Russell really came back, gave terrible transrep, ruined Sutekh, the Rani and Omega, gave Ruby and Belinda horrible arcs, had the 15th doctor torture a genocide victim and then had them regenerate into Billie Piper...then just dipped. Amazingly done you've killed the show.
hot take: doctor who didn’t go to shit when “it went woke” - it’s always been “woke”, it just wasn’t as on the nail like it is now
the REAL problem is that doctor who got too soft and disneyfied. they need to make it dark and scary again. scar kids like it scarred us as kids
BREAKING 🚨 #DoctorWho has been cancelled for now by the BBC, with a decision to put the show out to tender. The announced Christmas special will no longer go ahead.
Russell T. Davies has also confirmed his departure from the show.
The BBC shared:
Doctor Who remains an important part of the BBC and this tender underpins the BBC’s continued commitment to Doctor Who ensuring audiences will enjoy the show for years to come.
After careful consideration, the BBC, Russell T Davies and Bad Wolf have collectively decided not to go ahead with the previously announced Doctor Who Christmas episode. This decision was not taken lightly, and we know it will be disappointing for fans, but in order to set the show up for future series, it was decided that rather than bridge the gap with a one off special, we are choosing to push forward to invest in the long-term future of the show which ensures that when the TARDIS lands once more, it does so in all its glory.
RTD shared:
And so GOODBYE from me to Doctor Who but HELLO to a big new future for the show, as the BBC announces it's putting the show out to tender. As a result, there won't be a Christmas Special - we only cooked that up to guarantee a future when no one knew what would happen, but now we do know, there's no need for it. You'll have to wait a bit longer for new Doctor Who... but you'll be waiting for MORE Doctor Who than a one-off. So it's worth it! For the record: there was no script, I never wrote it, and no actor was ever approached to play the next Doctor. You may disagree; fine, sit in that chair and wait to be proved right. You'll wait a lonnng time. Now I'm as excited as anyone to see what comes next! Will they keep the theme tune? Will they lose the blue box? Will they bring back the Drahvin?! It's all up for grabs, which is so Doctor Who, exciting and unpredictable and new! Here comes the future, vworp vworp.

@LavandaLad51104 Yesss I’d be very interested! Idk if you’ve read ‘And then there were none’ by Agatha Christie, but I think yandere doctor could easily mirror a Justice Wargrave type. I won’t give spoilers in case you want to watch the series but I’m a stickler for dramatic reveals!
