Watching the TVM Making of, it occurred to me that the cancelled Xmas 2026 special is basically New Who’s version of ‘The Dark Dimension’: a big event put together after the end of the series starring old cast members, but cancelled because a new era is being planned #DoctorWho
OK, I think I know how to save Doctor Who. Just do it Red Dwarf style! Slap something like this onto the first episode, fill in a few blanks, bing bang bosh, sorted! #doctorwho#reddwarf#BBC
I see a lot of blame going to Disney for what's happened. While they're not blameless (sorry to defend an evil mega-corp) I think they just wanted a broad-appeal family show on Disney+.
Instead, Bad Wolf gave them something actively hostile to newcomers, so Disney left.
