Guy who wrote some of the worst episodes of Doctor Who before being unceremoniously kicked off the show for being a total prick has some opinions about the future of the show everyone!!!

[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.)

Richard Osman very rarely has a good take on anything but holy fuck he's cooking here. Why didn't I think of this???

This wasn’t an order it was a plea

Whatever happens to Doctor Who I pray to God they don't serialise it

@JohnMartinPugh Sue for what? You've lost nothing?

[munch!! 💚 @realmunchbob]

@Rob1n1Out Couldn't care less about RTD's feelings, he's going to be absolutely fine, but this is just weird behaviour. Not really sure what you expected to get out of this, you didn't even say anything particularly funny.

[munch!! 💚 @realmunchbob]

Anyway, anyone have any good suggestions for so-bad-it's-good Classic Who? In the mood for low budget silliness (what doctor who should always be)

RTD took a risk (a bad one, I'm not defending it) but it absolutely was a risk that needed to be taken.

I have no idea what's gonna happen now and nor does anyone. But this current situation is a culmination of poor decisions over the last decade.

Instagram post I'll share here (go follow me over there @ munch.bob bc I am leaving this app again as soon as I get bored of this lol)

@EstrogenChic Bad day for people who made the show their whole personality

[munch!! 💚 @realmunchbob]

@BoomEruption @scottygb The key difference is 2026 BBC actively wants to make more Doctor Who, 1989 BBC very much did not.

A lot of blame being laid at RTD's feet at the moment (which is absolutely warranted giving the absolute fuck up of the Disney deal and the spotty writing) but let's not pretend the show hasn't been struggling one way or another since the last half of the Moffatt era.

[Jean-Luc @thatotherharry]

Doctor Who and Balamory can't coexist it would seem

[munch!! 💚 @realmunchbob]

RTD2 was a mess but I do not owe Chibnall a fucking thing lmao

[munch!! 💚 @realmunchbob]

His plans are measured in decades

Temporarily redownloading to engage in doctor who cancellation discource because this is too good to miss.
