Ncuti Gatwa is the 15th Doctor

[Guy Gardener]

The Doctor tries to visit ALL 17 Disney Theme Parks in one day.

The Doctor Meets Walt on opening Day for Disney Land 1955. There's an urban legend (historical fact) about women's high heels sinking into the melting asphalt that was laid improperly, but it seems to me that some one sonic-ed it.

The Doctor gets stuck in a cartoon and meets Mary Poppins who is a Time Lady who has also been stuck in that movie for 60+ years.

The Doctor's new companion habitually wheres mickey mouse ears always, like Louise with her bunny ears on Bob's Burgers.

Class happened a few years too early. I think that idea would have been something Disney would have been into.

 

[The Wormhole]

I see Davies overseeing the whole thing, but I don't think he'll stretch himself so far again, especially after Torchwood and Sarah-Jane Adventures.

RTD didn't actually have any direct involvement in the day-to-day affairs of Torchwood or SJA, they had separate to handle that. Chibnall ran Torchwood while Gareth Roberts ran SJA. Indeed, a regret of his expressed in The Writer's Tale is that he wasn't as involved in the spin-offs as he would have liked to be.

Hard disagree. We can still get most of those to work as long those shows can bring a strong enough hook outside what we fans already know and love. Other shows and films have accomplished that feat and I don't see no reason that can't happen here, with the right writers.

Absolutely. None of us knew Madame Vastra Jenny or Strax before they appeared in A Good Man Goes to War yet they clearly had a history with the Doctor. Why would a, for example, Amy and Rory show be any different? All original characters have a backstory we only see in glimpses, the difference is with an Ace/Tegan show you could slip actual flashbacks in there!

Why not? Disney seems more open to LGBTQ characters, these days.

Yes and no, take Strange World. Gay lead = good, inability/unwillingness to release it world wide = bad (I appreciate some of this is down to local censorship but they also refused to release it theatrically in a whole host of countries where it wouldn't have been fine).

Is this sarcasm?

 

[Starkers]

Not intentionally, it's a statement of fact. That was the first episode we saw those characters in yet clearly the Doctor had already encountered each of them in offscreen adventures.

 

[Mr. Adventure]

One of the charming ways that fandom has overreacted to the Disney+ deal is by acting as though Disney+ is the Disney Channel circa 1999, rather than a streaming service that has plenty of all ages and even adult content on it, including, just as a random example as I scroll through, Love, Victor and the two Deadpool movies.

The new series Willow has two of the leads in a blossoming gay relationship and it's not a background thing but very front-and-center. Thinking Disney would never go for something like that might not hold up anymore.

That said, personally I'd rather not have a Paternoster series but it has nothing to do with that.

 

[The Nth Doctor]

And again, The Owl House, an animated kids show with multiple LGBTQ+ characters and relationships.

Plus one of the subplots in Strange World was the son's dilemma in telling another boy he's attracted to him. Disney's fine.

 

[Chaos Descending]

I completely forgot that they actually debuted in that episode. For some reason I though they'd been introduced before that.

I must be getting senile.

Easily done given we're told the Doctor has met them before, plus Neve McIntosh was a Silurian in the Hungry Earth/Cold Blood just for added confusion.

I believe Disney straightwashes their movies before they are allowed Chinese entry.

It looks like Ncuti finally finished with the extra shooting he had to do for 'Sex Education' and finally made a public appearance, albeit from quite a distance.

I knew he wouldn't be sticking to the one outfit, though he's clearly got a thing for orange!

Has it only even been the front of TARDIS prop that has the signage or that some sort of stand in?

 

[David cgc]

I think it's got a fitted tarp over it. Or it's just over-sharpened digital zoom.

 

[Rich Watson]

Given how much zoom was used it's probably just been lost, as it's definitely on all four sides.

 

[matthunter]

Or they're hiding the fact that this is the Master's TARDIS from Power of the Doctor with HaHaHaHaHaaa written over it.

 

[Mr. Adventure]

It's like a watercolor painting.

 

[Rich Watson]

We might finally get a proper look at Ncuti in action (as opposed to from half a mile away) this week.
