Spoilers Russell T. Davies Returns to Doctor Who as New Showrunner
- Thread starter Allyn Gibson
- Start date
I was always curious to see a Davies episode during the Moffat era to see the stark difference in storytelling style from Davies trying to build or complete a season arc. Alas, it never happened.I still think if RTD were to remain involved he should just be barred from writing season finales
I also think he should have been in The Story and The Engine instead of Jo Martin. XD
The whitest Doctor ever?
Strong disagree. Jo Martin was the perfect choice for that scene.
But I agree that it would've been really cool to see Peter Davison reprise the role. But that would've been to quiet and nuanced for Davies's taste, which has always leaned heavily towards the bombastic.
The whitest Doctor ever?
Davisons father was West Indian/Caribbean, from Guyana.
Plus, y’know, Cricket is the great religion of the commonwealth xD
And the very fact he is seen as the ‘whitest’ is what could have made for something quite powerful I think, especially in that story — which was like a sort of parable retelling the history of Omega and the Time Lords, whether by intent or not.
But yup, too subtle for RTD.
I've gotta strongly disagree here, I really enjoyed RTD2 too, I'd say it's the difference between an 8/10 for RTD2, vs a 9.6 for Moffat.
I'll admit, I don't remember it very well past where I'm at now, but I'm pretty sure I enjoyed Moffat's the whole run pretty evenly all the way through.Moffat's run is pretty good up until Clara joins. You can tell he's running out of steam, and it gets progressively worse from then on. Again, you'll have some stand out episodes, but you start to get more duds than good episodes.
Check out The Girl Who Waited.
The Girl Who Waited (TV story)
The Girl Who Waited was the tenth episode of series 6 of Doctor Who. The moral choice at the centre of the story made it a character study of the relationship between Amy and Rory. The Eleventh Doctor's recklessness toward travelling across history would also be brought into question, and how he...tardis.fandom.com
Holy crap. The 28 day figures are in for the first two episodes of TWB and they are:
Episode 1: 6.1M - 41% increase over the 7 day figures / 217% over the overnights.
Episode 2 5.1 - 43% increase over the 7 day figures / 242% over the overnights.
Damn shame we don't have them for S2 because I think they will seriously rewrite the narrative around it's performance.

I don't understand why Billie Piper, like Benedict Cumberbatch and Olivia Colman, doesn't appear in major Hollywood productions filmed in the US, in addition to British productions shot in the UK and surrounding countries. She might have winked at Hollywood by appearing in season 2 of Wednesday Show, but season 2 of Wednesday Show was filmed in Ireland.
Madness! Insanity! Craziness! Why the ever!
