Well, this was certainly a lot of words.
Spoilers Russell T. Davies Returns to Doctor Who as New Showrunner
- Thread starter Allyn Gibson
- Start date
Yeah the show's definitely dead. A new CBBC show commissioned, a Christmas special set for the end of this year, a search for a new show runner and maybe a new partner....
Absolutely as dead as a not remotely dead thing!
And I love the idea that the BBC would remotely decide to, checks notes, jettison the last twenty years (plus McGann) including some of the most popular Doctors the show has ever had to effectively have McCoy wake up in the shower ala Bobby Ewing in Dallas with everything that's happened since Survival being just a dream. There isn't a laughing emoji big enough to do that idea justice. I'd point posters towards the fanfic forum but frankly most fanfic writers have way more imagination.
Nothing the modern show has done spoils anything that happened in the classic era. Hartnell is still the First Doctor because the Doctor has almost zero memories before being Hartnell.
Hell there's plenty of stuff I don't really like in the show, but I'd never want to wipe Colin's Doctor for existence (to give one example).
Don't like the modern era? Nobody's making you watch it. Here's a suggestion courtesy of a show RTD produced in the 1980s. "Why don’t you just switch off your television set and go and do something less boring instead?"
