My 73 Yards Suite is out now. There is a brief moment in the episode where it's Christmas, so it counts as a Christmas video. Joy to the World coming soon, probably. youtube.com/watch?v=lSY48U…

@WilliamWho27 DW thrives off of variety. Chris wouldn’t have done full serialization if the series hadn’t been reduced to 6 episodes. As for falling behind the times, shows nowadays have fallen into either the camp of fully serialized or fully anthology, and I’d rather Who tend to the latter.

My biggest surprise with Russell was him not deciding to keep the format of Serialisation that Flux bought to the show. I don’t know if the reception of Flux put them off but it’s a shame they didn’t keep it as Chris said at the time Doctor Who was falling behind the times.

Every showrunner up until now has cultivated a public persona of being witty, friendly, silly, fun-loving kid at heart, with the occasional bit of tongue-in-cheek snark, and I think the next showrunner should just openly be a grumpy asshole in interviews to mix things up a bit.

I really never expected Modern Doctor Who to last a shorter amount of time than Classic Doctor Who. It just wasn’t even in the realm of possibility for me.

I don’t really know if getting even older white guys to run the show is what Doctor Who really needs, but JMS running the show is far more interesting to me than Pete McTighe or any of the other regular writers of the show taking over.

@eveofthedaleks I think RTD was pretty confident/arrogant/naïve about being able to get a third series made in some way shape or form in the near future, so it made sense to properly write Ncuti out rather than do a “walk into the sunset” ending.

@PaulIrvine82015 I feel like he had early sketches of ideas, and the BBC rejected those before he wrote a whole script. It seems weird to me that if he did in fact write a script which got rejected that he would then go on social media and lie to make himself look lazy.

@PaulAndroid4 From my reading of the press releases, I'm inclined to believe that there was a script, but it was more of the same and the BBC finally rejected it.

The fact that Russell never wrote a script and has been acting all lackadaisical regarding the show’s production all year further proves my theory that he only wanted to do the 60th specials and only took over as full time showrunner because no one else would.

@BernardJKD That’s assuming he’s the one that writes it, but then again, I guess, who else would even care enough to do it? And yeah, that’s probably what would happen.

At this point, I say just slap together a minisode to just haphazardly wrap up the dangling threads. Have it be camp and unserious like this Wilderness era’s Dimensions in Time. Just a little thing for the fans to look to for when the eventual new era ignores all of this.

@BernardJKD Well, this is assuming she’d be willing to shoot a brief Comic Relief/CIN type short. I mean, she does Big Finish. It’s not like she never sets time aside for supplemental Who stuff.

Honestly, there’s so many episodes over the past several years that just plain did not feel like professional finished television that it’s surprising that “Oops, no special after all” hasn’t happened before.

@BernardJKD And again, that’s not quite my main point. I’m just saying that Doctor Who as the BBC’s biggest IP is seen as more valuable to them now than it would’ve been in the 90s.

@BernardJKD Doctor Who definitely has a sizable following in the US in the 80s due to PBS airings, but I don’t think it was ever like the Matt Smith era where there were billboards in Time Square. It’s like if Doctor Who was in the same conversations as Star Wars and Star Trek in the 80s.

In all fairness, there’s no way this haitus lasts as long as the last one because Doctor Who, despite the drop in popularity, is still the BBC’s biggest IP that’s near the status of anything in Hollywood. It’s not just the cult TV show it was by 1989. It was a global hit once.

@BernardJKD On top of that, we’re also in the era of IP milking, which I don’t love obviously, but that’s also a reason I can’t see the BBC not prioritizing the show.

@BernardJKD It was a global cult hit, but Doctor Who, especially around the Matt Smith era was omnipresent in global culture on a level that classic Who never quite hit. It sold out Hall H at Comic-Con a couple years in a row. That’s nearly Marvel level.

There’s gonna be a sizable gap in time for sure while they find a creative team, production partner, and funding source, and I welcome that because it needs a break, but there’s no way the BBC have any interest in letting it sit indefinitely.

Can you imagine if Kevin Feige hopped on instagram tomorrow to say “there’s no avengers doomsday, we lied. we just wanted to secure the future of the franchise”
George Sheard@gbsheard

Not only has Russell confirmed his departure, it has also been confirmed that no script was written for the Christmas special and no one was cast. Incredibly disappointing but again, I'd rather something meaningful than something forced just to bridge a gap

I’m not sure a final special from Russell would have even wrapped everything up satisfyingly anyways. For one thing, if Susan was in it, he probably would’ve tried to pull that Poppy shit again, and there’s a non-zero chance he would’ve just shoved another cliffhanger in there.

I don’t even care who writes it. I don’t even care if it’s a Children in Need special or just some YouTube skit. I just need this Billie Piper thing to officially be put out of the way.
