Spoilers Russell T. Davies' Second Turn as Doctor Who Showrunner

How does one "hype" an episode that won't air for seven months and hasn't even started filming yet? (And may not until the fall?)

True, true. It's not like he hyped up the 60th Anniversary episodes EIGHTEEN MONTHS in advance or anything.

"We start shooting in a few months, it's going to be amazing." So difficult!

…Because they were filmed EIGHTEEN MONTHS in advance, so he had something to talk about. I know having no news is a bummer by comparison.
"Millions of you watched me on Sex Education. About twelve of you watched me on Doctor Who."
:lol:
It’s cute, and maybe vaguely defensible if you’re considering global audience. But because Netflix shows are included in UK ratings data, we know that the highest-rated episode of Sex Education’s fourth and final series from 2023 had about as many UK viewers in its first week of release as the lowest-rated episode across the two Fifteenth Doctor series from 2024 and 2025. Mind you, almost no one is watching SNL UK itself, and Gatwa’s episode was the least-watched to date, so “millions of you” itself is rather wishful.
 
Someone (I think @AntonyF) recommended a thread title edit a while back, since Davies is no longer new. Just peeked in here and updated it.
He sent me a message a few months ago, since I originated the thread. (I was at the mechanic getting my car inspected the day the news about RTD dropped way back then, and posted from the waiting room...) I kinda left it on read, unfortunately; I didn't have the mental space to deal.
 
I think after a year, even Premium members can't change the thread title. That was something I ran into awhile ago.
