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

Paramount Plus. Taylor Sheridan as the new showrunner. Stetsons are cool again. You heard it here first.

Actually, that could make episodes set in the past rather interesting.

Quite a lot of posts last night suggesting BBC are in talks with HBO and Netflix regarding Dr Who

Chances are high that the BBC can't even talk to other streamers until their contract with Disney officially lapses, which probably wouldn't be until after the spinoff airs.

I very much hate the idea of Doctor Who being inside Amazon or Apple's walled gardens. I hate that series that have been mass-market concepts, like Star Trek, are being put behind walls. Walls limit the reach and make the concepts niche. If Doctor Who or Star Trek need a walled garden to live, maybe they're really already dead.

To be honest, I think the "walled gardens" say more about the current state of the market than about the series within those gardens. Although, if it says anything about the series, it's probably just that they're relatively expensive to make.

But I agree with the sentiment. I'd love for those series to be freely available.
