Unsure how much stock to put in this. Yes, #DoctorWho was proudly inclusive & queer, which pissed off a loud minority of bigots. But the bottom line in TV: RATINGS. If the stories had been better & if Ncuti had been a more visible promoter of the series... who knows. www.avclub.com/doctor-who-t...
Doctor Who was reportedly "too woke" for Disney in "Trump's USA"

It's official: #DoctorWho is returning! The not-so-good news: RTD is still involved. (Hurts to say that. I'd viewed RTD as a beacon of hope 3 yrs ago.) Also, no Disney+, unsurprising considering the lackluster post-Tennant ratings & stories. Still. Positive thoughts! www.doctorwho.tv/news-and-fea...

Once again, I'm astonished that the phenomenal Series 9 of #DoctorWho with Peter Capaldi was TEN YEARS AGO.
Not since the early Philip Hinchcliffe days with Tom has a single season been so consistently good (giving side-eye to Sleep No More 😑), & we sadly haven't seen the like since. --Ken

ON THIS DAY... 10 years ago, The Woman Who Lived was first broadcast on BBC One. It aired at 8.20pm and received a viewership of 6.11 million.

Yep, new episode is up! Check out our reactions to your lead actors doing their best Nick Fury impersonation & trying to land the finale of Series 6's convoluted season-long plot. #DoctorWho

Honestly, this opinion is something I wish I thought more about, because I agree 100%. For all the playfulness of Smith's Doctor, he was able to shift in a split-second to this Ancient Being - with just a look! A nuanced, masterful performance. #DoctorWho

Happy Birthday to the garrulous, magnetic, mesmerizing Colin Baker! Without his contributions as the Sixth Doctor, we wouldn't have even started our podcast, @preparethetimelash.bsky.social. Enjoy your day, sir! #DoctorWho

Hard to believe that I never listened to @bigfinish.bsky.social's 2003 release, JUBILEE, by Robert Shearman. It is outstanding. My jaw literally dropped several times while listening to it! It's right up there with BF's best, on par with The Rocket Men and Davros. Give it a listen! #DoctorWho

There's now lots of discussion regarding hurriedly shot new footage for the #DoctorWho finale, based in part on this photo from a scene not in the finished episode. *Did* Ncuti decide at the last minute, necessitating new scenes to be shot? Would that explain the awkward, abrupt Belinda sendoff?

Excellent point I'd overlooked among the crazy events in the finale. Totally agree she likely saved more episodes than we realized. Oddly, too, these 2 seasons have been closer in tone to Chibnall's than Moffat's or even RTD's first run. The 1st 10 amazing yrs of modern #DoctorWho seem far away now.
Watching tonight's ep, it strikes me if you'd only seen her first minute and last minute in the role, you'd assume you'd missed out on the peak of the show.
I've shifted from 'not her fault' to 'she must have salvaged more than we'll ever know'.

Whenever we do get new #DoctorWho, it should ideally have 2 things:
1) A different showrunner. RTD too often approaches stories as though he's wishing on Baby Desiderium.
2) A return to a smaller core cast, especially in the finales. I love Kate & UNIT, but not the Towering Inferno-size cast.

OK, let's talk #DoctorWho "Wish World." Fun for the first half, looks great, & ultimately brings us to an avalanche of exposition and a realization that "The Wedding of River Song" - deeply flawed as it was - still did it better. Why, WHY, is another member of the Pantheon shoehorned in here... 1/2
