Russell T. Davies Returns to Doctor Who as New Showrunner
- Thread starter Allyn Gibson
- Start date
Is the 1992 Shada VHS representation be included as the Curator entry?
Beyond that... I can't muster much enthusiasm for this. Seems utterly disposable really, and not much that I'd care about. Sorry.

That is going to be a lot if fun, RTD knocking it out the park once again, 60th anni is cooking up nicely. :-)
The cynic in me says they are doing this because we won't see any other Doctor in the 60th specials and also to stop former Who actors making another fan film like they did for the 50th.
I think there’s an element of that.
Do you mean the Five(ish) Doctors? I thought that was released officially(ish)?
It was also paid for by the BBC. If Davison wanted to make something new on his own dime he's free to as long as he doesn't charge for it.

I've been praying for the last couple of years that Davison has already been secretly working on a sequel. He certainly has expressed interest in doing one. Fingers crossed!
He wrote one, but there was a diversity gag that meant it didn’t get the go ahead. I think the first one was more a ‘they made it, bbc bought it’ kind of deal. All done on favours and made piecemeal.
Matthew Waterhouse has talked on Twitter about running into Wendy, Frazier et al in Cardiff in September and them assuming he was there for the same reason they were, while he had no idea. Poor Adric, always left out of the fun.
I don't know if it's just supposition on his part but he says there wasn't a 4th Doctor one because Tom doesn't really travel these days and Louise Jameson was too busy.

Also, Lalla's in Hong Kong pretty much full time from what I understand.
Tardis Tales via FaceTime. Which given Romana was in e-space, fits well. Maybe she gives Adric a buzz on prehistoric earth after he somehow survived the crash and no one went to look xD
A shame about no Fourth Doctor and super awkward for Matthew. Especially since he, following Janet's footsteps, has more openly embrace Whodom and doing Big Finish regularly now.
Sadly, given Tom's age and health it's not a surprise. Just a shame we couldn't get something with the companions at least.

Two new guest stars IDed on set: Joel Fry from 'Our Flag Means Death' (and lots of other things) and Nicola Coughlan from 'Derry Girls' and 'Bridgerton'.
The new SFX has a big interview with Russell in it. (People of a nervous disposition should be aware that he talks about working on Seasons 1 to 4, not Series 14 to 17.)
And it shouldn't really be a surprise to anyone but he states categorically that The Timeless Child is the Doctor's origin and he won't be changing or ignoring it.
Spin-offs are planned but not imminent. No truth to a UNIT series.
