@ecossefilmmaker @Showmasters I’ve never been to a showmasters con but I remember people complaining about them the last few years and saying they only care about the money. Most likely they’re looking for someone as big as her they can announce so people go and they can keep the money 💰

@DoctorFreedom1 Former dr who writer talks smack about show

[The Spectator @spectator]

The BBC has binned its planned Doctor Who Christmas special and put the show 'out to tender'. This is a face-saving TV industry term for saying you've kicked an ailing show into the longest of grass, but don't want to enrage its most rabid fans.

Good luck with that, chaps. Essentially it translates as 'Somebody please, please take this nightmare off our hands'. It’s like one of those Facebook ads you see for a dog that needs rehousing because it barks all night, gnaws on toddlers, and has no control of its bowels, but is a total sweetie, honestly.

If by some bizarre quirk of circumstance I found myself the unwilling owner of the tender, I'd put Doctor Who on ice for at least a decade. Much has been written in the past few days about what happened to poor old Doctor Who, how the thing was revived in glory and then retoxified in shame.

As a former writer on Doctor Who, I was actually in the room when some of the mistakes were made. I offer the following suggestions – in a reflective but constructive spirit – for anybody barmy enough to take the thing on. (And yes, I broke many of these 'rules' myself, but I know better now.)

From The Rest is Entertainment - things were already set for Doctor Who to be put out to tender in 2028/29. Christmas 2026 was to bridge the gap; but internal shifts at the BBC meant that a decision was made to put that tender process forwards to show confidence in Doctor Who.

[Childhood Source @childhoodsource]

One of the most interesting things I recently learned is that, around the time of iCarly and Victorious, Dan wrote a specific audition scene that his casting team had actors perform to showcase their range.

The scene featured a character named Alex Mitchell, and the challenge was simple: deliver the same line (or perform the same action) multiple times, each with a completely different emotion, voice, or mannerism. From what I’ve heard, the entire Victorious cast had to read this scene during the pilot audition process.

I’ve also been told these audition pages eventually circulated beyond Nickelodeon and were used on other productions around Hollywood.

Does anyone happen to have a copy of the Alex Mitchell audition scene or know where it can be found? It has to exist somewhere. I’m even fairly certain a member of the Victorious cast has spoken about this in an interview before.

There's no thanks nor praise to be found from the BBC as Russell T Davies and Bad Wolf withdraw and Doctor Who Christmas special plans are scrapped. See replies for more information on Doctor Who's future.
