Given that there’s been no definite announcement that he’s leaving, I’d guess that it’s currently ‘in negotiation’. Quite possibly Chris Chibnall wants a musical shake-up to go with the gender shake-up, and the two of them are seeing if they can go with what the other wants. I wouldn’t say ‘no’ to a musical shake-up; I’ve got CDs and CDs…[Read more]

@Wolfweed

Well done you! That’s very exciting. 🙂

@MissRori

You can’t. Fix other people, I mean. They can only fix themselves, and you can only fix yourself.

Glad to know you’ve been looking into stuff; that’s the first step. If you keep looking, something will come up. Which sounds a bit ‘if you build it, they will come’, but I’ve found that it’s often the way things work – and the route to…[Read more]

Big Finish Audio are bringing out The War Master in December – it’s being voiced by Sir Derek Jacobi, so it’s probably semi-canon that the Master during at least part of the Time War was Derek Jacobi’s Master.

I’m sure he’s delighted to get another go on audio, given that he had about five minutes on TV to…[Read more]

@wolfweed – perfect, as ever.

@whisht, @jimthefish, @missrori

Thanks for your good wishes. I’ll have to see if the draft is any good on November 30th. 🙂

Yes, I’m doing NaNoWriMo this year. No, I haven’t done it before. I’ve got an idea that’s been running through my head for years, and I’m hoping that a deadline and online community might be the stimulus to take it from ‘in my head’ to ‘first draft on page’.

Do you have a Doctor Who gif for running around in circles panicking? Because…[Read more]

Given the number of writers we have on here: is anyone else bonkers enough to be doing NaNoWriMo this year?

@Missy

Well, there you are, I rest my case. You can’t help how you feel can you.

Except my feelings are based on a programme I’ve seen; your feelings are based on a programme you haven’t seen yet.

I rest my case.

@Craig

Sorry to hear it – obviously, I hope it turns out to be the promotion. Best wishes.

@Missy

wonder just how many Whovians truly *like* the idea, or aren’t outspoken enough to say that they don’t.

I think many Whovians – even if they don’t like the idea – are willing to see it as an experiment. Gender-switching the Master to Missy worked magnificently; so time to try the same with the Doctor. Will it work? Well, until we try it…[Read more]

@Missy

You never can tell until you’ve seen the new Doctor (in more than one scene).

I was really looking forward to Peter Capaldi’s run – and yet somehow (for me) he never got beyond being some Time Lord who called himself The Doctor. Yet John Hurt was (again, for me) effortlessly ‘The Doctor’ in his single TV appearance. Weird. And I know a…[Read more]
