Russell T. Davies Returns to Doctor Who as New Showrunner

Hopefully Ncuti's just a little under the weather or it's a scheduling conflict rather than anything serious.

Sure the Internet is ablaze with conspiracy theories ;)

On a personal note one can never have too much of Sophie so I'm not too unhappy (and it's literally a couple of minutes of screen time anyway)
 
After all the rumours of Ncuti being replaced... It's finally confirmed. And it is a female who will replace him.


Sophie Ellis Baxter will be taking over from Ncuti Gatwa at Eurovision
:p

Good to see they kept the Doctor Who connection.
 
So apparently, the Mirror's reporting that Doctor Who is, in fact, not dead, likely heading on one year hiatus, but will come back in 2027, with or without Disney money.

Which, if true, makes sense. At least, to me.

I've no doubt that the BBC won't just let the series die but I'll need more than a totally unsubstantiated story from a garbage tabloid before I relax.
 
There will be a special episode of Unleashed celebrating 20 years of New Who which will air in June. No Eccleston unsurprisingly, but no Smith or Capaldi either. I know they don't want to return in an acting capacity but it wouldn't kill them do do a quick interview.
 
So the rumor/theory is

Billie Piper is the incumbent doctor till 2027

To be more precise the person responsible the accurate leaks said it was a woman who was at the BAFTAs who'd been in the series before. I could definitely see Russell doing it for the free publicity but she's not the only possibility. Felicity Jones was also there, for one.
 
So we can be pretty sure who the Unholy Trinity is.
What doesn't make sense is, why a radical blogger butthead is taking one seat of those.
My expectation is that the Rani(s) are playing him and will make him (or try to) the vessel for the Master. We still have one tooth encased Master unaccounted for and he would be a much better fit for this trio.
Do you all think he could sport a goatee?
 
I'm going to say right now. 48:22 does not mean what I'm sure many are going to think it means.
It just feels like the sort of thing that whoever leaked this stuff intentionally included specifically to wind the fans up and get them thinking That Character is indeed showing up when in fact they're not coming at all. Strictly IMO, go ahead, bookmark this, I'll own it if I'm wrong.

Well, maybe I'll retcon my claim after the fact to line up with whatever actually happens. Haven't decided on that yet. ;)
Well, looks like it's time for me to admit that I was wrong.

Obviously everyone missed the subtle nuance of what I was actually saying as I clearly knew ALL ALONG that Susan was returning and it's the rest of you doubters who should be apologizing right now as well as basking in my definitive and indisputable awesomeness. Bow down, everyone. BOW DOWN.

:shifty:

;)

This is not from any leaks so pure speculation but I think they'll need a human to make the wishes for them.

Once again pure speculation but I think it's going to be revealed that the events of 'Wild Blue Yonder' caused the "real" universe to start to merge with the Land of Fiction, which will be the Underverse named in the episode descriptions.

This will explain all the weird shit that's happened over the past two series up to and including the previously mythical bi-regeneration becoming real and the Doctor will sacrifice himself separating the two universes again.
 
Come on, people. The Mrs. Flood Theories thread is one thing, but this isn't a spoiler thread. A lot of people haven't seen the episode yet! Thank the gods I stayed out of here until I saw it until tonight, otherwise I would be pissed right now.

Just use some common courtesy.
