Spoilers Russell T. Davies Returns to Doctor Who as New Showrunner


How much more stressful is tv production today compared to a like decade ago, especially with fewer episodes, considering tv back in 2015 also had tons of cgi and camera angles and reshoots? The only difference, episode count aside, that I can think of is that the new stuff was framed with 9:16 aspect ratio for social media as much as it was for 16:9 (hence a lot of empty space scenes with key characters placed side-by-side, which would be easier to frame for the camera as they're focusing on what's in the middle (9:16). )

Also, will the next Doctor be 8?
 
You know what bothers about that?
People have loved the Doctor Who ‘Brand’.

No. No they haven’t. It isn’t a brand.

I feel sorry for the young folk saying ‘At least it’s better than 1989’ when it is basically, in fact, exactly like 1989 as far as the show itself is concerned. To the point of there even being rumours the Tardis set has been taken down. (Which is exactly how the last hiatus began. Sort of.)
 
What shows have the lead actor(s) doing constant running around like that?

I mean lots of them? Several MCU shows such as The Falcon and the Winter Soldier and Hawkeye spring to mind. Eddie Redmayne and Lashana Lynch did a whole lot of rushing about in The Day of the Jackal Last year.

And I think the idea that the Doctor somehow runs around more than other fictional characters is something of a fallacy. As I've already started, there's plenty of episodes in the last two seasons where Ncuti hasn't had an awful lot to do at all.
