Spoilers Two big characters return for anniversary.

[The Wormhole]

*cough* Fifteenth

I was about to say that Tennant 2.0 would be the Fourteenth as RTD is already calling Gatwa the Fifteenth. But then I realized, you're adjusting for the War Doctor, aren't you?

EDIT: Never mind, just saw you post in the Special's discussion thread and know what you're really referring to. I think we can both agree at this point the Doctor's numbering system is a mess, to put it mildly.

 

[DigificWriter]

Neither of them were disrespected.

I disagree.

There was absolutely no reason for what's happened to happen other than pandering fanwank, which reduces Jodie's farewell to a footnote and dininishes Ncuti's eventual arrival.

That's disrespectful to them both.

You haven't seen it yet have you so my lips are sealed but you'll understand (and yes the numberings all over the place!)

 

[The Wormhole]

Damn, I think I edited my above post at the same time you wrote yours. Needless to say, I am aware of what you're referring to.

Nope.

I followed the Spoilers so that I don't have to see it right now because I think the decision is the height of stupidity (hence why I dismissed it as BS) and the absolute definition of pandering fanwank.

Whatever.

Hey, remember back in the spring when you said this to me:

In the words of Nathaniel Wayne, the host of the Council of Geeks YouTube channel, "Just Stop".

 

[Jinn]

If nothing else this whole thing has reminded me that Council of Geeks is a good YouTube channel that I should really start watching again.

 

[Captaindemotion]

You were saying?

Every. Single. Time.

The press coverage of the Tennant reveal (which is gamely treating it as some kind of big surprise, bless them) confirms that the three specials will air in November 2023, with Gatwa’s full debut later in the year.

 

[The Wormhole]

So weird to think there will be no Doctor Who this holiday season. First time since 2004.

I was about to point out the same. It'll be interesting to get three specials in such short succession as oppose to spread through out the year.

So weird to think there will be no Doctor Who this holiday season. First time since 2004.

That's also going to be weird.

...maybe we'll get a surprise holiday mini-special as a side story?

Yeah, probably not.

 

[Turtletrekker]

Wow, this thread title wound up being a little inaccurate concerning the number of returning characters.

 

[Starkers]

I'll say one thing for Chibnall, he's been very good at keeping things secret.

 

[captainkirk]

I don't have the energy to dig through old posts to find it, but I seem to recall Digific also saying there definitely wouldn't be three anniversary specials, something we now know is true.

 

[The Knappos]

I was wrong about both Jodie and Ncuti getting disrespected in favor of pandering fanwank.

Are you happy?

Have those archaeologists had any luck finding out the last time you were happy about anything?

 

[The Knappos]

Wow, this thread title wound up being a little inaccurate concerning the number of returning characters.

The thread title's in respect of the announcement that Tennant and Tate are back as co-leads for the 60th, not any of the cameos in Power of the Doctor

 

[Ar-Pharazon]

Wow, this thread title wound up being a little inaccurate concerning the number of returning characters.

I know right? And for the first time in, what, decades, some unspoiled stuff? I had ZERO clue we would get all those others, even as cameos.
