :(
July 24, 20213 yr The virtual SDCC panel is tomorrow at 6pm BST! Jodie, Chris Chibnall, Mandip Gill & John Bishop will be there - along with a "special guest" 👀
July 25, 20213 yr Chibnall has said it will be ‘all one story’ which is intriguing 👀 Even more intrigued when a couple of episodes had to be lost because of Covid (although not sure what stage this was at, I know everyones saying 8 episodes but it seemed a bit flexible pending restrictions?) Jacob Anderson (aka Raleigh Ritchie) is the first guest star announced and is the special guest at the panel. There’s also a very boring teaser which is just clips of the Doctor, Yaz, Dan and Jacob @1419341785109868554
July 25, 20213 yr Jacob Anderson's character Vinder will be recurring across the series, not just a guest actor!
July 26, 20213 yr I think I'd be more sceptical of it being one long story if it were a normal length series, but knowing it's going to be shorter, I think this is the perfect time to experiment a little. I think this will give more time for the plot and characters to flourish too, particularly Yaz and Dan. I feel excited about the series!
July 29, 20213 yr Jodie Whittaker to leave her role as Doctor Who in 2022, Chris Chibnall is also stepping down https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-57940451
July 29, 20213 yr I quite welcome this news. Shame about Jodie, unless this series is a vast improvement, she was constantly let down with the material. I’d like another female doctor with good scripts just to shut the sexists up. I am really happy Chibnall is going though, he’s been thoroughly awful. Can we please get a producer that wants to make DW a great family entertainment show rather than a vanity project you have to make your mark on.
July 29, 20213 yr It is a shame to see Jodie go as I feel like she had great potential. It's a shame about the rubbish storylines she was given and I hope with a new producer they can get back to basics and stop trying too hard.
