@nuwhovianjean I hope you’ll take my advice earlier on in this topic about how to watch Doctor Who on BBC iPlayer from outside the UK, just by using a VPN and looking up a residential address, then inputting at least the Post Code. The BBC website has no news for Doctor Who dated after 2021. I demand a new series of Doctor Who with 26 episodes of…[Read more]

Here’s some more details about the production of future Doctor Who episodes, dated October 25, 2022. Read what it says under the pic of Ncuti Gatwa.

As for the scripts lined up for Ncuti Gatwa, based on a clip of him as well as some rumours of…[Read more]

@janetteb I don’t think the American writers’ and actors’ strikes will affect these specials at all, for the following two reasons.

1. Filming of these specials must have finished ages ago! They’ve had enough time to make two whole series by now!!

2. Doctor Who isn’t a US production. They’re just getting funding from Disney+.

@nuwhovianjean I assume you’re outside the UK, otherwise you’d be using BBC iPlayer for this. I’ve just had a quick look round on bbc.co.uk/iplayer so I can confirm that the episodes from Series 1 and Series 13 are still there and marked that they will continue to be available for “over a year”. All other series are listed there and Series 8 also…[Read more]

@Devilishrobby Star Maidens wasn’t a Gerry Anderson co production! Gerry Anderson was never mentioned. As anyone can look up in a few seconds it was produced by Portman Productions for ITV and partly financed by the organisation Werbung in Rundfunk, using revenue from the limited TV commercials (before 20:00) on the German channel ZDF.  There…[Read more]

@janetteB I’m not talking about any productions by NETFLIX in German, I’m talking about productions by any of various German TV channels, and/or by other TV channels based in the EU. You’ve probably never herd of these TV channels, because you’ve been brainwashed! Most of them have “Mediatheken”, meaning streaming services similar to BBC iPlayer.…[Read more]

The Guardian article just says “Doctor Who, which is now being produced in partnership with the streaming service Disney+, is also likely to be affected by strike action”. AFAIK Disney+ is only giving lots of money to the production company Bad Wolf. I think this means it won’t be affected. The good news is that because of this strike by writers…[Read more]

@thane16 No, I’m not high, not an actor, and not a writer either. When I say I’m not a writer, I mean that I don’t write any short stories, books, or scripts, although I might be able to. My favourite TV programmes are “Doctor Who” and all Star Trek series except the animated ones. I’ve recently been watching some other series on Britbox, such as…[Read more]

@janetteB it actually says “Gatwa will take control of the TARDIS as the fifteenth Doctor with his first episode airing over the festive period in 2023.” When people say “the festive period”, this means Christmas and New Year or the Twelve Days of Christmas. I don’t think for one moment that it means the return of the Christmas episodes. We were…[Read more]

The Disney+ deal actually reduces the number of potential viewers for Doctor Who to approximately 150,000,000 in all the countries where they operate! Australia alone has nearly 26,000,000 people nowadays, while Canada has nearly 39,000,000. Do you expect most of them to subscribe to Disney+? If so, when might we see this sudden surge in Disney+…[Read more]

@dentarthundert OK, here’s a revised version…

DOCTOR WHO (2005) ENDS

The BBC have confirmed in their usual ambiguous style (i.e. “having a rest”, “having a longer than usual wait”, etc) that the revived series of Doctor Who is ending. It nearly finished in 2021, but not many people noticed, due to deliberately confusing ambiguous statements…[Read more]

@devilishrobby I can assure you that I AM a true Who fan! I’ve been watching Doctor Who since I was a little boy. Doctor Who is the only thing that remains in my life while other things keep changing, coming and going. My whole attitude is that Doctor Who must take priority for the actors playing The Doctor, as well as for the BBC. What this means…[Read more]

DOCTOR WHO (2005) ENDS

The BBC have confirmed that the revived series of Doctor Who is ending. It actually finished in 2021, but not many people noticed due to ambiguous statements from the BBC. There are now just a few specials left to show in 2023. These will be followed by a Disney+ funded new series, expected to be only six episodes long, in…[Read more]

@captainlando Jodie Whittaker was fantastic as The Doctor! Of course, whenever there’s a new Doctor I can’t help thinking if it really is The Doctor, but I certainly remember feeling in Jodie’s second episode “The Ghost Monument” that she was The Doctor, saying the type of things The Doctor would say.

Unfortunately, lots of people started a…[Read more]

@Oblique

Hidden news! As Doctor Who will be financed by and shown on Disney+ , doesn’t that mean that in future each Doctor Who series will be only six episodes long, as this is the standard length for a Disney+ series?

I’m sorry about all the HTML tags in my last post! I copied this post from my email after getting an error message there, but then added a few more words. Some time ago, I edited a message to remove the tags, but then found the message got hidden and I couldn’t repost it. Perhaps a moderator could remove the tags.

<div dir=”auto”>@Oblique The expression clean slate applied to Doctor Who may only be a rumour. I think what it might mean is The Doctor having all his memories wiped, then being left to wander round space and time without meeting any Daleks, Cybermen, The Master, Sontarans, Autons, Silurians, Sea Devils, Ice Warriors, Mara, or any other alien…[Read more]

So, after this spectacular episode “The Power of The Doctor” coming late in yet another year with only three specials and no new series, not even one with only six episodes, it looks like the BBC have pretty well killed off Doctor Who as a TV series! They started doing this in 2009 when David Tennant was allowed to go off and play Shakespeare,…[Read more]

One thing I forgot about which should have been explained in this episode if not in a previous episode, but it never has been. The Thirteenth Doctor’s hair. After a regeneration, the Doctor’s whole body and hair are changed. The colour, type or hair, and hairstyle can all change. One thing still remains a mystery, though. Just after regenerating…[Read more]
