Colin Baker Voice: American? AMERICAN?!
If you're doing a Doctor who's not British, there's one obvious choice: Canadian.
Well, Rob Shearman isn't ever going be be asked back now. (Not that he ever seemed to be interested in doing so.)

Was it Shearman whose wife told him never to do Who again or was it Joe Ahearne I can't remember
^^Joe Ahearne. IIRC, Shearman has a new Doctor Who novel due out anytime now.
Yeah I think even as I wrote it I figured it was Ahearne (forever the man who made the phenomenal Ultraviolet in the late 90s).
That first season was really tough on a lot of people wasn't it?
It sure was. RTD himself has even admitted they didn't really know what they were doing during production of that season, contributing to the disorganized mess it was, production wise.
Ever is a long time. More like until the next producing team.Well, Rob Shearman isn't ever going be be asked back now. (Not that he ever seemed to be interested in doing so.)

...if Shearman wanted to come back. Either way, this is hardly a death blow for him.
Two, Jubilee and Chimes of Midnight, based on a couple of audios he wrote a long time back for Big Finish. They're being described as radical reinterpretations rather than straightforward novelizations. I'm looking forward to them.
1) Shearman has said time and time again he wouldn't come back cause he's "moved on" whatever that means. But I honestly always wanted to see him back.
2) He's not exact;y wrong, even if I don't entirely agree.
3) what are you guy refering to re:Ahearne?

The Chimes of Midnight is perfect as it is so I'm not sure if I would want to read that, but I was always underwhelmed by Jubilee so perhaps that would be worth checking out.
That's pretty close to how I feel, but I'll read them both anyway.
That said, I feel that The Holy Terror has an expansive enough of a world to play with that I would be curious to read an adaptation of it, if he were to write one.

Everything he's written is pretty great (including his "debut" story Punchline and the one-epsode story of the 100 anthology featuring Sixie and Evelyn, but I always thought Jubilee was, like Real Time, set up for a sequel story that completes it but never came. Still good, but for me, that feeling never escapes.*
*Same with Battlefield, also.

Australian first.
I wouldn't be surprised if the next time we see Doctor Who it is as a big budget Movie with a big name star as The Doctor. Also a big name Director. Like maybe Terry Gilliam or Danny Boyle.
Joe Ahearne claimed his experience working on the first season was having a negative impact on his mental health. His wife felt the situation could have been potentially life threatening (or at least life altering) if he continued working on the show, and so he hasn't been back to Doctor Who since.
Which also means that when Eccleston told Moffat he'd do Day of the Doctor if Ahearne directed, there'd be no way for Moffat to fulfill that request even if he were inclined to.
Thanks, that context is much appreciated.
Man, what a shit show. And yet, what an amazing season that inspired what came next! Would love to see an honest documentary about it at some point.
Sydney Newman was Canadian, so we get the first shot at it.
I would be surprised. Terry Gilliam is 85 years old and hasn't made a movie in several years, much less a big budget one. The BBC can't do a big budget theatrical release, so you're pretty much looking at Hollywood, and they're probably aware that Doctor Who didn't deliver what Disney expected. They're not likely to find that a good basis for spending a couple hundred million dollars.
