My pitch for a new take on Doctor Who:

Anthology series. Self-contained episodes, each with a different actor playing the Doctor. Nobody who's played the role before, at least not in the first season.

The Doctor can be the main character in some episodes and a background character in others (a la Blink and Dot & Bubble).

Finished #TheWarBetweenTheLandAndTheSea

It was good. Sad. And doesn't need a sequel.

We recently started rewatching the Peter Davison era of Doctor Who. Fitting in two episodes every Sunday night. I jotted down thoughts after finishing Castrovalva tonight. We're still working through the Blu-ray special features of interest to us. https://vivdunstan.dreamwidth.org/793712.html #DoctorWho

Doctor When

"DOCTOR WHO is gone. STAR TREK has reached the end of its cycle. The STARGATE reboot was cancelled. The new STAR WARS film did not do well, and I believe they only have one more film in the pipeline. The MCU is not in a great place and the shape of its future will balance on the two new AVENGERS films. SUPERMAN’s takings were soft and SUPERGIRL is tracking at less than half of SUPERMAN’s opening.

And the two biggest films of the last month were made for less than a million each by directors ..."

La série Doctor Who n’est pas annulée, mais la BBC change les règles

La fin du spécial de Noël et l’appel d’offres lancé par la BBC ont affolé les fans. Pourtant, la série passe surtout par une étape devenue obligatoire.

It looks like the TARDIS is going to be parked for a while - at least on TV - giving us a moment to reflect (in a level-headed way) on the state of this and other long-running franchises, and on streaming TV as a whole, while also recognizing that there's still a lot of new #DoctorWho happening. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVeWx4NYcdU

It’s (not) the end, but the moment has been prepared for! Well, not as such but a press release from the BBC confirms what we long suspected: there will not be a Christmas special nor were plans for one ever seriously pursued. Sad news to be sure, but we’ve cobbled together industry and wider fan reaction along with our own lengthy takes tinged with what we’d like to think is both optimism and realism. More importantly, we have former Doctor Who Magazine editor Tom Spilsbury to give us his rather more informed take on the whole situation. Brave Heart, Tegan, after all somewhere the tea is getting cold.
