January 20, 20223 yr Author It has now been confirmed that Phil Collinson, producer for the show between 2005-08, will be returning to produce the new series! (People found out by finding his CV online :lol:) Christ - anyone else reminded of Clive?
January 20, 20223 yr Slightly away from the main thread of this topic but Season 22 is being released again (Colin Baker's first outing) and to coincide with it, we got to see a brief glimpse into Peri's world post-exit with Nicola Bryant back in the role wrapped around the DVD trailer. Mel, Jo and Ace have also done these for previous trailers too. We had Sarah Jane, can we please get some more classic companions back in the main series x dspgDvP7pA8
January 21, 20223 yr Would've been great to see Brian Blessed there too, but I guess a statue will have to do. At least that ends any discussion about whether she really died or not... probably
January 22, 20223 yr God sake, it's David Tenant again!! Never liked his Doctor - all me me me and too much cheese.
January 22, 20223 yr I only envisage it like a Marvel/Star Wars style limited series, separate to the main show. I know RTD previously spoke about how Doctor Who should be embracing an MCU style with spin-offs etc. This could work but at the same time, how do you differentiate it from the main show? It would have to be a continuous storyline but… the main show has just done that oops I think it’s just a case of trying to put two and two together though, given the old team is back and David is the Tom Baker of new-Who.
January 22, 20223 yr David Tennant is now trending on Twitter after a Plymouth Herald article with an unverified ‘source’ saying that Tennant will be the 14th Doctor... I feel like people will end up being very disappointed if that’s who they’re expecting!
January 22, 20223 yr Bringing back Tennant smacks of a desperation to play it safe, and of having run out of ideas, which is remarkable in a show with endless possibilities. That said, I'm doubtful this is correct
January 22, 20223 yr I just looked at the supposed ‘leak’ and rather than it being a full series, they suggest that Tennant will return for 3 specials.
January 22, 20223 yr I just looked at the supposed ‘leak’ and rather than it being a full series, they suggest that Tennant will return for 3 specials. That would make more sense. There are a lot of precedents for one or more past Doctors appearing in the show.
January 22, 20223 yr I imagine one of those would be the anniversary, I'm sure he'll have a role in that at least, especially as RTD is writing. Could even carry over depending on what happens, but he obviously isn't the 14th Doctor. Showbiz media will jump on any little hint as bait at this stage, I wouldn't believe any rumour until we're much closer to the announcement.

Showbiz media will jump on any little hint as bait at this stage, I wouldn't believe any rumour until we're much closer to the announcement. The source appears to suggest Tennant will play 14 though. (still doubt it) I'd be ok with him playing 10 again but would prefer to see more of 8 or 9, even if the latter is unlikely, but even a brief stint of him as 14 seems like a cheap gimmick. I know there's potential to work in The Curator's lines as a set up, and that Romana appeared to be able to control her appearance too, but I've felt that for most of Nu-Who's run it comes across not taking itself. seriously enough. RTD, with his farting aliens, comedy monsters like the Absorbaloff and Adipose is particularly guilty of this, and this idea has my stupidity alarm going off. The show, both classic and Nu have always been best as serious sci-fi packaged as family viewing and not light entertainment with some sci-fi in it. Having said that, if it's a way to correct all of Chibnall's Timeless Child continuity errors it might be worth it
January 24, 20223 yr Omfg REBOOT INCOMING!!! REBOOT INCOMING!!! BBTory are rebooting the ENTIRE show to get rid of Chibnab's Timeless Child nonsense, and making it so thst RTS doesn't have to DIRECTLY retcon all of it. They are not giving Jodie a regeneration scene, as it is going to get a FULL reboot. Omg, Chibnab just nearly killed off the entire show with his hack writing :cheeseblock: This means that River will no longer be canon, as they are going back to the 10th and 11th Doctors, Tennant and starting again from there!!!! Bloody Chibnab!!! :angry:
January 24, 20223 yr The same source that mentioned Tennant returning has also now said that Catherine Tate will be returning, but not as Donna Noble. They have also claimed that ‘MG’ will be returning, likely to be Murray Gold? It’s worth noting that this same source apparently leaked the Sea Devils returning & Sacha Dhawan as The Master, so there may well be some truth in it.

Probably been cast as side actors for a cameo and someone's putting 2 + 2 together and making 100. Edited January 25, 20223 yr by Chartfridays

January 29, 20223 yr Minor regeneration spoiler, on how it takes place: For the first time, it will take place outside the Tardis!
