My guess is that Billie Piper and David Tennant will star, and at the end will *co-generate* into whoever’s next
Russell T. Davies will write a #DoctorWho 2026 Christmas Special, the BBC has confirmed, along with news that their Disney+ deal is over.

Spending my Saturday evening watching Pertwee-era #doctorwho title sequence tests, and imagining the roads not taken. There’s a set where the video feedback looks like a mocking laughing mouth, and while I’ve never found the titles scary like some reportedly have, this was downright unsettling

That is so neat and nerdy, I love it #doctorwho #tribeofclam
Reminds me, didn't someone once propose the theory it was set on early Skaro and the tribes became the Za-ls and the Kal-eds. Whose was it?

Dad’s books are full of empathy, common sense, and a healthy suspicion of the powerful. But at its heart his work is also about how systems keep people poor while pretending it’s their own fault. So I hope Kemi’s taking notes as well as reading the jokes.
Kemi Badenoch claiming Terry Pratchett as her favourite author is wild

Great: Achilles / Man Who Turned Into a Chair / Rainy Sunday Afternoon / Invisible Thread
Good: Pretty Lights / Heart is a Lonely Hunter
Fine: Rabbit Hole / Mar-a-Lago / Can’t Let Go

Granted, Assignment Three isn't the best Sapphire & Steel. But it does feature Steel getting attacked by a flying pillow which then somehow turns into a swan. #SapphireAndSteel

I can't be the only British person depressed at being born in a country where, if you see the country's flag everywhere, you know with certainty they were put there by absolute arseholes who might attack you and who definitely mean harm, whereas in Scandinavian countries it's a +nice+ thing.
In the current context, sticking up flags everywhere is a blatant attempt to intimidate and exclude, I don’t see what there is to argue about
The questions about St George's and union jack flags lining British streets
With St George's and union jack flags appearing on many lampposts, we visit the epicentre of the phenomenon to find out why.

It occurs to me that with the release of The War Between… there will have been 1000 official broadcast episodes of #doctorwho and its various BBC spinoffs, which is absurdly nice round number (caveats to follow)

I wonder if my favourite singer releasing a song yesterday about the end of his father’s life has any bearing on my mood today 🤔

Weirdly I think The Caves of Androzani sort of doesn't count. It's good, don't get me wrong, but it also set the template for the 6th Doctor's run so now feels like the 5th in a 6th story.
